ecipse makes a high end component set called point source that mount in the
doors the trick is to wedge the bottom to aim the speakers up a few
degrees..i think i paid 250 to 300 for the pair.also i have a set of diamond
audio mids and highs these were 600 for a pair of tweeters and 6 1/2 mid
drivers.these are the best money can buy..for the money i found the eclipse
offers incredible sound quality.also you need an good amp for your mids and
highs and a good amp for your sub or subs..go ahead and buy a little at a
time then install the whole package.i still have not installed my new
gear.spend a little more now and save replacement and downtime on youir
truck in the long run..i dont know alot on engines except my r/t
supercharged hauls ass.anything about stereo i can answer..no problems hit
me up anytime.dml or slpndragon@hotmail.com
