converseHTnut's 1986 Monte Carlo build

[converseHTnut 10+ year member]

I just picked up this car about a month or so ago and haven't had much time to work on it until now.

Monday everything that I ordered came in. Didn't get a chance to install anything until today because of the weather. This is what I got so far.

Everything that I ordered

Infinity Reference 3022cf - 3.5" front speakers

Infinity Reference 9622i - 6"x9" rear speakers

JL Audio 4awg Amp Kit

Pioneer Aux Adapter for my iPod

Monster Cable RCA

I took the Pioneer DEH-P4600MP headunit out of my old car and installed it into the Monte.

Before

After

So far I only installed the headunit. I am doing the speakers tomorrow. The only reason I got the amp kit now was so I didn't have to rip apart the headunit again when I get my amp an subs. Running short on teh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif so I didn't get my subs or amp yet. More to be posted when i get it done.

Respect the MC. I got the same year one. My wheels are stock though. I am planning a much bigger system, but I was thinking about installing my radio and running the speakers off the deck for the time being. I love the car, but hate riding around with no music.

So far all I did was my big 3 and added a red top up front. I am going to have my alternator installed tonight or tomorrow hopefully. 200 amp mechman with an adjustable voltage. I like that you did with the deck as well. I was wondering how to make that stable.

Gotta love G-Body's (Mines in my sig.), However i hate the stock speaker sizes, And location So i went with Image Dynamic's 6.5's all around. Hope you like how they sound!

Car looks good.

Just tell Jdawg to chill........he has kids, so he gets stressed out, lol!

Nice looking ride, but I will be nice about the wheels, so rock on with your bad self! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nice start, although I betcha that JL 4awg kit was expensive.

yea the kit was a bit pricey, after i ordered it i saw that knu has a 4awg kit for about 20 bucks cheaper

probably will upgrade it at some point later, for now i just wanted something since the speakers were still stock and one was blown

if you don't want to cut anything...buy the Q-logic kick panels and throw a set of 5.25" Comps in the kick

Those wheels are so bad ***. So much better than any dub he could put on.
