well every since i inherited my grandfathers mariner ive been planning my install. so far ive only installed my subwoofer and amp. Ive got an American Bass PH4000MD and a SSA Xcon 18" D1. the box has 6.7 cubic feet plus another 1.9 cubic feet for port, it was tuned to 34hz i believe when i designed it. I used a simple LOC to run my amps RCA inputs. worked pretty well but as soon as i get my income tax im getting a Pioneer double din and 4 channel 100watt rms @ 4 ohm amp. then replacing all the door speakers and installing components up from with a nice mid range drive in the back doors. right now with the stock mids / highs i cant hear anything over this xcon. shes a beast gains not even half way and it slaps. anyway heres photos, im open to suggestions!!

im going to use the PAC RP4-FD11 i ordered the wrong one sadly i wont be able to keep the factory usb/aux input on the dash. they wont work unless you buy the PAC MS-FRD1. but i keep steering wheel controls and my HU has aux/ usb of course! i just hope the factory usb port will still charge my phone. as for the dashkit there several pieces but only one hold the radio. ill have some pics up as soon as i get everything shipped here.

 
yea as soon as i finish up the front stage ill work on making the box pretty. i wanna put 8 gauge wiring in for the speaker wire.

 
Lots of stuff came in today, TWS tweeters HU and faceplate along with PAC harness. 100ft of speaker wire, 0 gauge wire. So I got to work wiring up the harness. That's always the funniest part.... Not I did however add my iPod av cable on the Hu so I can use YouTube videos and what not through any iPhone or iPad.

That's all for today, I'm not installing until next weekend still waiting for 6.5" adaptors to come in and the last two midrange speakers.

 
Had some free time so I threw the HU in ran my RCAs and new amp turn on. I love this HU lots of features, the graphic EQ is my favorite though.

Stock radio out

Got my speaker adapters in today. I have to say car-speaker-adapters.com was great to work with. Shipping was super fast for usps. They upgraded me to first class for free and they offer 50% off if you send them 10 photos of the install process!! My last two midrange drivers come in on wednesday so ill install hopefully thursday or friday
