Let's just say that we had a little conversation, and I am very happy with the speakers that I now have .

Green/white...but test it. If it doesn't work, use accessory (red) wire at the ignition.

I was wondering if the Bose amp under the rear deck had a switched power lead that I could tap in to. If so, what is the color of the wire?

i think it was like 2.6 cuft, but the vent isn't tuned right, its not the right lengths, we're suppose to be building a box for it within the next month, oh i got a new cd player too, i decided there was no need for a $600 cd player that you were paying for bluetooth and graphics, so i went with a $230 alpine, and i plan on getting an equalizer so i can control the sound more, even though right now it sounds phenominal.....well except for the left rear
6x9 that we blew lol, stupid audiobahn, found some jbl 6x9's that sounded amazing, it was between them or some boston acoustics, BA was too edgy and high tuned, the jbl sounded richer to me

BA > JBL

only prob is that BA's are pretty power hungry. they don't really shine until you give them decent amount of power.

well they showed the jbl's could handle more power, now i'm not saying the boston's weren't better, just saying the sound was too high for my tastes, like they hurt my ears ya know?? the jbl's were more soft and and mellow, like they were more for mids and little highs, the bostons would have done good for front stage they had so much highs, lol
