    Stock Speakers were Horrible on this Car.

    Removed all fours stock speakers & tweeters and Replaced with some 6.5" Polk Audio DB Series enclosed in a custom housing with dynomat to reduce any vibrations. Also removed the stock sub unit since it was blown and replaced with a 10" Pol Audio Sub w/ Box.





    Also had the harmonic balancer come apart... Seems like premature failure to me.



    Master Mechanic (Uncle) had a few spares. Got the car back up and running in less than an hour.
