Great thread, I just bought a set of new D343 off ebay for $70 shipped.

 

Dang I have an extra set to sell.

 

Gio,

$70 is a good deal. These speakers are a great value. Let us know what you think of them.

 

I finally added a sub. I went with a small JL Audio 8" and boy does it sound wonderful! I'm extremely impressed with its kick and power. I also bought a B-Stock JBL GTO5335 5 Channel Amp to power all the speakers which really added that extra level of detail and umpf I have been searching for.

I built the sub box so it would fit perfectly in the spare tire well. I also used a router to grind down the wood so the slider thing would slide over it to create a nice and tight fit. As you can tell I made the box high enough so it would fit under the two lips which add even more stability. I followed the instructions and JL recommended the box to be about .35 cubic feet (sealed) so thats what I went with. The box took me a about a day to get all the dimensions just right but it was well worth it. If I ever sell the car im definitely keeping this box. I'm extremely impressed with myself on this one! haha





PS:I still have to mount the amp and clean up the wire install but all in im prett much done. Next upgrade will be new carpet.

 

Wow nice job. I really expected to see a hack job... Very nice and thought out.

 

I've got an extra set new in the box someone make me an offer
