I was just wondering. If the Fiero sound system was to be redesigned, from scratch. How would one go about doing it? Is there a better speaker placement then the dash? Should speakers be placed in the doors or the foot wells? How about tweeters in the A-pillars?

I'm just rambling! But I would like a better sound stage and I am redesigning the interior of my Fiero. So now would be a good time to figure out speaker placement.

On another note: what is this muffler system that is being talked about? I have a 3800 SC and it is a little to loud.

Thanks!

I noticed you had recommended the Infinity 50.7 which is now discontinued, do you by chance know if the 50.9CS larger magnet will interfere on the driver's side?




Looks very good Will. But I'd have cut the holes after buying the speaker set,
because they should be sized for the tweeter and midrange you will be installing.

There can be fitment problems with larger magnets - interference with the HVAC duct.
Nothing that can't be fixed with a heat gun.

Thanks for the tip on the heat gun Tony I received my speakers Sat. and the components fit perfectly. I have been waiting on the stereo upgrade as my head unit needs be upgraded as well. The rear speakers will be next. I haven't really decided what I am going to do about subs at this point.

2 to the woofer, 2 to the tweeter. This is the Infinity KAPPA 50.7CS set I installed.





what's a good rear 4x6 (infinity, want to stick with the same brand as 507CS) to complement the 5.25?

thanks

Refer to this thread: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...090907-2-088293.html
I have a Reference 462.1cf set in my GT - now discontinued. http://www.crutchfield.com/...y-Kappa-462-1cf.html

There's a lot less choice in 4"x6" plates than there used to be. Infinity, Polk Audio, Pioneer are usually good brands.

But magnet size and depth is critical because there is minimal room in the sail panel - TOO BIG a magnet won't fit.

This Pioneer looks good. Anyone using this???

JBL 4x6 plates appear to be really deep (about 1-3/4" maximum will fit)


This INFINITY REF 6432CFP has a monster sized magnet that I don't imagine will fit.
