Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, I have the 490 hi-fi option and am looking to use the following speakers. Let me know what you think: door subs Kicker CVT651 or Subs and amp Front speakers Polk Audio db401 Rear Speaker Polk Audio db351 Thanks in advance for the constructive comments. Tony

POST 2Original post

I have the 401's in my dash and was very pleased with the improvement in sound. My original speakers were shot. I purchased the speakers from Crutchfield....think I paid about $40 with free shipping.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just got the subs, and decided to go with this amp: JVC Amp At $149.99, it was half the price that Crutchfield had it at. I hope it sounds as good as it looks. Tony

POST 4Original post

FYI if you want more bottom the factory 987 footwell bose sub fits nicely In a 986. I have one running on a separate small amp. Sounds great. Like this. eBay# 271257049955

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does it take up footwell space? what does it look like installed?

POST 6Original post

It just rests next the center console on the pass anger side. It takes up minimal space.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to try the kickers in the doors to see how that works. Thanks.
