96 Range Rover HUGE Ghetto Install Rebuild

[I Like Waffle]

So today i got 1 door speaker installed, the radio wired in and functioning, still 1 door speaker left. EVERY ****ING PANEL IN THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REMOVED AND BROKEN! OMFG. Im gonna throw the other door speaker in tommorow and get it wired up to the deck and put the dash back together and im done. At this point im ready to just tell the guy to get the ****ing truck and get it out of here.

If you do that, then you are a quitter.

But there is such thing as a lost cause, and judging by the pics, well, lol.

check that speaker for LEDs. That looks like a dual brand speaker that has LEDs. The extra set of wires would be for the power....

Just got up and about to go work on it now. Got one door left to do and thats it, then just add the finishing touches. Bad thing about it is that if i wanna run wire through the factory grommets the whole left side of the truck comes apart //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I also enjoy how every screw is stripped, and every panel clip is broken off.

Yea i remember reading on here that alpine had some good stuff back in the day, some even better than what they have now. That old ass alpine has 4v preouts on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif I personally dont like alpine though so i dont know too much about them, however they are some badass amps. The 2ch is fused for 60 amps and the 4ch for 30, and just judging by that id say theyre decent. I may talk him into trading me the 2ch in exchange for some labor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I recently bought that same alpine, one of the best hu's i've ever owned. Time alignment .. yay.

Done. Heres pics of it "completed". i installed the sub amp today and it works, but the radios remote wire only puts out 5v to it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif So it only turned on when i jumped the power. I played it for a while and 1 15" on 600 watts sounded badass in that truck, makes me want an SUV. I actually wired the remote wire to the acc to get it to work, and went and bought some door panel push things that way the door panels stay on now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also, the guy complained the gauges didnt work after i was done, i never touched the gauges so i have no idea why they wouldnt work, as far as im concerned its all the faulty wiring, i told him to take it to a dealer and have it checked because i was tired of it.

Few pics

Time alignment or not, i wasnt very impressed with its SQ and such. Looked like a decent unit but i dont like alpine, personal reasons.

Man is it a relief to get that thing out of here. I had been working on it till like 12am every night and tonight i just get to chill. The same guy wanted me to put some speakers in is 05 BMW 525i. I told him i wasnt gonna **** with it but i might change my mind, imma do some research first.
