[Shotimes] Another blasted stereo question

[Bill Murray]

JL Audio makes some relatively inexpensive coaxial or component
speakers, and also MB Quart, but they can be a little "bright".  Both of
these companies also make more expensive ones too if you really want
some great sound quality.  You can usually find a set of them for a good
price on eBay, but you won't get the Manufacturers warranty since the
eBay person isn't a licensed dealer.  A/D/S also makes some good
speakers, but they can be a little pricey.  None of these will give you
the "ghetto boom" since they are just for ~80 hz and above.  Also make
sure that you have the speakers powered by the Rockford A4 only and not
also off of the head unit.  By-amping like this is not recommended and
will most likely damage your speakers.

Subject: [Shotimes] Another blasted stereo question

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.
