That's correct. I thought I'd give it a try because it feels that same as Dynamat I used in my GT. There should be similar products at US stores.
Some other ideas http://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...030531-1-025830.html

It IS a pretty impressive speaker. Any details? Are you running this with stock deck and sub-woofer amp?

Yea I know, that much bass from a 5 inch sub-woofer?? When I tell people i got a 5-inch sub, they are like...HAHA. I say just wait till you hear it. 
I'm running a late 90's Pontiac radio, Just like the one you have in your Indy, i think, except mine has a cassette player (I didn't install it  ). And yes, I'm using the stock amp, works great for my needs. My car has the Performance Option, I just swapped speakers.
You should have seen the old one. The cone was so bad, i could break it off in chips.
Oh, and i'm still using the factory 4X10s and 4X6s. Still sound good enough for me.

Hey fierosound - you're really an inspiration, thanks for the great write-up.
Question:
My idea was to wire up b-pillar speakers in my 84, and install a high-pass crossover for the seat speakers, so only the highest ( and most directional ) pitches come from them. Either that, or I'll ditch the seat speakers all together. What's your opinion on that, and what kind of crossovers would you use? (If its not a dumb idea)

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Normally, you want to your music to be FRONT sound-stage, and the rear speakers just recreate the ambiance (echoes/reflections) you'd get in a room with a live performance on a stage in FRONT of you. Some of the biggest winners in really high-end car audio accomplish this with NO rear speakers at all. Sounds like you want it to sound more "live" and the band is BEHIND you??

To be honest, I don't know too much about sound staging, which is one reason why I wanted your opinion. I really don't like people singing right into my ears, but I was trying to think of a way to incorporate the headrest speakers simply because of their cool factor.
I can see how it would be strange to have the majority of the sound coming from in front of you and a few high pitched noises coming from right behind you though.

... and you would have made this effect much sharper. You may like the system better with pillar speakers and no headrest speakers to eliminate that "in your ear" effect.
How do they test car audio?? http://www.edmunds.com/owne.../156589/article.html[This message has been edited by fierosound (edited 01-19-2010).]
