Hey All

I started this thread so we can check out each others systems. Who cares how janky, tore-up, un-vacuumed, or incomplete, or freakin incredible they are!

boom, boom, boom boom....

i'd post picks of my install, but i dont got a digi, but if i find one to use i'll show you, gonna have to excuse the lack of quality in the overall install, i still havent got a reply from soundstream about mounting feet for my amp, so it isnt even attached to the rack i made for it,
but nonetheless i'll find somethin to pimp my ride off with.
this could be an interesting thread ;-)

I'll post pics soon of at least one of my systems.  The suburban is being torn apart right now so i can install a RemoteStart/Alarm/KeylessEntry system.  It is the Prestige Platinum APS-786, picked it up for $99.00.  I was just in several local shops (car electronics) and they wanted 550 for a viper or a codealarm installed, and the units were 450 alone!  But I really got it for the autostart/keyless entry, the alarm is more of a bonus.  I am taking step-by-step pictures of the install so that I can do something with em, not sure what, but I do alot of this sh*t, thought I should document it.  Maybe I can use it on a resume when my kids are old enough to go to school.  My wife makes a good living and I always wanted to try my hand in a car audio shop. What is this thread about?  The ranting of madmen, you dont say!

This is my simple install in my Taurus.  Factory radio, replacement 6X8's in the OEM places, one sub, and an amp board holding a 50X4 and a mono amp.  Everything is easy to get to, and in this car the OEM amplifier and wiring is at the rear side in the trunk, so all wiring from factory and LOC's are behind the amp board.  It is made with 3/4" plywood.

The amp shelves are cut from household plastic-coated wire shelving, and angled using "shoe rack" braces found in the same department at Lowes.  Then painted and the cut ends of the shelving covered with rubber ends.  The sub box is HDP, which was available in my shed, and makes a good but heavy enclosure.  The grille comes from partsexpress.  There is a CD changer behind the board, and it is along that wall of the chassis that all grounding is done.

The inside of the car looks completely factory except for the one hole in the center of the rear deck for sub sound from the trunk.  I made the hole using two speaker baffles, ends cut and tucked one into the other and glued with 3M 77 spray glue.  Covered inside with a grille and painted with gray flake.  The rears are covered with the rear OEM carpet.  The fronts are in the doors with the original grilles...nothing to look at here, folks. 

This is a starter system, as I had to break my wife into the idea of doing it one little step at a time.  But it does sound good inside the car.  It does not turn heads on the road, though, which is fine by me because I'm such an old fart now.

Sub:  Cerwin-Vega HED 12" 200 watts

Mono amp:  USacoustics USB600D
Speakers:  Pioneer 6X8 coaxials in factory locations
Amp:  Profile CL440 4X50

All speakers and sub are at 4 ohm.  Dynamat and other sound damping on both skins of the front doors, rear deck and on the trunk lid.  Altogether not much here but better than my friends' best OEM systems, and the younger guys like it and are starting to put their own ideas together.  A lot of fun to do and the benefit of good loud music, too.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
