Kevin Mendoza's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS

by Crutchfield's Matt Holliday

Items installed:

Dual cd player
Two Crunch 1000w amps on top of speaker box
Two 12 inch 1000w Audiobahn subs aw120t in trunk
Two 5 1/4 inch Kicker midranges in back side panels

Installation Description

Everything was custom set up by my dad and myself. It took a week to cut and hide all the wires and fine tune the sound and looks. Cars aren't just made to run!!!

Q&A Section

Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
I don't like stock systems, I want to be in the music.

What's the first thing you show people about your installation?
My speaker box and amp switch.

Why did you choose these products?
I love the Audiobahn Flame series but I don't have a box big enough to show them off yet. Everything else was conveniently priced at the time I had cash.

What was the most difficult part of the installation?
Running the wires!

What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?
Upgrade the speakers to 6 1/2's.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening Kit

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
