audio re-install.....56K 10 beer wait..32 pics
So i have spending the past 6 days totally gutting my previous install and redoing the thing.........pics are pleantyfull
the parts that i have taken out of the car...
took the RCAs out and the speaker wire out of the car
the spagetti under the dash
moved my capacitor to the drivers side corner of the trunk....the cutout was a perfect side
and its attached through the carpet with bolts and washers
here are the brackets that my dad and i made to attach the amps tho the trunk lid
put one layer of peel and seal on the trunk before the brackets went on
one bracket attached
both brackets
and we used the frame of the trunk to make the other mounting points
right side
left side
the trunklid insulator is now in with all the cutouts for the mounting points for the amps
i ran the wires through existing holes in the insulator
I have the both distro blocks mounted and the wires all hidden for them
one amp molunted with out cover on it, not wired up yet
both amps up there, unwired
Both amps mounted wired and finished product
BUT you would think that i was done......wrong....
making speaker baffles for the front doors
with the speakers
i made an adapter ring for the speaker since the mounting holes didnt match the door panel
I had to cut the door so the speaker and the Baffel would fit
speaker, tweeter and crossover installed
Still not done....
Peel and Seal time...
2 layers, yes 2 layers on each door
and some on the door panels too
there all done.....whadda ya think??

the amps have a unique cooling design that allows them to be mounted in any orientation......

I want to hear and SEE that install. Very nice
I hope you have that thing drive ably by mid next week. I want to see if that peal and seal makes a difference.
