I finally finished the install yesterday. It seems like it took for ever, but I am happy with the results.
I started by attempting to mount the boxes for the 5.25's. I used some stuff that is meant for holding pipes in place for plumbing.
It was easy enough to cut with tin snips, but the process of mounting the boxes was a giant pain in the A$$!!! It was difficult to get in behind the boxes to get the brackets attached to a place that would keep them from swinging forward so there was a whole lot of swearing going on, but I got it done.
I started organizing the mess of wires buy lining up the speaker and rca wires down the passenger side of the hump in the floor.
The power wire got run along the edge of the drivers side by the door, then I installed the carpet and pulled through the wires and seat belts and stuff.
So, it's done. I haven't messed with any setting on the amp yet (both gains are at top dead center) but I am pleased with the sound. For my first attempt at a car audio install, I'm pretty happy. Sure beats the heck out of an AM mono radio.
