Well, as most of you know, my other vehicle is a 1977 Chevrolet Silverado, and it's currently got a worn out 1984 Delco 4ch tapedeck in the dash (twin shaft with digital tuner, and 4ch amp), and blown/partially blown 6x9's in the doors.
I have currently purchased a Ken Harrison KHE100B HU from Year One (twin shaft, OEM lookalike with 4ch amp, rca outputs, aux input for mp3/sat rad/cd players, digital tuner, etc), and I am going to replace my worn out Koss 6x9's that are in the doors with some PowerAcoustik 6x9's. Thing is, my friend has a 6.5" Self-powered SAS bazooka that would fit perfectly behind the passenger seat, and be fairly well hidden, that he wants to sell to me for $50. I am debating if I should buy that from him and hook it up for some added bass and run the door speakers off the deck, or if I should just wire up my other little PowerAcoustik amp that I have to the 6x9's, and power them off the amp instead of the deck.
When I first installed the Koss speakers in the doors, I hooked them upto a receiver from in the house for fun, which put 40watts/ch RMS @ 8ohms and 30amps into each one, and it was loud, and very bass-y for just 6x9's. I wonder if the tube would sound better with lower bass, or make it sound like I have a 2nd pair of 6x9's in the cab.
Either way, I'm only gonna run the Ken Harrison radio, door speakers, and new wiring for all of it, and the amp or tube would be the only add-on I'd use, as I want a small and cheap system for it (using it as my daily driver until summer, and putting the Stang to sleep).
What do you think?
