installed Blau 6.5" in the front, 5.25 in thr back

Post by jeffgtx »

not really newsworthy, but i wanted to share two things:1) i followed cohocarls install post, except i used the "i am too afraid to drill rivets"variation. you dont have to drill out those brackets if you don't want too. i literally pulled the existing speaker out and cut out the plastic part holding the magnet and pulled out the metal going into teh connector. then drilled out the connector bracket so that the wire could go through it and hooked it to the existing speaker wire.did the same on the rear, but the speaker grill was hitting the middle part of the speaker, so i cut out the plastic pars going across and pulled it out to make room. you cant tell from the otherside of the panel.2) something is goofy. i know the speakers are 4ohm and all that, but the stock head units seems to sound normal, but now all of a sudden the ipod2car need the volume almost turned all the way up on most songs to be heard, and the bass is practically nothing, unless its an R&B song. any clues?here is the brecket still in teh door.
