Okay all, after many mishaps with the scosche kit and a lot work, I got my new system in. Here is what it consist of...

JVC 200w Head Unit - MP3
4 Factory Ford Speakers - (yes, I left them)
2 JVC 5 way 460 watt 6x9s in boxes
2 10" Kenwood subs in dual bandpass box
650 Watt JVC Amp

Here's the pics...

[crackhead]

why do you have the 6x9s in the floor?

 

[EDIII]

I have the same HU. I have had no problems in the 3 months since install.

 

[godspunk32]

Yeah...why aren't the speakers installed where they're supposed to be installed???

Do those 6x9 boxes make good foot rests or what?

 

[godspunk32]

Maybe he didn't want to go through all the trouble of modding the rear parcel shelf to accept 6x9s???

JR

Nice system.

 

[hotwater]

I left the 6x9's in the boxes because I thought that I could get better sound out of them in the boxes than in the parcel shelf. I do have them running off of the amp so there is a bit of vibration coming from them. I think that they sound really good. DO you guys think that they would sound better in the shelf? And yeah, my kids love them as foot rest. Thanks to all.....

I don't know if you can or not with the subbox but you could get a little longer screw and put the speakers in the shelf with the boxes behind them, if they will fit. Where are you stations at? My wife and I just got back from England and I got all of my Kenwood stuff at the BX there. I was going to get the subbox. How does it sound anyway? I have always been a big fan of bandpass boxes.

Stationed in Baumholder, Germany. The PX is great for namebrand stuff. Just wish they had more of it. I love the box. Best part was that the PX stopped carrying it and had one left. I got it on clearance. Total for the box that you see. $139. Pretty coll, huh? I will look into mounting the 6x9's like you said. I have a pretty good bit of sound coming through them and I think that I would mess up just making the wholes larger. Like I said before, I still have the 4 factory speakers hooked up. So total I am running 6 speakers and 2 subs. Let me know what you think...

 

[godspunk32]

You're probably going to get better sound out of the 6x9's is they're mounted in the shelf, because they're built to be free air, and will be able to move more if they're mounted in a free-air application, rather than in an enclosed application. I have been told, however, that it is difficult to get 6x9's into the rear parcel shelf of the Gen IV.

What CD is in the HU? Is it playing Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson?

Either that or tourniquet by Evanescence

 

[hotwater]

Mike, you are correct. It's tourniquet by Evanescence. I love that band. Any way... I test fitted the 6x9's in the rear parcel shelf and bad news. The magnet on the back of them are so big that they hit the torsion bars for the deck lid. I could do something with it but I'm not sure I want to go through all of that trouble. I took the factory speakers out of there to allow a little more bass to seep through the trunk and everything sounds pretty good. I think that I may need some bigger subs and a bigger amp though. Still not as much sound as I had in the Tracker...
