Smile 2008 ISF Audio Build

I am currently working on a 3 day ISF full audio build.

Products:
JBL MS8
Hertz 6.5 Coaxial rears
Pioneer Stage 4 components running active
2 Audison LRx amps and a alpine PDX M12
2 Alpine Type R's
2nd Battery

I will break down the wiring diagram as best I can for future installers.







Removing door panels






Stock speakers vs aftermarket

Awesome, GL. Are you using the OEM head unit? Seems kinda hard to remove since its all integrated.

Yes, I am going to either sum the channels with the MS8 or "more preferred" locate the pre outs of the head unit and run them to the MS8. Still figuring that out.
