"How to Have Excellent Audio With Original Appearance"

Speaker placement was the obvious challenge but, as planned earlier, we found that the Cadence two-ways fit very well in the kick-panels. A wooden backing was added to provide the necessary support, and Bruce was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tiger has a fairly well-enclosed chamber of almost optimum size located behind the panels. All he did was to line these areas with the thin acoustic insulation material and everything worked out very well. Considering the sub-optimum placement (down by the feet), a key consideration in the choice of these speakers was the angle-adjustable titanium tweeters. This feature allowed us to direct the sound outwards towards the driver and passenger, resulting in truly excellent sound in less than optimum conditions.


Speaker Covered and "Special Amp" for really "jolting" music located. (8-)


Speaker exposed, ("Jolter" dismounted)

Sticking to the plan of causing no additional permanent modification to the car, these speakers were placed in the existing speaker holes in the kick-panels. This way, no additional holes were added to the interior, and everything could be returned to stock with the use of reproduction kick panels
