Hey folks, I'm new here and have a couple of questions that someone in this forum might have the answers to. Being down here in the states I can't get ANY info on these speakers from anyone it seems.

I have a pair of AVI SL200 8 inchers that I have owned since purchasing them new in 1991, these are new in the box and never mounted. I'm finally getting around to putting them to use.

Does anyone have any specs out there on these old AVI's? I specifically need the driver volume specs for top and bottom mounting them.

Has anyone out there used these and what would be your recommendations for a good ported enclosure to mount them in?

I listen mainly to rock/pop/country so this is going to be more of an SQ system install in my 97 GMC Jimmy than anything, no rap and this will never be used in any competitions.

Thanks,
Scott
