Back on top...

The logo left balck marks/stains on my vinly when I removed them. The Babbs I used are 5 1/4" speakers, so not big enough to fit as is. I made spacers from 1/2" acrylic the same OD as the logo lights to cover the stains, and then counterbored the spacers 1/4" deep to recess the speakers into the spacers for a cleaner edge look. The black look was achieved by simply applying black vinyl I got from a sign shop and stuck it to the back side. Gives it a real high gloss black look with no chance to scratch it off too. I was going to put some LEDs around the inside of the spacer behind the speaker to light up the clear/black spacer, but never got around to it.

never tried. They were just in the way of my view. (for mainly the passengers in the rear seat) I had 8 5's running of the Tuner. now only 6, 2 in the cabin and 4 in the cockpit.I think I would have had to rewire then put 6 5's on the rear anr 2 on the front or something. Was easier to just get rid of them all together. Nice and clean up front under the winshield now. I put down the black antglare. It looks way better (i think anyway)

The best set up I had was 4 JL Marine 10's under the bench.

4 7.7's in the sides.
