Audio installation log
 

objectives : a "budget" active system as stealthy as possible
nothing much at first. progress is very slow because of some family "issues" keeping me away...
first up, mounting the head unit (alpine 9813 i found locally) :
dash ripped apart, so i can fabricate some brackets to hold the head unit in place

EDIT : sorry for the large pics. tried photobucket first but couldn't make it work. :%

this is where i mounted the front stage amplifier (4 channels). only running front speakers, 2 channels for tweeters and 2 for midbasses (crossover part done by the head unit)
the subwoofer amplifier is mounted under the driver's seat. it's considerably smaller than the 4 channel.

i'm trying to use as little cargo space as possible (that's why i mounted the amps under the seat) so i'm going to build a subwoofer enclosure out of fiberglass

pics of new 6.5 speaker and passenger door tomorrow :D

I was looking to put my 4 channel amp there so nice to see it fits.

size of my amp : 13.4" x 10.2" x 2.3" (34cm x 25.9cm x 5.9cm)
what stuff are you putting in dude ? :)
watch the seat adjustment. my passenger seat is now in a fixed position and i've managed to scratch my sub amp while adjusting the driver's seat :(
seatbelt material glued to the moving parts of the seat :
