In the USA, it's a Torx-50.

Must be that pesky Canadian exchange rate.

That's the beauty of my planar-magnetic speakers, they rely on an electrostatic design and are pure resistance. No impedance means that the Hafler amps dampening factor of >200 isn't needed! They are 6-ohm, purely resistive.
You can see why the 6-ohms combined with 84db sensitivity requires a few thousand watts to wake them up.
Gotta' love them MOSFET output transistors and 140Vdc power supply rails!



Here's the theory and design info:

I know for a fact that they only come in the lighter Taupe color and will not match the dark GT interior.

The 2002 sub should plug in, since the 2003 radio seems to have the same connector.

Fox Audio in Dorchester is doing my Cruiser next
Photos to follow.

He does excellent work..
I may add an amp but it draws 4,000 watts
and would require another couple of batteries

Don't forget the ALTERNATOR too!!

You may want to ask your dentist to glue down any filling you may have, and think about a rider on your insurance for GLASS REPLACEMENT!!
