After reading this tread, there was useful information but I didnt see anything regarding crossover. I have an Evo 8 that came with the SSL package. I an looking to replace the H.U. but I wanted to know about crossover. What happens with the tweeters in the front with an aftermarket unit?

 

Does anyone know the volume of the stock SSL box?

 

does any maufacturer make a remove and replace direct fit no mod speaker setup to fit the 2006 evo MR...a local place did a hack and splice and now the speaker frames are bent and 1 speaker is physically blown. who uses masonite?!?!?!?!?!?! the oem mounts are still there and i want to just get something that will drop in to the oem factory speaker holes and screw mounts
any thoughts

 

ik there are speaker adapter plates made for our cars, im trying to find them right now, i need some too, i saw them before

just orderd the Pioneer Deh 5200HD from amazon.com the reviews are good and a buddy of mine who works at a stereo shop said is a good one to go with we'll see.

 

I have been searching around for the specs on the stock evo 8 speakers but I cant find anything. I plan on getting the pioneer DEH-P9800BT 22w rms/50w peak per channel and was wondering if that would be enough for now or would you suggest getting a small 4 channel amp as well?

 

an amp really helps.

 

Anyone know the rms wattage of the stock speakers?

 

I would recommend the Alpine PDX-5 amp to all who are looking to power all 4 speakers and a sub. It's great little amp if you want to add a nice overall sound as well as save trunk space and the hassle of hooking up 2 amps.It goes for about 300-350 online. Also you will need a HU which has a 5 channel RCA pre amp output to match up with this amp.

I recently bought and Evo and pulled my entire system out of my Civic. Now I am powering 2 rears (6 1/2") and a sub while i wait for the 2 fronts and adaptors to arrive in the mail. I also would like to order some 1" tweeters for the pillars once I have an idea of the wiring set up. Before tearing the door panels and pillars off, I would like to know more about the tweeters in the pillars and how they are wired. I assume they are rigged through the fronts but I am not sure. Anyone have an idea? Any suggestions on some solid 1" tweeters that will fit without any modifications to the pillars? Also, I have a box of Dynamat Extreme along with Dynamat tape, roller, and heat gun which was intended for my old Civic. I have been thinking about installing it in the Evo. Anyone think it's worth the hassle of installing? Which parts of the car are most beneficial to install on?

 

usually speakers have the info on them

 

So... I have an Alpine deck from my old WRX and I just want to buy a harness from Crutchfield to make my life easier. I have an IX MR ("SE") and Crutchfield is asking me if it is 4, 6 or 7 speakers. Sounds like 6?

thanks

I think they are refering to the six, but just type in everyone to see if the model number changes. I didn't notice a difference. I have an 06 SE and the harness I got from them was spot on. Look at the power pack (since alpine)and wiring harness threads to see other info. I still don't know what the orange and black stripe wire was for (chasis ground?). The wiring harness I ordered even matched color for color and stripe for stripe.

 

Yeah, I bought the 6 speaker one and it worked out fine. I just wasn't 100% sure if the tweeters "counted" or not. I am not that good at this stereo stuff, and I was worried the SSL was 6 and the SSL + subwoofer was 7 or something like that.

 

Can someone pic a factory mitsu harness tagged with color and function of all cables for both regular and SSL packages (if they differ). I have a factory headunit i'm going to ohm out for another poster and lost the info. Plus it could clear up alot of later questions. Thanx
