Oh all this stuff is def worth more than the car.

Bluebook gives it like $2800 in excellent, but it's pretty beat. Still runs well though.

Well my power wire kit came today. I got a Kicker 1/0 dual amp kit. It's a bit excessive, especially for not even having a sub yet, but I'm leaving plenty of room for upgrades in the future. I'll run the power wire tomorrow and maybe install some speakers. My dad wants to help me find a good place to mount the amp so i have to wait on him for that.

Well went to go run the power line today, turned out to be more of a task than I expected. Also ordered a side post adapter for the battery which I didn't realize I would need. I guess the seats are probably gonna have to come out to get the carpet up right, and the one part of the side paneling between the front and back door looks like it's gonna be a real ***** to get off.

Well my battery side post adapter came today. Still waiting on one more 2ch rca. Then i gotta find the time to do the install.

Well I'm working on an amp mount now. I have come down to two options. On the back of one of the back seats that can fold down, or along the right side of the trunk.

This would go on the back of the right back seat in the trunk. Problems I see with this is room for the thick power cables and not sure how stable screwing into the back of the seat will be, considering it's just thick plastic.

This sheet would go horizontally along the right side. I would have to screw into metal. There would be a lot more room for wiring and also there would be room for a small sub amp in the future.

My dad originally thought I shouldn't put it on the back of the seat, but now he thinks it should go there. He thinks having it on the side will get in the way of getting the spare tire out, which I pretty much showed it wouldn't. But for some reason he's being stubborn about it. Any thoughts?

Well I got the amp mount cut out last night, decided I was gonna go with the one along the right side of the trunk. Here it is setting in there for a test fit. I think this should work pretty well.

Ran some wiring today. First the Kicker 1/0 gauge hyperflex power wire.

Other side of the firewall inside the car.

Along the side.

Got the fuse mounted on the battery case.

Next I ran wiring to and installed the drivers side door speaker. I had a hell of a time running the wire from the inside of the car to the door. Accidentally ripped a hole in the rubber hose but taped it all up.

Hertz speaker installed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Door panel back on.

Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to get the left side door speaker installed.

good job man. I may have missed it but are you going to deaden the doors at all?

 

[undeadxsunshine 10+ year member]

No I'm probably not doing any deadening, only because i don't see this car surviving for too much longer. So I'm just not gonna worry about spending the money on that. I'm also completely broke right now, so after i get the money to buy subs, I may do some deadening.
