And so it came to pass, on 22-07-96 19:57,
   that Greg Cobb spake unto Matt Ion:
 GC> Heh!  I'd hang onto those if I were you.  The closest thing I've
 GC> seen that were close to those were the Cerwin-Vegas I have. 
 GC> Altec-lansing makes some extremely clean speakers, but they just

The way I had to install them, they're decent, but don't particularly kick 
ass to the point that would lead me to such a glowing testimonial.  I'll have 
to trust that I'll understand your enthusiasm more should I ever get them 
into a proper installation :)
 GC> And I'm familiar with the Hondas.  I've had customers come in and
 GC> want 6x9s put in the place of the OEM speakers!
Good grief, that's some SERIOUS shoe-horning.
Did I mention that my T-60s are covered by the Accord's *factory grilles*? =)
Put simply, I wound up building up the forward side of the ring structures 
with two layers of 3/8" foam weatherstrip (that stick-on stuff that you can 
get in rolls at any car-accessories place), then mounting them from below.  
The tweeters I'm running with them (2" cones from an old set of cheapie 
Realistic home speakers -- what the hey, they sound real smoooooooth!) were 
mounted on top of the factory mount's main component (where the OEM drivers 
would normally mount), the grille then screwed on normally from below, and 
the whole assembly fastened to the deck normally.  The woofers were then 
slung with 3" drywall screws from below as well.  It's ugly, but it does the 
trick!
Now, if I could just figure out a way to put these Quart 2016s in those 
factory mounts instead... muahahaha.
IKEA ... Swedish for "particle board."
