1993 Saturn SL2 install

[alm001]

Hello,
I thought I would share my install, and pad my post count.

Car is a 1993 Saturn SL2. That's right, TWINCAM.
Car currently has 210,000 miles on it.

Everyone always puts an equipment list in their threads, so;
Source: Cd Player
Processor: No
Amplifier: Yes
Front Speakers: 6.5" Components with crossovers
Rear Speakers: No, thanks
Subwoofer: No
Deadener: Everywhere that was necessary...

On to the pics!
The car:

Yes, those are Integra wheels.

Ashtray was out to drill a hole for the mp3 player connection.

Amplifier (freshly powdercoated):


The woofers are in the stock door location
Here is a pic of one of the tweeters (imagine a very similar situation on the other side:

I wanted to use the Garmin GPS mounts, but they are way too much money.
These are universal radar detector mounts I got for $7.
The reason they are so large is that eventually, I plan to put 3 (dayton) tweeters on each side.

This is where the crossovers are installed (tweeters have obviously been moved):

Why 3 tweeters on each side?

Is that a PPI art series that you powdercoated gray?

It will be a mini-array... increased output, reduced distortion, lower xover point...

No, its an MA audio that they made to copy the art series... I wish they had copied more than the shape. I got it for free tho.

Interesting...

Yes, interesting. Will you aim all three tweeters the same?

Also, I like the Integra wheels. And Saturns.

Nice Denon, too!

[alm001]

All three may be the same aiming... or I might do a subtle parabola. I will figure that out once I get the parts together.
Currently the tweeters are pointed right at my ears, and I am going to go for the same thing with the array.

[alm001]

I am going to try to sell the denon, and the quarts when my post count gets up... someday.

Here is a pic of the inside of that amp.
Prepare to be impressed.


Plenty of power for the current front stage.
Future plans are to get (2) 4 channels to power the fronts, and maybe go 3 way.
