Default Pics of new subs, amps, and speakers

Finish installing all new Rockford Fosgate audio equipment. It only took me 4 years! The install is solid (although it could look flashier) and the sound is incredible. It reminds me of my 90's cruising days when I first started driving. No regrets and I enjoy my car more now than ever. I will probably add some head rest tv's because I bore easily and need things to occupy my active mind. Just a fun thing to do.

Did the 6x9 speakers fit in the front door without any modifications? How difficult was it to install the tweters?

Nice setup.

Nice setup.
Used the factory speaker and modified it to hold the new 6x9 instead of making or buying a new bracket. Worked out fine. Tweeters were easy, not too difficult to install. Thanks

Could you detail more on how the front door 6x9 install was done? I think the surround is going on the RF and I've been thinking about what to do. I plan to replace the amp and use component speakers. Place the amp and crossovers under the seat like the factory install so I can just use the factory wiring.

Did you run power wire through the cabin or along the under side of the car? Looks great and very clean! I'm thinking about a 12" W7 for my RX....

The doors were done a while ago and I did not document the install. But, I remember the original speaker was taken out (essentially destroyed) and used the factory bracket. I have not seen anyone post a write up or have pics of factory 6x9 but there maybe somewhere on this forum.

Sorry for the late reply. I have experienced no excessive heat problems when the top is closed. Because I expect very hot weather in the summer, I can leave the top open and it does not affect the bass. I also have a rear cargo cover so nothing shows. I have really enjoyed it!
