classic bug audio build

[DUBSLIFE5150]

building my first car (1972 bug w/ early parts), with my first sound system. Gotta say this audio stuff is overwhelming but i am still learning. I bought my first amp today (kicker kx600.1) for $120 so i will be going based off of that. i got some pioneer subs but they are crap. ill be getting new stuff.

My build so far

Headunit: sony cdx gt565up

componenets: none yet. i want kicker ds65.2 and ds68 ran off the headunit

amp: kicker kx600.1

subs: non yet, will be dual sundown e-10

enclosure: 32x15x12 with 10.75x1.5 port.

thats it so far. any advice is welcome, sorry for the large photos

nice amp, 1-ohm stable if a remember correctly, try find yourself a kx300.4 for your speakers (matches the kx600.1)

would be ideal but i am still running an ancient generator in my bug. so i will run the components from the headunit untill my car can handle a second amp. simple alternator kit will do the trick

also be worth checking those subs, pretty sure they are designed as a free-air sub (should still sound and work okay in a box)

i was gonna try and sell them for cheap. if i dont sell them ill test them but i either way i want sundowns.

i was introduced to the pioneer appradio. anybody have dimensions? i dont think it'll fit anywhere on my bug

i've got the 1200.1 and 600.4 in this pic ^ cut the grills to size so it looks like one amp.

If you drove around in reverse I wonder if anyone would notice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I herd if you slam the breaks hard enough those will do a summersault.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have a kicker 68.2 2 way component sets that I am getting rid of good starter set with only two months use and still under warranty

There is two 6x8, two tweeters, and two crossovers in original boxes and hardware

As I said they sound good and make a great set to learn about components and positioning and using passive crossovers
