This question concerns my son's 95 MTX. The original owner replaced the
factory stereo with some fairly nice aftermarket equipment that came with
the car. Here's the list.
o Pioneer DEH- P8000R head unit (45W/channel)
o MTX electronic crossover
o Rockford Fosgate Punch 200 A4 amp
o Rockford Fosgate Punch 225 amp for subs
o Eagle Power Cap 20V
o Wiring in place for trunk mounted CD changer.
I can say it looks damn impressive. Sound OTOH is an issue I'm trying to
debug. From what I can tell, the original factory speakers are still with
the car. My main fear is that the equipment is way overmatching the
speakers. Can someone comment on this? If so, what recommendations would
you make to replace the factory speakers to match up with the power output.
In case you are wondering, there is no intent here to blast out the windows
of the adjacent car. Just looking for crisp, clear sound, not that urban
thunder boom crap.
TIA,
Carl P.
