Installation Description

I first started with the Lightning Audio speakers. They were cheap and better than what I had, then I got the new head unit. That was quite an ordeal with the random harness wired in from the previous owner. After the head unit was installed I got the subwoofer brand new from a friend. I then bought the Sony 6.5" speakers and cut holes and mounted them in the cargo area. A couple weeks later I bought the amplifier and wiring kit and my friend helped me install the subwoofer.

Scorecard by Crutchfield

Sound profile:
Warm
Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.
Neutral
A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.
Bright
Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
