1st system.

Hey guys. after about a month of lookin online for the parts I wanted (or could afford, for that matter) I ordered them with my birthday money.

I was given a free Alpine h/u and 4 free alpine Type-S speakers. The speakers are the little ones (not 6x9) and they didnt fit in my tacoma, so I made them fit.

I ended up ordering a Cadence TXA-6004 and an Alpine Type-R 12" subwoofer. I built my own sealed enclosure and made it look nice.

I installed it yesterday with my friend Nate. We've never installed a system before and Im really happy with how it turned out. I still have tons of wire-clean up to do because I ran out of daylight.

The only mistake I think I made was I installed the fuse and fuse holder under my seat with my amp. I also was originally planning to run front speakers to the am and leaving my rear in just to be there and make noise, but I skipped that and am only using my front two speakers, but Im happy with the day I did it.

Anyways...this shit is addicting and im super pumped to have my system bumpin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I love the way it sounds and its what I imagined, although I think I might upgrade to some good components in the future, but for now, im more then satisfied!!

Thanks to everyone on here who helped me out

My first system: Kraco 8-track with those typical round speakers stuffed on top of coffee cans and laid in the back seat. I "installed" it myself...LOL!

Ain't it nice this isn't 1973? Glad you got some nice stuff for free and the b-day money to finish it off. Kudos on the self-install and please do post some pix. Everyone else will be asking for them too...LOL!
