So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[Mike Ioanou]

Just changing out speakers definitely makes a huge difference. I'll be content for awhile which is good, now I can focus on saving for my Meth

Nice, I appreciate the info. I like the idea of an LMS or Unleashed tuner but I really want to improve the sound first. That factory junk is weak.

Installed new front and rear door speakers. Can't beat the sound for the price and they really made a huge difference. At least the doors are out of the way now when I do the rest of the system

What is the power RMS from factory amp to these speakers?

 

[Choppa]

Not sure, probably low. The stock speakers are 25w lol. The kickers are 75w RMS and 225 peak. I'm sure I'm nowhere near the 75 RMS but clarity and sound definitely improved.

Got my gauge pod and got everything installed today. Fun little gadget. Monitors several different things that you can cycle through. Had it set to the boost parameter in the pics.

 

[Ahrmadillo]

It’s that reading boost pressure? Is it in psi or kPa? I wanna get one

Yes. It's in PSI. Got everything on Amazon.

Did you need anything to install these or just swap them out?

Plug n Play. They came with the harness adapter.

I haven't looked yet but I'm guessing the rear door speakers are also 6x8?

Yes they are. Rear deck is 6x9 and centers are 3.5". 1" will fit the tweeters.

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

 

[marius883]

Where can you get a 6x8 component set? Or would a 6,5” set fit? Obviously you don’t want coaxials in the front doors, rear doors yes.

I don't think 6x5 will fit without modification. I put coax in since that is what I took out, remember you still have tweeters in the doors and the signal splits at the amp.

But here are a couple links for you:

So after 2 years of mulling over wheels/tire combos, and months of measuring, and offset calculating, I finally got my wheels/tires. 20x9.5 Konig Oversteers +40mm offset. with 275/40/20 Cooper RS3-S all the way round. Fit could not be anymore perfect on the front. Just installed one to ease my mind on the front strut clearance. And I have 3-4mm of clearance. On the fender side, they fit perfectly flush. I'll get them all installed tomorrow when my hub rings, 3mm spacer plates and slim lug nuts come tomorrow.

And, BDP, I was very close to getting the Nt555g2's. The BFG Comp 2, Cooper RS3-S and Nt555g2 were my final 3.

Glad the setup has turned out as you intended!

Now get out there and enjoy them.

Wheels look sharp and I've heard decent things about those Coop's.

But for me, I couldn't pass on the deal I got on my Nitto's.

Suffice to say we're both happy!

Let's see how fast you can burn off that rubber

Took mine to local body shop to get the hood painted. When she gets back I will finish buffing out the rest of the panels and polish her up.
