I dont have pics but this is my system

Kenwood 116s headunit (gift)
Kenwood equalizer (can think of model)
kenwood 748 4 channel amp
Kicker I6.2 components with custom enclosures in the doors
Kicker I650 in the strut towers
Kenwood 726 2 channel amp bridged
Kenwood kfc ws303 12" sub downfiring (hits harder and cant be seen)

That makes 141DB

and will play anything you pop in the CD player (from Snoop to George Straight to Manhiem Steamroller) and sound great doing it.

My deck and guage cluster are now swapped, and I had the aluminum anodized black. But here is my current sub and amp arrangement.

Also mounted a wideband where my clock was

you know, youd get a much more crisp, harder hitting bass sound if you were to downsize from a 15. say you installed 3 10" subs, you would hit alot harder, and it would be alot crisper and faster rebound because it has less surface to move. the radius is smaller making the rebound alot faster and more responsive. just a thought


b.t.w. nice tweeter interior mirror covers im looking into something like that myself.

10's are cool, but men run 15's. Anyway, I mounted my tweets in the defrost vents under the A-pillars.

i got a set of cup holders in the blank spot above the logicon now. i know this isn't exactly what you were looking for but it is "custom". i do have some 12" kicker comp cvr's and an amp to drop in, but i don't have a garage to do the fiberglass work so it'll have to wait until summer. i'll post some pics of it someday, but don't hold your breath

I've always wanted to hide all my audio stuff... subs in the rear bins, head unit in the glove box and kappa component speakers in the stock locations.

Does a double din head unit install early in the FC? I know mine had the radio and EQ in it originally but, don't see an DVD receivers in the D.C.'s.

If your car had the Stacked radio and Eq tapedeck or CD player in it then the easiest way to install the double DIN is to use the sides of the old stock unit,then screw it to the new unit and those old brackets will make placement easier.
You can put a 7 inch display in the dash.
If you look through the seats on pic#1 of my last post you can see the AVIC 6000 which is a 6.1 inch display.I still had room to put in a bigger screen BUT hell..money,money...(wanted the Pioneer AVIC 8000 NEX.)...the 6000 NEX was a Refurbished and I saved a boatload.

thanks for the reply. Now I need to track down the metal stereo bracket since mine has been lost over the years.
