Doesn't sound too difficult to do then. I just may have to tackle this.
This may seem like a dumb question, but when the front speakers are amped, do they over-power the stock woofers in the doors? In other words, can you still hear the bass coming from the oem woofers? Thanks.

Sorry I have not logged on awhile. I did not have to drill anything. The PAC has line level adjusters on it as well as your amp ( it should) I would adjust those before you adjust it on your radio fader. That way you keep the full sound to your fronts. I added a Clarion eq for (55) in the trunk to adjust the sound to my rear deck speakers as well I will post some pictures tonight. Pretty good sound for the $$. I do not get any engine or alternator noise in my set up.

I saw what looked like adjustment screws on the PAC but wasn't sure. So that's where I could adjust each speaker instead of fading it? I have the Clarion XC1410 amp and it doesn't have any adjustment on it, just the high level/low level inputs. The electrical hum is so low you can barely hear it. I'll have to check into the Clarion eq also.

I found this link a while back and used it to do mine. Great write-up and pics.

Here is my old amp and the clarion EQ mounted to the box I built

I have 3/4" inch aluminum spacers between the box and the amp & crossover

and here is what it looks like in the front. I used tie downs just in case the box does fit pretty snug though. I have to puts a little with the eg but it does improve the sound and no noise either. I wish I could get it in the front but I do not want to cut anything and I want to keep the factory HU.

Yep you gain adjust the output gain there.

DJ2014

All right, thanks!

I tried the Alpine spr69 did not like them they distorted quickly, I am just sticking with the Infinity reference 9632cf they were 79 on amazon. It sounds a whole lot better then before. Thanks on the baffles I was not thinking correctly on that one.

Which Alpines? Good to hear you got the Infinity's sounding better though...

I'm not using the factory subs in my car. I have some peerless 8" in the doors right now. They have some issues, plus I need to work on the EQ. The new wires in my doors were for what was originally to be a three way in the door, but I've changed to a two way front set up. I have hlcd horns mounted under the dash and the 8" in place of the factory subs.

Show me the horns!

I just installed this same eq and what a difference it makes. Now to amp the front speakers and add the eq to them also (if it ever quits raining here).

+1!!

Good info on the PAC guys, thanks. I am kind of considering this now. Sounds like the line quality is decent. Why you guys are amping the rear speakers is still beyond me though lol.....but to each his own I guess.

DJ2014

I'm used to it growing up with older cars with rear speakers. I prefer to be surrounded by the sound, just not coming at me from the front only. I'm hoping to run the speaker wires to the doors next week.

I hear you there. I was the same way with all my previous cars. Im just used to doing the fronts first. I will be interested to hear how it all sounds. I keep changing my mind on how to go about mine
