Harmon Kardon Out, Eton & JL Audio in!

Car forums such as this one are awesome tools to mod cars the right way.

After researching 4 or 5 threads on both Speaker & Amp mods I decided to go the speaker route. The Match 7 amp looks great but for just over $400 I was able to purchase the Eton B100W's for the doors, the Eton B100 XCN center speaker and the JL Audio C2-400x's for the rear.

The Eton's are all drop in speakers (PNP). The JL's just need a washer to secure the 3rd screw.

I did the doors first and it took about 3 hrs taking my time. I added some Dynamat behind the midranges.

I ran out of time and will report on the center and rear speaker installs later this week.

The sound is drastically better. ~100hz to midrange is now much deeper with depth, and has great clarity. The tweeters also have much sharper sound. It now takes less volume to drive the speakers as well.

I can't believe how much this simple mod has transformed the sound in the cockpit. Looking forward to finishing up..

Best,
HAZMAT
