Hey guys,

I installed 8" woofers in the front doors and no longer need my old speakers. There are Rockford Fosgate r1653. I ran them for about a year and they sounded great. The mids and highs were terrific but I wanted a little more bottom end and I didn't want to add a sub. The are in like new condition. I never beat on them and they still sound as good as they did when they were new. I have the box and speaker grills (never installed) in case someone wants to install them in another car. They also have an homemade adapter ring I made out of plywood if interested. I'd like to get $30 shipped for the pair.

Here are some pics:

These are great speakers at an awesome price! GLWS.

Does it come with the wires off the terminals or no?

No, sorry it only comes with what's pictured. Personally, I just added terminals to my own wiring in the car. I'm not sure where the wire went that came with the speakers, strangely it wasn't still in the box.

Hey rivs just a quick question. I am looking myself for 2 x 8'' for the front doors with a good bass on them but not subs just overall loud and good bass. What did you get? Any review on your new speakers? How do they sound?
Thanks.

Well, to be honest, I had been researching the 8-speaker setup ever since I found that they existed. I was never able to get the door panels, someone always seemed to buy them before me, or they were just way to expensive. I also couldn't find any good 3-way component setups that reviewed well. It's not a common size in mobile audio. So I did the next best thing. I had some Sony 2*8" home theater towers that I knew sounded great that were just lying around. So I salvaged the speakers from that, made my own cross-over (I'm an electrical engineering student) and mounted them in the car. I molded the tweeter covers into the blank mirror covers, and I modified the door panel to receive the 4" mid.

They sound amazing! The bass is perfect and having the tweeters and voices up top makes a HUGE difference. The bass sounds like a sub, its hits all the low notes down to about 20hz, it just isn't the chest hitting power you would get from a sub. I do have all the speakers amp'd(100 watt per channel), there is no way a deck could drive them very well.

A side note: if you do something similar be sure to tighten every bolt/screw/fastener in the doors. Otherwise it will rattle and buzz and generally kill the sound quality.
