What about bass blockers? I was worried about too much bass though the little speakers so I installed 600Hz high pass filters. This might have been too high. I am now thinking about taking them off or getting 300Hz.

Check the frequency range of the speakers in the spec sheet. You'd want the high-pass somewhere above it's low frequency limit - probably in the 100-120hz area.

Fierosound,
I just bought an infinity koppa perfect 5.1. They are very similar to the ones you have installed, however, they can handle a little more power. I cut out the template you provided but I am having trouble fitting the speaker. The rubber trim around the speaker is hitting the Fiero speaker cover. It seems like the speaker needs to go down further to allow the speaker cover to fit properly. I also had to trim out the dash where the cut wood piece rests in order for the speaker to fit. Did you re-use the original speaker cover on your car? Did you have to trim the dash with your speakers? Does the original speaker cover fits flush with dashboard? Can you take some pictures of the installed front speakers? Thank you very much!

Look on page 1 of this thread for a picture of the installed plate. With the grill in place it looks stock, no point taking a picture of that. Of course some trimming is needed for clearance of the "basket" of the 5" midrange speaker where they overlap. Once your plate has the speaker hole cutout, it's easy enough to lay it in place and mark the area that needs trimming. Did you not do this?

I did, I trimmed the dashboard like you are showing above in order for the speaker to go all the way down; however, the plastic cover (original piece that covers the speaker) does not go down enough. Is this plastic cover what you call the "basket"? I have not trim the cover at all. I am sorry for the question, but as you can tell I am new at this and I am not too familiar with the part name. Thank you for your reply!

The basket is what holds the magnet on the speaker. The cover is the grill and does not need to be trimmed.
Did you check to see that the "legs" of the grill fit through their openings on the speaker plate? It sounds like one of them is hanging up if you didn't cut the plate properly. Hold the plate in your hand see if the grill's legs fit through (locations marked X)

Here we're working with an existing enclosure. This Tang Band subwoofer speaker's specs call for a SEALED enclosure volume of .19 cu/ft. The Fiero sub-housing is just under at about .16 cu/ft which is why we stuff polyfill into the enclosure. It works very well. The bass is tight and crisp, but obviously not a low as it would be possible with a 10" or 12" speaker. There's compromises to be sure, but this exercise is to get more with what you have. For MORE bass, you'd need to build behind-the-seat or trunk-mounted subs.

Do you think adding bass shakers under the seats will improve the bass. What is your take on bass shakers?
Great write-up BTW!![This message has been edited by 3.8 SC (edited 11-30-2007).]
