Post 02 Trans am System Install [Pic's]

Well this is my system install. I'm highly active in this section of Ls1tech, and i would like to show you guys my install. You might recognize it from the Adriangarcia404 post done a few months ago. I'm the same person. But there has been a few modifications since then. And i finally finished the audio project!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Hope this helps people out
which are looking for a nice clean system. (i believe its clean.)
hopefully it becomes a sticky

Thanks for One and only
Ws6kid.!

My system consist of
Alpine Type r's 6.5

In my front door's and rear seat speakers.

Alpine type r sub 10' with sub thumps stealth box.

Great sub great low's
As you can see i also have a amp rack Thanks to kee audio!

Since my last post i blew out my DB drive series amp
and i replaced it with a infinity amp.
and i added a capacitor

Also have my IDX-305 head unit wrapped the HU mount.

Another view



These are pictures i took when i was installing my RCA cables.
Which are rockford fosgate





The whole Install took me a whole saturday to finish and this is the Final product




Great system.
It was my first install. i learned so much from it!.
Great experience.

Hope this helps out people looking for installs to grab ideas from.

Widely open to questions of any short!
also tell me how much you like my set up.
Thanks.

take out HUmount and run a piece of electrical tape over the top where the 2 pieces meet to prevent bleed through

Good fix for a while. Degrease and paint with black plastic paint except for the part where the leds shine through. Looks a lot better!

Good job OP

no disrespect for sure your s%$s tight!
But Im good where I can do a nice install with just removing the plastics and lifting up the corner of the carpet... but sence you never run wires in bettween the seats anyhow i leave em in. All tho when i restored my old ta i ran them before the int was in and it was 20times easier.
you got a nice set up tho! Its nice to see ppl going the extra mile then doing not enough.

wish i had pics of my set up,, i built it and installed it before i put it away for the winter and cant get to it for a pic.
Its a type R also with a inverted set up with a 12" in the lower truck hole, its got a covered vinyl faceplate to block off seeing the mdf box...no ttops to store so i went that route.

You guys both have a very nice setup. I just installed a stealth box I got from Ian at Kee, and I just have to finish installing the rack as well. Differences with mine are a cheap amp to mount and a Kicker C12 sub. I like the setup. And I still get to store the t-tops too. I can't wait to be finished with it all.
