My Car and Audio Components Installed


1990 Celica All Trac Turbo

Sony ES XK-R100 Head Unit (cassette tuner w/4v preout, laseramorphous head)
Sony ES CDX-805 ESP 10 CD Changer (never skips)
MTX Thunder 4320 Amp 40x4 (certificate reads: 67 watts)
MB Quart QM100.03KX in front. (4" Co-ax mounted as seperates)
MB Quart QM160.03KX rear. (6.5" co-ax)
MBQ MusiComp Crossovers front/rear
8" Amplified Bazooka Bass Tube in Hatch trunk. (very good, impressive)

Crank it up and the thing rocks!
Unfortunately it turns out my car does not have great accoustics
and it's quite noisy when driving especially on the highway. In spite
of that the system sounds very good. Im supposed to have installed an MTX 4320 and MusiComp crossovers for the speakers to cut out irritating, harsh, highs.

The musicomp crossovers and MTX 4320 were installed.
Now the irritating highs have been
dampened. The highs come thru as cleaner and subdued. While the
system sounds good, I may go with a/d/s or some other speakers in future cars.

Ok. After months spent listening to many CD's, tapes etc I have to
say that I am overall very happy with the system!
I realized how good it sounds after listening to other high end systems
in other cars. One system had a/d/s speakers and it did not reproduce
the mids and highs that I have grown accustomed to hearing with such
warmth, fullness, and clarity in my system. Of course its also the combo of amp, head
unit along with the speakers that makes the sound. Thats a factor but still.
In the future Ill probably stick with MBQ for the type of music I listen to.

Here's another 1990 Celica install.
