[QUOTE="ericnord, post: 5053758, member: 560194"] Now it is on to the tweets in the A-pillars! First I had to cut the holes and prepare the pillars for paint: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/tweettemplate.jpg[/IMG] Then I cut it using my Dremel w/ a sanding attachment: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/pillarhole.jpg[/IMG] Then painted the A-pillar. Put one SEM Texture coat on, then two SEM Landau Black coats, then one more SEM Texture coat, then some Matte Clear that I got from Homedepot. A got a couple flakes while I was installing the A-pillars, so not sure if I needed to prep the plastic first, or if I didn't let it dry long enough. We'll see how it goes, but may need to pull out again and sand before painting. [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/pillarpaint.jpg[/IMG] Then mounted the Hybrid Audio Technologies Legatia L1 using hex screws: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/tweetmount.jpg[/IMG] I used some nuts on the back and also some quick connects on the speaker wire: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/tweetmountback.jpg[/IMG] Here is the other quick connect on the cable run up from under the dash: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/tweetquickconnect.jpg[/IMG] Now some misc wiring run pics: [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/driversidewiring.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/powerwirerun.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://hutec-inc.com/personal/build/5/passsidewiring.jpg[/IMG] All I'm waiting on now is the Ai-Net extension cable so I can install the HU, run the AI-net and Remote up the middle, then put the carpet back down and the seats. Then I can focus on mounting amps and sub in the back somehow. [/QUOTE]
