Put in new HU... Alpine 9887.. one hell of a head unit if I must say lol.

I still need to figure why I can't get voltage out of my SAZ3000 it's driving me nuts.

Not digging all the wires showing, even with the loom or whatever you call it, but besides that, looks good and I am sure it is loud. Like the boxes you made for the battaries as well. Good job!

that wiring looks way to close to the exhaust for comfort.

I would Put both amps under the box, and build a piece of wood to fit on top of them, Maybe some fans? Then it would be very clean, and maybe build tops for the batt's? jsut make sure if you put them both under there, there is some type of fan's

EDIT: Can you put one of them Behind the box?

good -

wire looms WAY to close to exhaust, and maybe not, but I would imagine, visible from behind?

Tuck 'em away.

Use the space under the box. Maybe make a platform that give one of the amps enough clearance under the box? (so the box is sitting on a "table") Just enough for clearance tho. Then you can mount the other amp on the back of the box?

I like the tops on the battery idea - just give it clearance so the posts aren't rubbing.

VERY nice install. Simple and effective. I like your carpeting technique, and I like the carpeted bat boxes, Its rare to see someone carpet and fully finish a box these days? (maybe its just me, but I haven't seen a carpeted box on her in ages)

cudos

dude nice rebuild!

I have like the same exact car (97 seville sts). Did yours come installed with the bose system? If so do you know how to put a new hu in without rewiring all the speakers? I just want to slap a new hu in the dash, nothing as involved as what your doing. Thanks!!!

I would put both amps under the box but there is no room.. if you look at the pics before the box is in you will see there is a lil hump like thing that makes it so there isn't enough room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. And behind the box there is no room either.. Well I guess there could be but It'd be extremely hard to do, which is what I am trying to avoid with this install. (My back seats don't fold down)

As of now I don't need fans the amps barley get hot, especially the 3000 that thing doesn't even get close to warm.

The wire loom looks close, I probally could zip tie it up to the frame.. but it is still a good distance from the exhaust, and fnot even close to visible from behind.

What I think I might do is build a cover the 100.4 and carpet that, just showing the top of the amp.. and def do covers for the batterys, maybe carpet or plexi? Prob carpet to keep cost down and stealthy. And maybe make like a very small cover for the wire running down the side of the box and carpet that...

Appreciate all the input.. more is welcome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

O ya to the guy with the Caddy - yea you can you need a module... I have one here but it by-passes the Bose amp I believe. I will ask my Caddy specialist buddy and see if that can work for you.
