I figure I would start a build thread.
I've been collecting parts for a few months now, and got bored today.
So I ripped my door pannel off and replaced the speakers.
Im still in the process of finishing the doors.
Im using the factory enclosures and I will be running Hertz HSK 165 components.
mid bass is a 6.5" speaker

modifying the factory port, To make room for the larger driver.

For now I will probably just run one side of that amp, I will be running just the front stage off the amp and I am thinking about running the factory rear door speakers off the deck, switched, so I can shut them down when I want to turn it up.
but for everyday driving around listening to tunes, I think the deck will be enough for just a rear fill.
And for the deck, I will be putting in a Pioneer AVIC-150bh
For now, I will run the front stage with a passive crossover, Maybe in a few more months Ill get a Audison Bit so I can tune everything and run all 4 channels to the front Active.
It will be soon replaced with this.

As for the Hertz speakers. They seam hard to beat for the price. A lot of people seam to like them.
Just buy the speakers at a dealer. There are a lot of fakes out there.
For now I think the hsk165's will be fine for me. Later on down the road I will probably make custom door panels and go with the hertz 3 ways.
