986 Bose rear deck enclosure questions

[Homeboy981]

I opted to replaced the deck speakers with 3-way 150w low-profile speakers and placed them on the topside of the storage compartment. They do not take up and storage space but when the top is down I have to open the storage box to hear them, the bass comes through great and it adds better "spatulization" (spreading the sound).

I ran those off my head unit (JVC-NT3HDTKW or something like that from ebay for $400). Or you could power them with another amp. They are plenty LOUD just off the head unit because they are ear level - so you don't want them to blow the other sounds out!

I also have made a wind deflector that is halfsize so you can hear the sound AND it still reduces wind noise. See my garage for all the details and photos. Pretty easy and cheap upgrades to make the car more updated.

TIP: Do NOT try to use factory wiring harness….that will save you a day on debugging the hiss from poor ground and insufficient wire gauge problems. GOOD LUCK!
