careful there with those paper speakers. they blow out with just a little bit more power than stock. they can handle a lot of mid/high treble a lot easier than some of the lower frequencies. jl makes a stock interface for factory stereo HUs. I never used one but saw them on their web site. or use inputs off the 6x9 wires, some amps have line inputs (you just run the back speaker wires to the amp for the signal) and you could run a 4 channel amp; 2 for the 6x9s, 2 bridged to the subwoofer.

that would allow you to save the stockers and tune the bass down on the eq. and maybe turn the amp gain up for the woofer to compensate. stock 6x9s sound pretty sweet with lots of power and the light weight paper cones on the 4x6s can put out some crisp mid/highs. with a good amp that has a crossover network can do a small sub and the rear speakers no problem.

The stockers are actually 2 way speakers (even the 4x6's). Each of them has their own seperate tweeter in addition to the woofer, which makes the high's much more defined. Especially when you get a decent amplifier behind them.
I'll have to dig out my pictures of the speakers with the felt covers cut away.

Did you figure out how to get the light brighter?

[Prospeeder]

nope, I thought some1 with a blue lumina over on wbody did it

I was thinking of doing this because I could still utilize the stock steering wheel controls...but I decided to save money and just leave it in my 99 GTP and put an extra aftermarket one in.

The steering wheel controls in the TGP or STE will not work with that style of radio. The radio that Prospeeder installed uses a newer databus for the steering wheel controls than the original TGP/STE controls use.

This stereo is in my pontiac 6000 now and the dimmer workes with it, you can adjust the dimmer with the dial.
