As some of you may know - I have started on a stereo upgrade. I am going to detail in here as I get stuff toward it.

Head unit mount and new head unit installed:

Distribution block - one one part powers fuel pump - the other will power amp

Sub box and amp

Cool. I think kevin has the same box. Its amazing how much noise can come out of that little box.

Yeah - I'm impressed with Kev's - My goal is to be a little better than his

Looks like its coming along nicely. Keep it up.

Like the distribution block Aaron, you running the single sub off the amp and the factory speakers off the head unit?

The Sad · « **Reply #10 on:** August 29, 2010, 10:27:50 am »

Eventually (when I replace the speakers), everything will run off the amp.

I have a sub on the way, RCA wiring on the way.

Removed my 4 hatch speakers tonight.

Ran my remote turn on wire tonight.

Ran the RCA wires tonight.

Sub came today!

Fronts ordered today

Remember to isolate your power and ground for the amp from the preamp cables you ran

Are you going to put a rack on the rear hump for the amp? Concealing behind one of the rear panels, or kissing your T-top Tray goodbye

The Sad · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2010, 08:39:32 pm »

I ran the power down the passenger side, and the preamp cables down the side of the transmission tunnel - that the isolation you are looking for?

I plan to mount the amp and cap where the spare tire/bottle used to be. Can't get rid of my T-top holder, I may use it some day

Fronts have arrived today!

Waiting on some speaker wire to arrive and I think I am close to ready to install.

I'll purchase some mids for the sail panel speakers as money allows.

Got most of the rest of the speaker wire ran.

Fabricated adapters to install the front woofers.

Installed the passenger components

I have to get and install a new window motor tomorrow before I put the passenger door back together, then I'll start on the driver side speakers.

Fronts are installed!

Thanks to Hop for some advice!

Sub installed - and almost done with the rest. (need some connectors)

The Sad · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2010, 10:47:29 pm »

It's alive and booming!

So how does it sound ? .. I still think you need rear fills

How's the sub with "hatch effect"
