I'm glad you're more than happy with how great this sub works. 
People who hear this system can't believe I'm running all the main speakers off a factory deck, and that such a small sunwoofer makes such BIG bass. Now it's NOT going to sound like your typical boom-box ricer driving down the street, but it is MORE than adequate to fill out any sound system in the Fiero.
Kudos to Bigfieroman who did the research and found this sub in the first place.

Finally! I started a detailed thread of my 84 project that this stereo system went into...

No. It seems to be OK - no problems with these. You have to remember it's running through a crossover and that impedance varies somewhat throughout the frequency range. Infinity also says that these are "safe" for factory decks, none of which would be 2ohms anyway.
While I would not personally wire 4ohm headrest speakers in parallel, which creates a 2ohm load, others have done so without problems.

Does anybody have an idea as to protecting the cone on an installed Tang Band?

Great write up! With this set up, can you still use the stock premium sound slider switch on the headliner?

Thanks. I have an 84 so it didn't have a slider (premium sound wasn't available until 86?). But someone figured out a way to make the slider work with an aftermarket amp. It's covered here: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/097104.html

Also, there is documentation here to install a factory subwoofer system to an aftermarket cd player, or just a Fiero that didn't come with it.

Has anyone else had any problem with their speaker plates. Made two sets out of hard board but each ended up breaking at due to the large size of the hole required for the 5.25" speaker...very thin walls.
Gonna make them out of 3/16" aluminum - should resolve the problem.

One of the first things to do is gut the interior and install soundproofing of some type. This will quiet the car from road noise and greatly improve the acoustics and efficiency of your stereo system. There's various products around like Dynamat and it's competitors and some people also use peel 'n stick roofing materials with sucess. Don't forget to cover the back of your door panels.

Where did you buy this roofing stuff? I've been to Lowe's and Home Depot and the only peel n stick stuff I could find had the granular (sand) stuff on the non stick side. It was in a roll. Thanks for help!
