Big magnets on those speakers?? Likely hitting the HVAC duct on the back of the dash.
White88Formula had the same problem here: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...2/HTML/106287-2.html

Fierosound this may have been asked before but what do you recommend for subs and speakers? im assuming you would recommend the Infinity KAPPA 50.7CS for the speakers...but what about subs? you've read some of my posts and I'm looking for good...for lack of a better word...'' bump '' I want quality base that still punches. I'm beginning to think my 12" comp subs should and would be better used in a different car.

In recent times, the custom aftermarket car/automobile roadwheel has become a status symbol. These wheels are often incorrectly referred to as "rims". The term "rim" is incorrect because the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel (where the tire is mounted )

I have 10" Oz Audio subs - not longer available. And since I'm not "in the industry" I have no first hand knowledge on direct comparisons. The industry really screws things up too with over-inflated numbers because it "sounds like MORE" to the uninformed person (using PMP "Peak Music Power" (what it will take/make before it blows up) watts instead of RMS watts). Ignore the BIG numbers, and use the RMS watts ratings whenever matching speakers/subs to amplifier power.

But general guidelines:

- in a Fiero, two 10" subs are plenty AND easier to fit and have a wide selection.
- you DO NOT need 1000 watt subs (likely a PMP rating anyway). 100-250 RMS watts per sub is plenty provided your amp puts out 250 RMS watts per channel. (300 RMS amp to a 250 RMS sub is OK)
- To me - efficiency rating is more important (rating is deciBels per 1 Watt measured from 1 meter away). 89 dB/W/m is more efficient (and louder) than 83 dB/W/m at 1 Watt.

See what the guys in the Subwoofer forum are talking about. Search forum using "small enclosure": http://www.caraudioforum.com/

I just printed and cut the plates but also didn't work with the Boston S50 I used. I guess the magnet and depth of those Infinity gotta be very small. At the end I had to move the speakers toward the center. The template is good but don't cut the speaker holes until you measure several times.

Yup - BIG magnets may cause a problem. The Infinity 50.7CS I used have a Neodymium magnet and heatsink. Very compact. Some on eBay.

I cut a few sets of your speaker plates out of 3/16" aluminum on a water jet.
