RE: [DML] New Speaker Install...Save original car

["Kevin Abato" <delorean@xxxx>]

Thanks Mark!

Objective here was to keep it inexpensive. Fixing the $1k AC leak in the
car this spring is my major concern. 

I chalk it all up to this...It was cheep, and If I wanted to be THAT
concerned with the sound, I would go all out and build speaker boxes.
ANYTHING has to sound better then those 20 year old 4x10" speakers in the
side walls! ;)

Fiberboard).. Or if you want to be real high tech, you can order special
acoustic board sold by many car audio vendors.. The board the speakers are
mounted to have a incredible impact on the sound quality.
