Since my project is nearing completion i thought i would get some pics up. Ive been working on this for about a year now (money limits) and ive spent a lot more than i had planned on. At this point i am ALMOST satisfied with all of my work.....

First the deck.. a Pioneer 6900ub



Replaced the kick panel speakers with infinity references



Replaced the 3 inch rear speakers with 4 inch polk audio speakers...This took about 3 hours with a dremel tool





The remote center... you know so the people in my backseat can change the station....o wait.....well it looks cool anyway...



The tweeters are still stock i have not felt the need for replacing them because the polks hit all the high frequencies and my door panel was loose and i just got it fixed so not planing on taking it off any time soon. Also i unplugged the center stock sub beacuse it sounded terrible and i couldnt find a very good replacement.




Then my favorite part....The trunk
I have 2 mtx 10inch subs that i originally bought as a cheap replacement for the blown kenwoods (oops) but they ended up hitting twice as hard as my old kenwoods so now im just going to keep them i think..The box was custom made with a little help from my dad as well as the amp rack. The amp is an 800watt rms Clarion that i bought from andrew.



it looks much nicer at night





The only work i did not do myself was the original amp kit installation...However i have replaced almost all of the wires they put in....so i guess i basically did all the work myself....
I just found out last night im probably going to need a capacitor...(headlights bouncing) now i just need to find a spot to put it.....

Wow...you went all out.  I just bought one of everything BSW sells.  It has all been waiting patiently to be installed while I work on other things.  I took the seats out of the Roadie over the weekend to vacuum under them, so the stereo upgrade will be in the next week or so.

Rockin...I'll have to hear in person before I go back if I find some time.  I'm going back to school on Easter and I am working every single day until then (Including Easter). 

Clarion looks awesome at night!
