Since Andy had my C5 again, he was asking what speakers I had stuffed into my doors. So, I thought I'd share...
This install is over 11 years old. Tweeter: Dynaudio D28 1" soft dome Midrange: Dynaudio MD140 3" soft dome Mid-Bass: 6.5" Scan Speak 18W/8535-00 (these paper cone drivers have since been replaced with some polypropylene Scan Speak drivers) Those aren't my door panels, just some cheapie salvage ones I had bought for mocking up my install.    |

But how does it sound?
 What amp / head unit / etc combo are you running? |

Like Andy said, I'm currently using a Kenwood HU for interfacing to my Zune; it's not the greatest, but sounds decent. This is the McIntosh MX406 HU I used to run, along with an Audiobahn 1/2 DIN Parametric EQ which I am still using. I'm thinking of putting this setup back in one day....   Oh, and the amplifier.... McIntosh MC4000M 4 X 100W plus 2 X 400W   These JL Audio 8W7's are now sitting in Andy's office. But they used to sound pretty good in my C5...  I guess I should change the thread title now since it's gone past my door speakers... |

Wow...most people won't know what McIntosh is...but I do
I think the head unit would look good in a C4 or C3, I think it's too retro for the C5. |

Here's the current HU
Kenwood KIV-BT901 It's a "Digital Media Receiver" ...meaning it doesn't play CDs.  Andy, by the way, I think it's time I retire the Zune to my office drawer and for bike rides. I finally loaded a 128Gb thumb drive with music. I just discovered I actually like the user interface (UI) for USB media better than the UI Kenwood put together for controlling the Zune. |

I'd like to find something nicer than what I have, but need to be cautious. My Kenwood plays every file I throw at it (via USB). The Kenwood in Virgil's F350 plays some, but gives a lot of "unsupported file" errors. Likewise with the Alpine in his black car.

thanks, yeah I see it now.. now I have to ask:
What model is it and what was done to make it fit the way he did, (what was modded) I am installing the preamp I have, but I might end up with an EQ, but getting it to fit is a challenge, need to decide how much I can modify on one |

It is an Audiobahn AEQ8. I did not modify it per se. But, I did custom fabricate the head unit mount to also serve as the faceplate of the preamp which I removed. |
