First install completed. Thanks!

[bbking9]

Been reading this forum for a few weeks.

My daughter just got a 1998 Jeep Cherokee. Already had an aftermarket HU - but thats all.

Didnt want to break the bank so got

Phoenix Gold RDS65CS (based on reviews here) and a MB Quart RAB250 - a tiny 50X2 amp mounted under the seat. No sub planned - just good clean sound. Installed some cheap but nice Clarion 2 ways in the rear for fill. Total cost $240.

I thought the amp install would be tough - but it was easy compared to the speaker install. Stock speakers were 5 1/4 - but crutchfield had many 6 1/2s listed as well - so gave the PGs a shot. Well they were too deep - but thanks to reading threads here - I knew I had to make a spacer. Came out great and sounds awesome. Wont break any glass - just good clean sound.

Thanks to all for all your great reviews and tips - they helped an lot and gave me the confidence that I could do it.

Pics - well everything is already buttoned up - so not much to see really beside the tweeters. Kinda the point though - her car will be parked out back in the driveway - dont wanna tempt anyone.

Pics - of my daughter - uh - dont think so - I know how you guys are - I ve read enough posts to know better.

But again, thanks. Little things like hot glue for the flush mounted tweeters - who woulda thunk it !!

Glad you're satisfied. Let us know how that MB Quart amp does... I'm liking the new line. I might get my hands on some of the premium amps if I get a chance (and the $$!)
