Changed the grill cloth on the rear speaker grills. Wanted more of a two tone look. Turned out well.

Still waiting on DVD changer to get here before I can button things back up. W505 is installed and working great. NAV, Bluetooth the works. Ran both Ipod cables into the center console along with bass control knob for my sub amp. All turned out well. I can hook up my Ipod on high speed and Iphone on USB connection.

I wonder what the sub is gonna sound like...should sound good.

On a side note, what size speakers you think I can fit up on the rear deck withouth hacking up the metal and using a simple spacer like you did...think a 5x7 would fit? Trying to get some more mid bass in the system....a 6x9 would be awesome...

evil,

A 5 1/4 is as big as your going to get without cutting metal. My Morel's barely fit even with a one inch spacer. Cutting the sheet metal is no biggy with a nibbler though. In my old SC 400 I cut the whole decklid out and did a Dynaudio MW190 free air for the sub and Focal 6 1/2 coaxials back there. Took literally thirty minutes to cut out. Reinforced the decklid with 3/4 inch MDF, worked like a charm. This time the only reason I didn't cut was because I was going to do the sub in the spare tire well.

Awesome job. There are some shops around here that don't even wire as cleanly as you did. Very nice job. I wish you were in MA so you could wire my car up when I upgrade.

Got the sub playing. Sounds very good. Very tight, will need some hours for break in I think. All in all I think I'll keep it.

David,

All in all not to much. The biggest problem has been getting equipment at different times. If I would have had everything all at once it would have gone a lot faster. Still waiting on DVD changer and Alpine optical cable. Once that gets here I'm basically done except for the new Metra mounting kit. I'll probably mod it too since i'm not to much of a fan of plastic brackets.

Alpine DHA-S690 DVD changer installed in the glove box. Had to make some small mods to the back. Optical cable was a big problem. Couldn't find one that would fit nor could I dremel one down to fit good. Found an original Alpine optical cable off e-bay. Fit and worked perfectly. Going to install tommorow.
