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

["Kevin Abato" <delorean@xxxx>]

As i said in another post, I was trying to keep this cheep.

Had I known about the plywood situation, i would have looked into
alternatives. But what is done, is done, and I was not looking for any type
of "Ultimate" Sound system.

I left the original foam in place, and cut out JUST a little so that the
speakers had hte mounting depth needed. I am replacing hte foam on the
sides that "plug" the pontoon section of the body, so I am hoping that when
all is said and done, engine noise should not be any louder.

I mounted the speakers where they are, becuase any closer to the sides of
the car, there is a lot of wiring. I didnt think it best to but a large
magnetic speaker next to the wires of the car....hence the speakers current
location (I also took into account the foam that "plugs" the pontoon
section)
