Thread will be closed until my initial posts are completed.
Scope:
Due to many requests and high demand for system design in this car and the MX-5, I've decided to get a thread on a proper audio build going. The purpose of this thread is to take you along my process for designing, tuning, and installing a mobile audio system in the 124 Spider, with consideration for constraints and specific goals. This thread will provide recommendations for equipment but is ultimately intended to give you the information you need to design your own mobile audio system. Since some of the components I'll be using may be discontinued by the time you are reading this, the focus will be more on the "why" as opposed to the "what." That being said, I will publish my tune specifications for the components I'm using as well as making recommendations for currently available components. I expect that most people will follow my component recommendations to guarantee the same results I achieved.
This thread does not assume that the components I am using are the best on the market or that you couldn't achieve better results with better equipment. The focus will be on bang for the buck within a reasonable price point consistent with the price point this car sold for, but without sacrificing key quality requirements.
Before we continue into technical audio discussions, it will be greatly beneficial for you to have a fundamental understanding of acoustics. For this, I have four articles written on my website to give you a crash course: http://xtremerevolution.net/category/home-car-audio/audio-101/
