My install is finally done and there are tons of pics in my gallery. There are also dimensioned drawings of my sub box. (props to Dupuis)

I hope this helps others that are doing this for the first time, as this forum has helped me.

Let me know whay you think.

Some targets for search hits:

sorry...link didn't show the first time.

 

Great job dude! Like the box strap for security! I'll have to try that out!

 

Thanks. Makes it insurance-friendly too. Anything bolted down is covered.

 

hey that looks kinda like what I'm going to do(4 8's 1800w), where'd you get the vinyl, it looks like a real good match

 

Got lucky with the vinyl. I just brought a floor mat into a local craft store and found a gray that I thought would work. (They only had 2 colors) It's not a national chain store, so I don't have a color-code or manufacturer that would do you any good.

I knew a color-match would be impossible, but since there are so many different grays already in the interior, you really can't go wrong.

Four 8's @ 1800w is going to knock fillings out.

 

four 18's with 2400w ea would make me happy but I like my back seat..... oh ya and my hearing, I have a place down the street that sells vinyl and carpet, I don't know if they sell to walk ins tho

 

Great work! Inspirering!!

Any shots of the tweeter?

 

I was afraid someone would ask me that... I hacked the factory openings when I tried to make them bigger. Turns out I didn't need to make them bigger, I just needed to use the right mounting flange and they fit perfectly.

So, no...no embarassing pics :o

 

Particularly the oversize hose for running your RCA's from the amp to the truck side.

Thanks. There's 16AWG speaker in there too.

 

Yes very nice install job!

 

Looks good.


As Augs said, that tubing with all the rca's and speaker wire in it is nice. I had planned to do that but didnt want to wait on supplies

 

Hey, Backwards150!

Awesome, clean, detailed, meticulous installation! My own system is not worthy, but I think I'm happier with the amount of work that was required!

Congrats, man! I wish I could hear it!

 

Thanks again. I wish you could hear it too. The double 8's hit nice and hard, and they're super tight, which is exactly what I was going for. The Infinity tweeters can get a little edgy, especially with mp3s, but they're tweakable.

Using the Alpine's ch 1 & 2 for the fronts and bridging 3 & 4 for the subs is a great match. It's a very well-balanced system. I would have a hard time building a better system for $1200.
