I have been wanting to install some components in 6 x 9 spots. I understand one can manufacture a bracket to install them in wood? Does anyone know about this?
I have been wanting the cl-61a speakers from CDT that everyone has been talking about, but I do have a line on some Pioneer 6.5" two way components for $77.00. Seems like a pretty good deal, but has anyone had any experience with these speakers? The part number is TS-C1353.
Also am in the market for a 4/3/2 amp that will give me about 80 -95W rms per chan @ 4ohm in 4channel mode. Any suggestions? Don't really care about flash, just looking for good SQ and still have some power, while keeping the price reasonable. Thanks ya'll!

it is not hard at all. just take the factory speaker out, and trace its shape as well as mounting holes on a piece of 1/4-1/2" (mdf prefered). now if the speaker is a 6.5", take the new speaker or better yet its grill and trace it on top of the factory speaker trace. If you do have the grill then trace the hole on the inside, and you can then cut it out. Doesn't take long, use some black spraypaint to give it a little better look. You can also use a router for a perfect shape if you have access to one...

Atta boy toocs... as for amps, many of us are opting for the US Acoustics USX (USB) 4085 for 4 channel amps. Under $200.00 at Crutchfield.com or the zeb.com.
This amp is 85 RMS x 4 to a 4 ohm load. You can bridge the rear channens for modest sub applications as well... but need a 4 ohm load total when bridging.

Thanks guys. I will try to make some brackets with my router. I am assuming that I would need to route out a round area to mount the tweets in next to the speaker. The tweets will sit flush with the wood and the speaker will obviously need to go through the bracket. I was originally wanting to mount the tweets up high on the door near chest level, but I was told that it wouldn't make much diff and would be a reason to break into the truck so I was just going to mount them by the 6.5's in the door.
I am seriously thinking about buying the mtx thunderforms for my truck. Anything bad about the mtx 6000 speakers it comes loaded with? They are dual voice and come wired to present a 4 olm load. I have a small RF am to push them with but was eventually goiing to get a good mono amp. Anyone got some info on these? I saw somewere online where I could buy the box and install the speaks on my own, but the mtx's look like a good deal... that is unless the are junk. Thanks..

Some folks that have PU trucks with tight rear seatiing areas have used the thunderform design and reported good results. These are down firing subs if I reacall and will work.
The MTX 6000 is not a great sub for the price they charge...but for low power applications (<500 watts RMS) should work OK. I cannot recall the cf airspace per sub in these thunders... but if you get close to 0.75 cf /sub (sealed) with a pair of 10's, not bad bass.
