[QUOTE="DJItalianICE, post: 979736, member: 561613"] I've spent 6 hours on my car so far. -About 30 minutes to solder the wiring harnesses. -3 hours putting the HU in my car (I had two stubborn screws that needed Apex tips and a lot of torque [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG] ) -1 hour snaking my A/V cables through the car one under seat = not too bad one in trunk, kind of a PITA -2 hours installing first amp under seat grounded it screwed it down connect speaker wires routed speaker wires to doors -30 minutes connecting subwoofer to box and amp to box and amp to sub And I still need to: -Run power wire from battery though firewall (biggest nightmare) -Solder 4ga wire to distro block while INSIDE my car (bought a 0/1 to 4ga distro so I gotta solder the 4ga to the 0/1 screw to get it to stay) -Run power wire to both amps -Sound deaden my trunk and possibly doors -Get gains set right -Put sub in trunk and bolt it down -Drill holes in the doors for tweeters and get the midranges in too. I dind't realize it would be this time consuming! It's not that difficulut, just tiring. Although I am having fun learning [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Everyone else I know goes to circuit city to buy Kenwood HU's, Sony Xplod subs, and Blaupunkt speakrs and gets them put in there [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
