Speaker seats
« on: December 14, 2012, 10:16:47 am »
1. Has anyone had the luxury of having speakers seats (working) and non-speaker seats in their Fieros?

2. Did you have the 'Premium Sound System' (subwoofer)?

3. Does anyone have a picture of the wiring harness for them (NOT the schematic)?

4. Are the speaker seats worth the trouble?
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

We have non speaker seats in The Little Black Car but they don't sound real good. ;D

I've had 85's with speaker seats, an 87 without speaker seats but with B pillar speakers, then I installed speaker seats and wired them into the B pillar harness.  Each system has its own sound qualities.  I like the current 8-speaker system I have with the speaker seats and B pillar speakers. 

With just speaker seats, there's reasonable separation coming from the seats.  When wired into the B pillar speakers, you lose some of the ambience from the seats, but the overall separation is still good.  I like to use The Beatles Sgt. Peppers album as a test because it has great stereo separation.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I have a stereo surroundsound test CD if you want to test whatever you put in.  Not as much fun to sing along to as Sgt Pepper, though...

I have a set of speaker seats in my storage building here at my house. They are grey seats and still working.

Thank you for the offers everyone but I guess I wasn't clear on my request.

I was looking for opinions from folks that had owned or heard the overall sound from speaker seats and could compare it to non-speaker seats.
