sorry boys been busy w work (HVAC service tech)
soo, i did do the 6.5 infinity kappas in the front i ran wires from the amp (in trunk ) through the car and in to the doors.
hardest part of all this way, feding the speaker wire through that rubber where all the oem wires go (OMFG)
everything else was a peace of cake, BUT the way the 6.5s look i do not like so il be working on that some more, i want them to be "FLUSH" with the doors, see pix.
all in all , this is NOT some crazy expensive upgrade, amps cost about 90bux a peace, cap i got for free, all wiring is by "STINGER"
so i bought
50' so stinger 16awg speaker wire.
stinger 12' 6 channel RCA cable ( 4 speakers 1 sub )
and a stinger distribution block.
AMPs are CRUNCH one for the sub 1100watts.
and one 4 channe 1100wattsl for the 6.5 and the 6x9s.
good priced amps, they dont cut out over heat or anyof that drama, idc THEY WORK!
ok heres what ebay got me.
my IDEA of how it should look.
and heres of what i ended up with, as you can tell its almost dont, this is before all the final wiring.
and here are the doors, and thr infinity kappas 6.5 (awsome ****ing speakers BTW!!! )
the magnet fit exactly in to the oem speaker box. lol
heres a viev of the rear.
and of the front, i hate it how its not sitting fluch, ( fixing that )
and one more of the whole rear door panel.
now iam NO profesional sound system guru, i just know how to use basic tools and i gues u can say work on cars, this is pretty simple and straight foward, iam sure the audio guys on here founds 657653 mistakes or things i could have done better, but hey i do HVAC.
sorry about the wait again.

Im working on that now. Once I get time I'll take pictures. I've got 5.25 in the front and rear doors. 5.25 tucked under the driver and passenger side kick panel (under the steering wheel and under the glove compartment. ) Center channel is next just not sure of what size and where to put it.
Once the amps are hooked up the front and rear doors will be amped, the hidden speakers non amped and the future center channel un amped. Subwoofer will have its own amp as well.

BRAVO!!!! THIS LOOKS GREAT!. I have tried so many setups in my GS, ultimately to learn that its not worth sacrificing your trunk for bass. Not only does our gas tank act like a sound deadener you also give up the largo cargo bay disguised as a trunk! I'm just waiting on my new 5 channel to get hear and I will be doing a very similar setup.

Alright first of all, your car looks way better than mine. I love the back seat (black) and the carbon fiber. I might try to put some carbon fiber rolls on my center console as well. I love that look!
Another thing, I'm very new to cars but LOVE learning. Your idea was ****ing awesome with the speakers! I'm going to test something like this out soon when I have a nice setup going!

I did the Big 3 upgrade and have a 200 amp alternator. I found a 250 amp on ebay for about 250.
