Talking Woohoo!!! Tints and rear speakers installed!!

I'm so freakin' happy!!! I took my car in to get my window tinted. It looks so freakin' good even though it has been raining for the past two days.

Also, I just installed a pair of Boston Acoustics FX93 6x9's in the rear. They sound awesome...and for the price ($20 on eBay), made my purchase even sweeter!!! I'll post some pics of the tints in a few minutes.

Alright...Here're the pics:

The speaker:

The magnets are HUGE compared to the stock speaker's magnet. It's insane!!

And here're the tint pics:









Yeah...the car is a little dirty. Like I said, it has been raining. The bad thing about getting my tints installed yesterday is that the lady told me that I can't roll down the windows until after 3 to 5 SUNNY days so that the tints can cure. It sucks!!!

you're right, the magnets are huge but you know what? those can be a lot louder if you have a small amp to push it. its lacking the powerful output without an amp. so if you're impressed now, wait until you get an amp for it! I'm not sure about that model but is that 6x9 a 2-way? meaning is there a small little speaker/tweeter in the center of that 6x9?? if so, you are definately underpowering it

oh yeah nice tint! what percent tint did you get? do you know? 35%?

Thanks!! It's actually a 3-way speaker. I don't really care about underpowering them. They sound 100% better, especially the mids and highs. The bass has also improved. I love it!!

The tint is 35%. I want to stay legal since I want the warranty. The tint is made by FormulaOne. Looks great!!

Thanks!! Actually, the car is at its dirtiest right now because of all the rain. Look it up in the photo gallery for the thread I posted a little while ago for MUCH much cleaner pics.
