Here the box is installed. And yes the car rides LOW lol. I am trying to get some F350 Coils modded to work on the back end

Well I need some give, the band pass box I need to build will sit somewhere around 5-600 lbs with battery and metal weight. And I don't want my ride to be that rough, plus I am putting 16s on so I need the extra height for the rim.

wow, you guys weren't kidding about the difficulty of the 5 channel amp. I decided to run wire from the amp to each speaker instead of jury rigging it into the back of the head unit. Running wires though the door is ANNOYING AS F. Though the little black wire tunnel in the door, I had to run a wire from amp to crossover and also the crossover-to-tweeter wire. So 2 wires.

The hole is hard to access from the cabin because its blocked by a casing, bubble of metal thing, with only one little hole in it. Also there is a serial port thing jammed in there on the door jamb side. I had to take the door off! Currently only one of my tweeters is working, so I might have pinched the wire when I put the serial port back in. UGH

Another problem I had was with the rear speaker trays. The speaker mount didnt fit in there! So, what I did was remove the speaker mount and cut the back side of it to accommodate the speaker. I was only able to use 3 screws though, ohwell.

I'm having difficulty mounting my deck in the dash, the screw thing in the back doesn't fit my deck. I'm sure I can figure this out tomorrow.

I'm still not done, but I took a few pictures along the way which I will post when I'm done with everything. At this point I wish I payed someone to do it, but it will be done eventually and I would have saved a few hundred bucks. Maybe my pictures will help out other newbies. On the bright side the JL 8w7 is AWESOME. I did not expect it to sound this good, it seriously sounds like I have a 12in sub with very high sound quality

[tidus10]

i wouldnt haven off the door...damn... sounds like youre having fun

Haha thanks Paul - The box with the sub weighs around 180 or so lbs.

It did take some time to install. I just ordered two 4 channels amps, each push over 1000RMS. I will try to document and take some pictures so you can see how the install process works. If you guys have any audio questions feel free to ask me, but remember mine is a 2005 (its very similar but slightly diff then newer models).

I will keep you posted when I put in my Q-Line 6.5" Component sets with my Crescendo Super tweeters and my discus 4.125s.
