Re: 2001 Deville Base model sound upgrade

The pont in all the peakers is that if you hear most people with loud bass, most of them you cannot hear the words to the songs. All you hear is bass. I wanted to be able to hear the words more than the bass, and with the insanely loud Solo-X that is what I needed to do to accomplish that. I dont know why it looks so off in the pics but the color of the interior is grey, its not tan, and the vinyl covering on everything matches almost perfectly. Why is looks so different in the pics, I have no idea.

At the time when I did all this I had just bought a brand new truck and was driving that all the time. I had always put "systems" in my cars, and this time I just wanted something to go to sound competitions with. I did start out with not wanting to tear the car apart and everything blend in. But every time I ended up wanting it louder and louder, so I had to start over. I did this 3 times, and even though my local stereo shop bought back all of my equipment for 80% of what I paid for it the month before, it still cost me around $5,000 extra than it would have if I had just done it to begin with. The back deck has that hole because I changed the setup the third time and just decided to keep the second times rear deck and plug it. (It was a port).

The panel under the head unit is an EQ. If that is what you are talking about. The screen does cover the A/C controls, but it has a button on it that when pressed makes screen control pop up on the screen and you can move it in and out and tilt it back and forward.

As for the doors, most any high end 6 1/2 speakers have big magnets or backs on them. The only way to fit two in the door was to make a fiberglass door mount.
