New tower speaker/enclosure install complete....

[RobertT]

Well, its not ideal, but....

I bought a carpeted enclosure for almost nothing at walmart, because it fit PERFECT in the observers seat area. It was almost scary, it was like it was made for it. My friend has a few high end Polk subs. I got a 400watt amp to drive the stock sub and the second sub. That left me with the stock 4 channel amp to drive the tower speakers and the cockpit speakers.

I put the cockpit speakers on the rear, and the tower speakers on the front channel of the amp.

With these new tower speakers, I may be better off using the amp for the tower speakers only, and driving the cockpit speakers with the head unit.

Don't know, still playing with it. I don't know much about this stuff, and didn't know anything about it until a few months ago.

Its a fun project, and also allows me to learn quite a bit.

The sound is currently fantastic. It is so loud at 3/4 volume that it hurts to be in the area. I could not EVER imagine cranking it up past that volume to listen to music. No distortion either at that level.

The only problem that I have is that one or two of the cockpit speakers gets a loud POP when you have it cranked up, and a loud note hits. I will try to adjust the gain down on the cockpit speakers to get rid of that.

How heavy does your speakers make the tower, meaning is it still a one man job when you put up/take down?
