Default Rear Seat Speakers

Hey, i blew the original subs that were there, and i was wondering what would be a good replacement. I put in kicker midranges, but it sounds like one is ripped, but i cant find any tears, any advice? Aslo, what would be another idea of what else i could put in there, any comments would help. Thanx!

Hey! I just put some 6.5" MA Audio subs in my 02'WS6 yesterday and in my opinion with the existing speakers, it sounds great! I will replace all of the speakers with MA Audios as time goes on, I just couldn't stand the "popping" sound of the delcos. Good Luck! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I got the MA Audio speakers from Meggamax.com. They are true subs, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I really like the sound of them. They bolt right up, the only thing is I would have a professional installer put them in due to the wiring harness' and in all keeping it "neat". Good Luck! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Hey, Meggamax.com does not seem to work, at least on my computer. Do you know of anywhere else I could get the MA 6.5 Subs, or if there is another site for meggamax???

I would go to MA Audio's website www.MAAudio.com They should be able to have a contact number where you can call and find a distributor in your area. I do have Meggamax's # 770-439-1073. Beware though, they are somewhat vauge and have a little bit of an ego <img border="0" alt="[gay]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_rainbow.gif" /> , but they do have quality equipment...Good Luck! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I just bought a set of Kenwood 6.5" subs for that spot in my car, but they haven't gone in yet. I'm using an Orion 222sx amp to drive them. I still need to get 6.5" components for the front (which will be driven by a PPI 25x2 amp) and then the system will be installed in about two weeks.

hey, all i can find at MA Audio's site are 6x9's. Cant seem to find the 6.5's you were talking about. I was thinking about using the wiring for the original subs and extending the wires to the hatch and putting the 6x9's in where those lil 4 inch comps are. Then wiring some components where the subs were, would that work???

I wouldn't change the wiring to the back speakers, I'd leave them as is w/a mid and high. Just replace the factory speakers w/aftermarket.

This is a fact! I don't know s#$? about wiring that's why I paid someone to install. I'm good at a lot of things, but wiring isn't one of them... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
