Enjoyed the post so much, have just completed my ST TNG with, I reckon, huge improvement.

Followed Joele, and the link for the how too. Excellent site.

I used different speakers, similar spec, less cost, maybe as good as sound. By purchasing in bulk, saved a heap , and enough to do my IJ after I decal!

4 pack of 4 ohm car speakers - perfect replacement size, didn't have to adjust holes at all on the one side. No need for a mounting block

2 pack of subs, once again perfect replacement size, same holes, no changes, no need for a mounting block.

Being a Williams DCS game did not need a cross-over for the sub.

L-pad being the only thing I needed from Parts Express, their postage cost was going to kill me. So purchased a more expensive one from Jaycar, but still came out ahead.

Total cost $130.29 for the speakers including postage and $45.90 for two l-pad from jaycar.
So each machine was $88.01

Wire up exactly as per diagram from link - sounds massively different. Bass even vibrates the floor  %.%
Already had speaker wire, not as pretty as the coloured stuff but used a permanent pen to highlight the colours.

Thanks again for the original post #*#
