Hey SA guys what kind of systems do you have and how did you get them installed?? also whats a good place to get it from?..online, best buy, etc.

 

I have a really nice hole where it should be. But I have an Aiwa cd player to put in, I have already put the speakers in the rear and run new speaker wire, Pulled all of the factory amps and crap. You will have to cut the face plate to put in almost any new radio. You can still buy the **** style but they are all tape players.

 

Sony CRX-8200...

 

Pioneer 7500mp (enlarged stock radio hole to DIN size)
Infinity Kappa 4" 2-ways in stock location
Infinity Kappa 6"x9" 3-ways in boxes in the hatch (you'll see where)
2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 10"s in sealed box (box is just til i build something custom to go where the bins go)
75w RMS per Seperate
250w RMS per Sub









hope that gives you some ideas, the 6x9 boxes are Road Gear from Best Buy (they fit perfectly there, i'd reccomend them, they are also a good size to provide good sound from the Infinitys.

edit: http://hroman.slac.com/rx7/Kurt/ for pics of my car, if you care to see them.

 

in my car im going to hide my new cdplayer in the glove compartment, i already have a sub box were the bins go with 6 cd change hope to get amp soon. 6x9 in boxes in the back by the lights, i just like the stock look and i dont want to cut my dash. hope to have photos soon.

 

How do those infinities sound up front?

 

how did you get a box for the subs in the bins? custom made?

 

they sound good, when i build the 79, i'm gonna put seperate tweeters inside my right and left air vents, just to move the soundstage up a little in the car... it would be nice if you could get a 5.5" up front for a little more midrange from the front, but really, the car is so small, that the midrange from the 6x9's is more than enough for overall sound.

 

in my car i got 2 pioneer 6x9's pointing at the back of the passenger and drivers heads, then i got my amp and cap mounted on the sub box then the 2 12 inch clarion subs are pointed to the back of the car great sound for the power im running! ill try to upload a couple pictures in a second here...

 

right now the box is sota just like a 2 foot board going up and then a board going back and the 2 ten inch subs in there in the bin area my plans are to make 2 seperate boxes that go there and they will be detachable for my drifting sessions so ill lose the weight, but its going to be another month b4 i make those. sry for the vauge description

 

here i hope these upload (crappy 56k =( modem)

Sorry if the picture quality is a little bad im still trying to find pictures of the other side of the install showing my amp cap and 6x9's, I also have a different HU now its a pioneer 6400 and i have a pioneer 6 disc cd changer installed in my passenger side bin for easy access ill get more pictures hopefully tonight

 

ok took some pictures there should get posted by tomorrow night!

 

get a detatchable face cd player. Then get some kinda crappy looking or stock radio face. glue all the buttons and **** onto the face and then attatch velcro to the back of it and to the front of the cd player. Now when you are out of the car you can put the mock up face on and no one will see your cd player and break in hoping to find the face (where we all know it goes) in the map holder pocket in the door. My buddy did this on his 73 vw bus and the stock saphire am radio face. The illusion was perfect.

 

I want to replace the radio in my gslse but obviously it's a gignatic unit and I don't want to have a gigantic black plastic plate with the radio in the middle of it. Anybody have any suggestions on how to make a nice looking cover to go around the head unit?

 

Well I'm running a complete Pioneer system a Pioneer DEH-P7500MP(Love the Motorcycle Graphic) two 2.5'in 2-ways in the front and two 5'in in the back two tweeters on each of the top right corners of the door moldings and two 10'in subs in a custom box me and my pops made it fits snug against the back and slants down so it doesn't disturb the glass hatch. I have a pioneer 750watt amp for the subs and running the speakers off the radio until i get enough money to buy another amp for them. I bought all this stuff from Best buy and the reciver from 6th ave. cost about $500 with wires and all self install.

 

ok got my stereo pictures! Sorry I dont have a better hu picture, its hard to get it under 100 kb for some reason.

 

WOW 6x9 projectiles ! Try using velcro if you have problems with them moving around.

Nice Set up and CLEAN interior, I like the CD changer position, I ould have put mine there as well if i had the cubbies.

OLD *** KENWOOD 10 disc

yes it closes

had to cut out the rear and yes i still have the light.

 

 

haha actually the 6x9's stay put very well, the wiring holds them in place actually.

 

I actually made a pocket underneath my head unit...looks pretty clean...check it out

 

ya I like the looks of that good work!

 

 

I have the original stereo, Clarion am/fm in the top part and cassette in the bottom. Anyone know where I can get the fronts off those units put on a working unit, or is there someone who might be able to rejuvinate the old one. Obviously more worried about maintaining originality than having a great system, but some tunes would be nice.
