Gang,
This whole Tuffy mass buy has got me pretty excited. I’m already picking up a center console so that I can finally install a stereo in my EB. Since the prices for the Tuffy products are so good I was thinking about purchasing a set of the 6x9 rear speaker boxes too. I have done some searching on past threads and found quite a bit of quality info, however, I still have some questions for those of you with the rear speaker boxes.
First, since I have a manual on the floor, I probably cannot put the dual speaker center box up front so my question is how do your speakers sound if you just have 6x9’s in the back? I figure they should be more than adequate as I remember a buddy of mine had an old Toyota FJ with waterproof marine speakers just resting in the back corner’s and they had PLENTY of power to hear the music over the roar of the engine.
Second, do the rear speaker boxes really fit THAT well above the wheel well? From the reading I did (by searching) and the pictures I saw, they seemed to look alright but I was wondering if they stuck up above the body much?
Third, how hard is the install? Meaning, how difficult is it to run the wires under the carpets? That also goes for the stereo itself? Is it a pretty easy install?
Lastly, could anyone recommend some decent but somewhat moderately priced speakers? Ben (the one organizing the mass purchase) said that “some of the higher end models with the larger magnets and or larger surrounds do not fit”. That being said, I’d like to get some recommendations on speakers that some of you have in your EB’s.
Sorry for the mega question list but I know that if anyone can help, it’s all of you
