[QUOTE="nineball, post: 6303671, member: 585829"] going out of town for the weekend so tonight was my last night to work on anything for a while and i got quite a bit done. all connections, both rca and speaker / power wires, are done. head unit is securely mounted. all wires are zip tied and/or hidden. on to the pics... first up was to tidy up all the wires behind the head unit. i was not using the speaker lines so they got bundled and ziptied. then i grouped the excess power/switched/remote/ground/illumination wires and made everything nice and clean. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4595.jpg[/IMG] here is a shot under the passenger side of the dash. you can see the speaker wires as they run over to the middle. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4598.jpg[/IMG] all excess speaker wires and rca cables are ziptied and behind this panel, again all nice and clean. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4597.jpg[/IMG] left side speaker wires ziptied and ran to the middle. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4601.jpg[/IMG] this is behind the head unit. all wiring was put behind the bracket that holds the rear of the head unit. nice and clean, if i haven't said it before, is the way to go. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4599.jpg[/IMG] this is the ground from the previous owner's debauchery of the audio system and as my goal was not to add a single hole anywhere i reused it. first i cleaned off the area of contact. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4602.jpg[/IMG] here is the ground mounted. a generous layer of dielectric grease was used between the floor and the ring terminal as well as a solid layer over everything once installed. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4606.jpg[/IMG] finally everything was cut to length and connected to the amp. side view [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4607.jpg[/IMG] rear view [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4608.jpg[/IMG] i had to remove the 4 little feet that go on top of the mounting holes in the amp to get it to clear the seat rails and made it by a few mm. i also had to remove the rear floor mat - not the actual carpet just the mat that was on top of it. clearance was that tight. the rear seats will be coming out soon enough so no real need for the mat anyway. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4609.jpg[/IMG] once all of that was done it was time to start tuning. i set all the gains properly on the amp and then set the crossover points on the hu. the tweets are crossed at 3.2k and the mids at 63/3.2k for now. once i get the subs installed i will probably raise up the mids to 80. mids are getting ~150rms and tweets are getting about 60rms now but there is still a lot of tweaking to do. i should point out that i have the same set of comps in my other car running passive and the difference in output between active and passive is night and day. passive they are very lacking in midbass response however active they are pretty **** amazing. i can't wait to add the subs and see what it is fully capable of. from this day forward, until i get too old to care about audio, i will never be passive again. next week i will start the fiberglass enclosure for the subs....
