Junkyarding, always a surprise

So I went to the junkyard with a buddy to get him a new window. Wasnt planning on finding anything for me. But I decided to search for some i30s and maximas. Maybe find something nice.

I did. I found a pair of Pioneer 180(peak watt) Speakers in an old completely stripped 300zx. They were the only thing left pretty much. Score!

Installed them when I got home. The highs and mids are really good and clear sounding, but the lows are lacking.

I wanna replace my rear speakers, any suggestions?

Back in my honda days I once waltzed into a junkyard, saw a beat up looking second gen integra, gutted inside, the front end was hit slightly so the hood was jammed shut, well I took a tire iron pried that sucker open and lo and behold it turns out the integra was a pretty rare first gen Gsr and had a complete motor. Was like christmas for me.

I installed the Alpine SPS-600C in the front, and the SPS-600 in the rear doors of my 6th gen. Haven't even amped them yet and they sound amazing! Nice clarity, impressive sound especially seeing that they're running off of HU power.
