Cool thanks guys..!! I will keep looking..

Just an update... finially got enough reading to start taking things apart, and especially after going to autosaloon.. very inspired.. Note I was not there to check out rice but the audios side of things.

After pulling seemling endless layers of carpet and partically taking the rain tray...With my head bent in very awkard postion... looked up under the dash and saw LIGHT shining throught a little gap. Felt like a prisoner excervating they way out of prison and seeing light for the first time .. .hahah

Don't hook up to many ground wires at the same point, for some reason its not good.

Let us know how you go.

OK now it's finially finished, thanks all for your input could not have done it with out yous. Special thank you to rayray for polish my battery and grounding my amp, thats -3 hours work for me at least.

Took me 3 days taking it slowly, going easy on my back, thinking the best route and fishing out wires and attempting neatist job. Pretty satisfied, only managed to have a little cut on finger ( my way of rating project satisfaction)

Still waiting for the rear speakers, but I talked myself in changing those OEM tweeters, THEY just rune the set up, so I convinced myself to replace them with 4' in the hole, matching the rest. As for the Rockford amp, I am very happy. First test run flawless in every way, I was expecting no power here and there as for sound, my body melts.

Next audio project, custom fibre glass sub box and definately Dynamat. Enjoy.




All speaker wire running thought center console and power cable left side trim... I know ..... I even labels all wires


Took me almost 2 hrs threading each door, as you see.... think and think and think before drilling luck to not have any adverse effect.

2 More questions

A. went for a good test drive yesterday, notices the speakers at low volume has a whining noise, the power cable is already running isolated on left trim, only time then the wires are touching is at the coner of the seat going up the Amp.

B. Any one know how I can take out the vent, the speaker is touching on the a/c Buzzing the piping, . I may need to drill a hole/ indent the pipe.

The buzzing noise comes for the alternator. You will need a signal filter to filter out that static. Should have come with your head unit. There about 30$ from strafield if i remember corectly.

You may need to indent it. To do it on mine, I just closed the vent (with vent out of the car) and hit it with the heat gun till it was soft, then i carefully pressed in indentation into the tube and let it cool. The vent should still open and close if you have done ok.

Nice install, but i dont remember having to run my speaker wire through the doors, probly couse i cheated!

A signal filter hey.. So which part of the car would that go onto ?

The thing is how do I take the vent out ?? I see the screw inside, is there only one screw ?
