[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2939580, member: 15054"] The center speaker in the dash of the 57 is rotted to dust. I have 1 optimus boxed speaker by the left foot kick panel and a kenwood 6x9 on the other side. In the dash glove box is an old school Alpine with the square buttons that are green when lit up. I have to kick the optimus sometimes. I have an old PB600 amp that I think 1 or 2 outputs work out of 4 now. I got it in 1986 75wats RMS per speaker at .05% THD bridge it and 200 watts rms It drives 10" and smaller very well. Amps are cheap today though ..probably get a Kicker or use the one in my 47. I like a lot of 6x9 speakers and some 10's for bass. Thing is with most of todays speakers the 6x9 or other car speaker that is a 2 or 3 way will have the tweater or mid attached through the middle of the voice coil. Did you understand that the center voice coil is the mounting point. I have not got more than 3 years from a speaker like that ..It will fail.. Dirt or dust gets into that voice coil area and sands the coil wires and then No sound.. it is dead. Yes I drive with my windows down and drive dirty roads..I only have 2-60 or 4-60 AC in my car. I need a sealed woofer. Like the old dualcone stuff or 3 way that suspended the mid and tweters on the framework. I used to run separate piezo tweeters. I may still have some.. they are cheap enough though. [/QUOTE]
