stereo install

hey everybody. I am an air force mechanic stationed out here in las vegas for the time being, and I thought you might like to see the stereo I just put in my 91' single cab 4x4

freshly cut door panel


61/2 inch door speaker pods in work


doors almost finished


left door crossover


right door crossover


beautiful wife helping with B-quiet (like dynomat, but cheaper and better)


I had to bang in the rear of the cab to get the speaker box to fit just right. did I mention I got this truck for $800.00 and dont care if its ugly?


box installed


amplifier


new head unit


and finally, the finished product.



it sounds excellent, and no, not alot of rap gets pushed through this system. mostly REAL punk, metal and the doors.

the subwoofer is a kenwood excelon "shallow sub". the box is rather thin and fits well in small space applications. it fits and sounds great.

Nice install, which Sony head unit is that. I am looking for something Ipod compatible and that looks like the one I am looking at.

Thanks
Robb

Best buy is closing out that head and amp. The are going for 40 bucks each. Its not a competition setup, but its a good reliable rig. Its exactly what I have in my rig right now.

no, it was a little more like $200 for the deck, and another $200 for the amp. it may not be a competition setup but it will hit 130 decibels. it took around 2 weeks all together, and yes, it is ipod compatible.

carpet over amp = not good! amp will over heat. most(if not all) newer amps have a protection system that simply shuts the amp off. I know that my amp is burning hot to the touch when the protection kicks in.

nice little setup you've got there, perfect for a single cab needing some good tunes. I like the doors/deadening...

NICE
i did alomst the same amp(m450) with the kicker cvt 10".it friggin bangs down hard.
i wish i had a box like yours so the sub would be more centrally located but the shallow box it came with fits perfect.i put it behind the pass seat.
im impressed with that little alpine its got some heart.
