Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
It's been a little while since I posted an update.
A few months back, I made up a plate to squeeze a pair of 5-1/4" Rockford Fosgate speakers into the stock speaker location in the dash. That made a significant improvement over the pair of 4" Kenwoods we installed there previously, but even with the help of the amp, audio quality was still seriously lacking.
Yesterday, we finished up and installed a pair of speaker boxes made to fit in the cab corners. The boxes are wrapped in faux leather and house a pair of Kicker 4x10" 2-way speakers (p/n KSC41004). Talk about a night and day difference! I pulled most of the bass out of the 5-1/4" fronts with the amp's HPF and left the 4x10" rears set up as full-range. It's loud, clear, and has some depth now. Can't wait to take it out for a cruise as soon as the weather cooperates.
