Default System is almost done...

Hi Guys... After the fun I had with the Rockford Component speakers in the back shorting to the body of the car finally got almost evertything done... Here are some picks.. what you dont see if all the dynmat from the back of the hatch to front of the rear seats and the doors..

Head unit is an Alpine CDA-9855 kinda of an oldie will replace with a double din at some point... Amps are a Rockford T400-4 for the fronts and rears, sub amp is a P3-100. Sub is a Phase 3 12 4 DVC and the front and rears are P1652-S component speakers... the tweeters almost fit in the front pods.. trimed it out with some matching leather samples from my Home Theater business that I had for some HT seating.

Let me know what you guys think...

Tweeter installs look really good.

Thanks guys.

Have not tried the tops yet, but pretty sure they will. Debating swapping out the woofer for a shallow mount or a smaller woofer all together, the box may be a bit small. The box is one of KEE fiberglass boxes and it's really a nice fit in the car and knew going in it might not have the volume for that woofer.

Install looks real clean man. I agree with you tho and I would consider switching the sub out to a shallow mount Rockford P3. It really is a great sub.

Navy01Z... Beacon Falls.. I know where that is.. Grew up in Waterbury and used to have a friend in BF.. cant remember his name though.

Think I am going to swap.. I own a Home Theather company and can get Fosgate from one of my Distributors so doing it at cost makes it easier to get past the wife and can sell the P3 12 and the P3 10 I have hanging around...
