a night crappy shot lol. finally got out early this morning and wired up the winch and redid the wiring on the battery. i have a die hard battery and opted for the dual post so i can use the side post just for the winch only. worked out really nice. i still need to re wind the winch. anyone want to get pulled lol




oh i removed some of the panels to pop out a dent. since i was there i decided to hide the wires i used to power the air compressor in the rear. still a working process. i also finally got to see how the rear speaker is mounted. wanted to know how much work it would be to run some bigger speakers. looks like something i never seen before. original 1988 premium speaker too. has 5 wires going to it. not blown speaker as well!!

seems like alot of people like them. the metal is kinda thin imo and i dont see them durable for long time use if you keep taking them off and on. i dont plan on removing them alot but like you i hated the bolts that get stripped and the other end that uses the terminal to hold it in place stop holding it cuz the metal is so soft lol anyways i got them at an auto store for 5.99 for the two. comes with 4 wire ends you can use to clamp on to your wires if needed..

this is where i got mine

yea the speakers have built in amp which is pretty cool. well i figured it out. i used some extra junk speakers i had as a tester and found which two wires i needed lol not before a few sparks and the hu turning off but came back on after i unplug the speaker lol

for future reference.
driver side is : white and black
passenger side : red and white

got them installed and man they should much cleaner even tho im still using the stock hu. wasnt expecting much bass but a cleaner sound which alpine is know for and been proving in my last two rides with complete alpine set up.

passenger side


driver side

Having 5 wires is new to me. Bet they sound great. Going thru your build, looks great so far.
