2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Sedan

Equipment:

SSA XCON D1 10" Subwoofer powered by two Zed Minilith's strapped @ 2 ohm.
Mach 5 MLI 6.5" mids with LPG 25NFA tweeters powered by a Zed Draconia.
Pioneer 2300 DVD.
SDS products.

The Mach5s are crossed over from 60hz up to 2000hz. The LPGs are from 2000hz and up. I can not be more happy with how this pair sounds. They blend very well together.

This build is still a work in progress. I have everything except the Miniliths, which are on their way. I will continue to add pictures and updates as work is completed.

Some starting pictures.

The car:

Night and day. Well worth the work and cost of products. I will put my car up against anybodys on how quiet it is inside going down the road. The road noise was very bad and now it is non existent. Along audio lines I don't know. I installed the SDS products before I upgraded my stock speakers. But The bass response from the Mach 5s is amazing.
