[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6324894, member: 611275"] Now's the time to chronicle a little more of the progress that's been made. Here are the finished speaker pods/baffles that will go into the front doors. [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/finishedpods.jpg[/IMG] I removed the factory pods, added a .75" mdf baffle to the front, covered the entire thing with dynamat xtreme inside & out and then sprayed primer. I still wasn't happy with them, so I wrapped them in black carpet. Here's the install kit for the forthcoming Alpine IVA-W505 [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/homeforthealpine1.jpg[/IMG] I didn't even have to paint this thing, and it matches the interior pretty nicely. At least there was one easy thing in this install. Here's how I wired the doors. [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/wireloom.jpg[/IMG] The front boots were covered by fuse boxes and whatnot, and the rear ones were tiny. Even after removing the cluttered mess that covered the boots, it was impossible to pass two runs of .12 speaker wire through them. A compromise was made, but I think it turned out alright. I repeated this process on all 4 doors. This is what I did in the rear doors. [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/rearpassengersclose.jpg[/IMG] These pods are identical to the ones that will go into the front doors. Factory pod, .75" mdf baffle, dynamat xtreme inside & out and black carpet to hide the ugliness. The rears are still a work in progress, though. Everything that's covered in primer will be carpeted in the end. Should look clean. Here's the first shipment from knukonceptz. [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k460/savage1119/stufffromknukonceptz.jpg[/IMG] Another package is on the way, and it will include RCA cables and various terminals & fittings. There's a lot more, but I don't feel like uploading pics all day. Thanks for looking... [/QUOTE]
