The speaker holes (thats what they look like to me) in the front footwells, what size speaker?... looks like a good place for some treble and mid to come from.. very tidy too.

I would have thought that's probably the
not the best place for said frequencies.

...PARDON?
Anyway, back to the question. I think they are 6x4 or something like that.

you know when you get the resonant frquency of a glass, and it starts to warp and flex... I want to do that to vauxhall corsas

they are 6x4s! same goes for the slots on the C pillars.
i have this weird temptation to get a 4 channel amp and add a set of 6x4 to mine

2400W peak power, but real power is far far away from promises. With 2x20A fuses it can make only ~290W (RMS)@14.4Volts. Amps common(AB-class) efficiency is around 50%.
Thats why i dont use cheap and unknown brands.

I was going to make the exact same point about fuse ratings! That was the first thing i checked

As with the others it wont make it.
for 2KW plus, look for a powerbass amplifier, and old solid audio F25000D Oriion make some good 5KW ones. etc.
Plye etc = shit.

fair enough,
cars gone now.. the next one will get tasteful audio and removable stuff, no cutting I promise.
The old one was really knackered inside, outside and was beginning to rot..
