I like it because it looks original but performs better. Will the Performance Sound still work if I just replace the Head Unit with one out of a Newer Pontiac. I just want a CD Player right now, I will do what you did when I have the money and drive to tackle the job.

If you have the full performance sound system, I believe all you need to do for it to work with a new headunit is add a relay in to power the amplifier. The stock amplifier is already wired into the speaker harness, so its easy to swap the headunit.

While you are at it, you might as well add some sound deadening material.

That will be included eventually, when I redo more of the interior I'll have sound deadening under the carpet and behind the seats. Planning on doing the headliner next.

Here they are:
Gave em a quick test, these are quite nice. Once I have them hard installed I'll get a better idea of how much power they produce.

Hey Xanth,
Looks good, I have a couple of these in my Fiero, where are you planning on installing the bass transducers?

I was thinking directly under each seat, though these are a bit taller than I expected. I would love to install them on the seat backs, but I don't see being able to install them there without chopping up the seat.

Good thinking, At first I had them on the firewall just behind the lower section of the seat back - It didn't do much.
Then I've relocated them to the metal part of the seat back (same lower back area) - It works MUCH better 
No chopping needed but it leaves a "bump" in the rear seat cover (no one sees it anyway.
I would be curious to know what it would do below the seat but I would recommend installing then like I did. We usually "feel" bass in our chest and that's as close as you can get to that feeling.
One more thing, consider installing a push switch under the passenger seat that makes it work ONLY when someone seats on it, in my Fiero the passenger seat rattles a bit when I blast it, and no one is there to absorb it LOL.
I admit the seat vibrating does create a bit more bass effect, but might get annoying.[This message has been edited by Mister (edited 04-29-2008).]
