It was my choice, definitely. But I doubt any lighter car speakers come close, even today.
I went to a specialist audio shop and they quickly lost interest in me when I said I needed speakers for a 10 year old Civic. Take the cheapest Pioneers or leave. They are good enough.
Well sorry but I’m used to my high end home stereo with an X amp and Y speakers, etc, I was not really into buying that there for my car.
Eyebrows to the ceiling. Sir! Please come upstairs, we’ll show you the real stuff....
You can buy complete sets for one of those speakers. And I bet you they were pretty damn linear all the way down to 20 Hz. Three wishes from Roger Waters made my belly nervous, even at moderate volume. No need for subwoofers...
The audio foam was what really finished it off. And it gave the doors a Maybach like thud. Closing them turned heads, as it sounded that unusual!
