BTW - CDs burn and play from the inside out, opposite from LPs. CDs slow down as they progress toward the outer edge to conserve space but the linear speed is the same. If there are any scratches on the outer diameter that will affect the playback at the end. I've found this to be a common problem. Nearly every CD I have ever burned fails near the end, (outer edge).

The second CD I burned is playing just fine. I burned it at a slower speed and I think that helped. Maybe depending on your computer, in needs to be burned at some less-than-maximum speed or slower to create a recording of consistant quality. Mine didn't work well set to fastest available so I tried burning it at 8X the playback speed. You might try that or something even slower such as 7X or 6X. Keep trying slower and slower until you are satisfied with the playback.

I ran into another problem. The weather has been warm since I put the new speakers in so I have been using the "Vent" setting on my HVAC control ever since. The other day, my shoes got really muddy at work so I hosed them off and set them in the garage. They were still wet the next morning so I wanted to run the "Heat" to try to dry the shoes on the way to work.
When I selected the other settings, the air just kept coming from the vent. I suspected that I had done something during my speaker install that had disabled the HVAC selector function. After checking several things, I discovered that I had mounted the crossover box in the path of the door. The door was caught on one of the mounting screws and it couldn't move.
I'm really glad that the motor didn't burn out from trying to move against the screw. No telling how long it was in a bind. I will re-mount the box in the same place but I'll use double-sided sticky tape this time.

Here's a good replacement for headrest speakers - Tang-Band 3" full-range 8ohms w/neodymium magnet
I've done a replacement with these and they sound very good.
I found the tweeters on the others to be a little shrill so close to the ears.

You are 'remembering wrong'
That was Kent Hill who came up with the same name I had been using for YEARS when he decided to start a Fiero Stereo business.
http://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...030531-1-026561.html
To avoid confusion, I bought the domain name from him and he went with PontiacSound (search Kent Hill or pontiacsound)
As I recall, as seems to happens with Fiero vendors, he took people's money and had problems delivering...[This message has been edited by fierosound (edited 12-17-2015).]

Wow, was I ever wrong. My sincere apologies.
It's been a decade, & after reading that thread, it still amazes me how bad it got. I was even one of the folks he didn't deliver on & I had even commented on that thread too. I guess I blocked out that frustration. Now that I'm back in the Fiero game after not having one for years, looks like I need to go back and do some research on myself. Thanks for setting me straight.
We now return back to the point of this thread.
