Glad for you she's cool with it.....mine doesn't mind as long as I put stuff in the family grocery runner at the same time.....

So what are you putting in that area?? Both sets of the RFs??

A couple more pics and I'll figure it out.....

For now, just the 2 pair of RF's. Going 2 way active on the 800.4. At least then I'll be able to separately control by tweets & drivers TA. Although I'm not sure if my Pioneers Auto TA will work. Last time I tried, it told me to check my front speakers because it didn't find midrange sound. Worse case is I have to manually adjust it without that starting point.

I'm looking at the old JL XR653-CS component 3 way set with an additional 6W3v3 for MB. Set comes with 6.5" MB, 4" Mid, 1" Tweet. Gonna have to leave room for that bottom W3v3 MB to fit in the future. It's a beefy little driver.

Thats what I'm aiming for ... but for now these cheaply built RF components sound good enough for me. lol

And here i thought I was the only person who believes in over-kill for my front stage....

Looking forward to seeing the end results.....

Well .... I assuming that placing speakers anywhere other than the poorly positioned factory locations that are half covered in plastic would be a start in the right SQ direction.

Then I'm assuming the set of JL XR653-CS (6.5", 4", 1" 3 way) and JL 6W3v3 for midbass should improve my SQ over the Rockfords. IMO....

My decks TA & EQ are only so good. So I'm going to have to work on processing after I get everything done speaker wise. After this project its back to a new enclosure and amp rack. I was going to do that first but like to hear my music so decided to beef up the front stage first. My 800a4 is doing a nice job, but I'm dieing to put my 800a2 back to use on some 6W3v3's.

I made the speaker rings yesterday. I'll take a couple pics when I finish them today.

Here is the rough cuts for the speaker mounts and grills. Should have them finish routed and sanded by noon.
