Hi Ron! Thanks for the response.
1.) I haven't looked with a meter, but I've had the amp installed for over half a year now, and I've had no problems at all with a drained battery.
2.) I thought about putting the tweeters higher, but decided against it for a couple of reasons. One reason is that I wanted to keep the sound in the front and rear at about the same height. Secondly (and more importantly,) installing the tweeters up there would have been a LOT more difficult. I'd have to remote ALL of the windscreen trim and run lots more wire.
As it is, you really don't notice the tweeters if you aren't looking for them. They are a very flat black, and there is no visible logo on them. From outside the car you can't even see the little mini-grills.
3.) This car has a breakerless ignition, so no points. (Though I do know that it's still not good to leave the key "ON" while the car isn't running, even with a breakerless ignition.) The main power of the head unit is hooked up straight to the battery (connected over by the fuse box.) The only part of the head unit that's hooked into the ignition switch is the "Ignition power" lead from the radio which is a very low draw. (Modern head units have an "always on" connection in order to remember radio presets and other things, and that's where they draw their power from too.)
4.) The woofers stick out a fair amount, but it's really not that bad! I have no trouble accessing the clutch or the floor stomper high beam switch. Someday though, I think I might try to actually cut a hole out in the side panel and sink the speakers in for a flush mount. (There's plenty of room behind that panel in the fender.) It would require a bit of creative welding, but I think it's something that could be done.
In an effort to keep things low-profile, I have removed the "Boston" logos from all the speakers. It was an easy task, as Boston just uses a sticker that easily comes off.
Thanks for the feedback Ron!
