Going to scratch the logos totally. YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE THEM… I may add a HINT less blue to the “white”. In my dim garage it looked like a perfect match, but at the dead of night it’s a LITTLE off. Should be easy to fix, though… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC02.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC02.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC03.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC03.jpg) Also installed new speakers and an amp… The stock ones were 3.5"F and 5.25"R. I installed 5.25"F and 6.5"R. In order to fit the fronts I had to cut up the dash and machine some adapter rings out of aluminum, but they fit great and sound awesome… I might put grills over the rear speakers, not positive though… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC01.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC01.jpg) I didn’t even know until I hooked it up, but the amp lit up white and red. Cool I guess… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC04.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/AMPCC04.jpg) ---

Good move on the logo delete. ICE upgrade should work out nicely too. ---

How much power are you driving the speakers at? I am trying to get a feel for a good range for a 2 seater…sans t-top. Any suggestions for a 4 speaker setup w/o sub? How are the 5.25s and 6.5s…? ---

Sound pretty good. Need to set up my filters at the amp better. Amp is 4X100W RMS ---
