With the NB door cards, you can even use 1/2" if you spend another few minutes to trim the stuff out of the inside of the speaker grilles. they sit out pretty far from the metal.

I must say, for $7 I can't believe how good these speakers sound, it's unreal. I have a small rattle in the drivers door that I need to address but other than that I'm extremely happy.

Mine showed up today...super psyched. Actually ordered two sets, and revamping the setup in my wife's XTerra. Her CD player stopped working about two years ago and I never fixed it. She's getting a MP3/iPod/USB capable head, crossovers, JAMOs and decent tweeters, and something small that bumps in the back. She'll love it.
That's what you call a 5th anniversary gift koto.

any smartphone with a headphone jack can play pandora, can't it? I listen to streaming internet radio on my droid incredible sometimes. just need a simple stereo input.
I am curious about the Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X994...

time alignment and everyone's fave: adjustable color illumination.

It can use the Pandora app and put it right on the touchscreen for use.

I just bought an alpine CDA-105 for my wife's prelude.
Had to go to ebay for a dash kit, the one provided through crutchfield is a joke.

Beyond the fact that this are no support brackets to acutally bolt the radio to the frame of the dash, the cubby is stupid small and I keep reading it's too narrow and deep to put anything in else you'll lose it. The color doesnt match well at all.
bought this extra for a few bucks on ebay:

Pretty much replica of the stock cubby and with brackets for the radio.
I'm going to be loading all her music on a thumb drive for her and this will be her xmas gift. I was considering putting it in this weekend while she's travelling but I wont have the second dash kit by this weekend.

Will something like that physically fit into an NA? I've always had my radios in the upper half of the hole, so I can't say for certain, but it's always seemed to me that the lower half wouldn't accomodate anything very deep.
I am, of course, referring to something like this:

Found this while searching car audio DIY stuff, some of you may have seen this already. A bit extreme but I plan on doing this.

I actually have the originally specified $7 JAMO driver in my car now. I was actually driving home tonight thinking how nice they sounded even without any EQ.
I like them a lot.
This is a pretty close cousin if you want a dirt cheap 6.5 that will sound good in a miata:
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=299-908
cross them over between 3-4kHz to a tweet.

For $9 I'll buy 4 just for ***** and grins. Put em in my beaters.
For an ultra cheap setup, will they work passably without a lopass on em?
