The last time I posted about my ICE installation, it was when I had the old car. I think I left it at this stage...

Since then, I've replaced the sub box with a proper carpeted box and covered the MDF with carpet from my old car, heh. I've also found an alternate earth point, so that cable isn't running across like that anymore.
It alls looks pretty smart and I'm pleased with the performance of the sub, but something was lacking. The front speakers are Kenwood co-axials which were in when I bought the car.
They weren't doing too badly when I bought it, but a fair bit of abuse has found the speaker cone to have seperated itself from the rubber surround. This results in nice rattling and grinding noises when the bass hits at high volumes. Top end detail was great though. They aren't bad speakers.
Anyway, I'd been wanting some components for a while and had initially set myself up for some Infinity 6500CS's, which last time I checked were around £70.
Having a look around the Talk-Audio Forums the other week, I decided to check the classifieds and happened to come across some 605CS's for £45. Needless to say, I did a bit of searching, and after hearing good things about them, snapped them up.
I'll probably lose the sub for the time being and run them off the amp shown in the first picture. I'll either get another amp or replace that one with a 4 channel Genesis or something.
Just got to make some MDF mounting rings before I install them.
One question though, should I use dynamat/brown bread, and if so, where abouts in the doors should I put it?

Indeed it is.
