[QUOTE="Mommy Wagon, post: 8050798, member: 641740"] I still haven't received the alternator yet from DC Power, I have a sneaky suspicion it didn't ship when they had projected. Usually I'm no more than 5-7 business days shipping from anywhere in the US. This really is the big hold up to being able to finish the power side. Still on the list: Install alternator Rear doors (deaden/seal) Finish amp rack/panel Finish sub box Build baffles (front & rear) Ground amps to chassis Ground loop head unit (there is the smallest amount of whine, at low volume, which no passenger seems to notice - drives me nuts) I guess that is still quite a list to complete before I'm "finished", and I won't get a chance to do any of it for a few weeks as I'm in MI next weekend through mid week cutting that weekend out. As for moving the tweeters from the factory location, I have always preferred the sound of the tweeter when it doesn't reflect off of the windshield. I could have built the tweeter pods to be on axis in the A-pillar trim, but its too late now. My worry was the distance between the tweeter and the mid if I had also used the factory location, there is already a huge difference between the spaces whith them both in the door. Since I am not going active (to start anyway) and I wanted to damage as few panels as possible this seemed a good option. [/QUOTE]
