Okay, to start some of these pictures were taken from my blackberry, so the quality isn't as high as the others.



First off, this is what happens after 20+ years. lol











This is the panel that the factory front right amp + speaker sat in, because there is no mount for a speaker i had to make a mounting plate.



i took off the metal bar bracket in order to make room for my plate, its actually the bottom half of a fireworks tube i had from the fourth... but it works. It's secured by milliput, when this stuff dries it is rock hard.











Cut to conform to the speaker hole







the foam was cut here after i took the picture, but it works for mounting the 4''







front pic







it doesnt look centered here, but it is.





Now to the rears,

The stock grills did not clear the new speakers, so i drilled out the plastic rivets holding the stock grills in and replaced them with these alpine ones.

After







it JUST clears i can barely fit a sheet of paper there.





here are my tweeters, i removed the coat hanger clips and placed them there.





Now i just need to wait for my clarion vx400 to get here

clean setup, i'm assuming you put some new amps under the storage bins?

robftw

Yeah, you can't see it in the pictures though.



It's just a regular 2channel @ 200 wats powering the rears and tweeters, sitting on the rubber back there. (for now)



I'm not a fan of the bright white alpine covers, i think i will repaint them smoke grey or black, i haven't decided yet.

That looks great!

Well it arrived.



Protip: You need to push alot of the wires out the sides near where the kick panels and hide them down the carpet on the passenger side... But it fits.



Also, i used a 1'' block on the bottom, and a 1/2'' piece of carboard to secure it since there isnt a double din kit for this, i also used this sticky tape stuff.. im not sure what it is but it's a rubbery foam with adhesive on the back, it fits securely.









I need to adjust the height a little bit, but it fits okay for now, I dont notice the gap while sitting in the seats so meh.

And some night shots, the screen dims a little bit when you turn your running lights on so you aren't blinded while driving

Nice! Clean and simple-looking, I like it.

I'm pretty happy with it so far, everything is extremely clear, 100% volume and no distortion at all, however i do miss subwoofers... I think i might end up buying them now... damn car audio is a disease.



Before i do that i need to fix my damn power steering hose.. it cracked and shot fluid all over the damn place... And than if i get woofers, i'm going to get a 140amp GM alternator.

thatpoorguy

the gm alternator will fit? didn't know that. will it fit on both 12a and 13b?
