Well after a couple of years I've finally finished gathering up all the needed equipment to complete my audio upgrade. This is my first time doing any real audio upgrade aside from replacing the headunit so some of my choice for components may be poor but I was just looking for something that was better than stock. I suppose if I don't like something I can always upgrade it down the road.

FedEx dropped off the last goods on Saturday so I got cracking on installing it all. Spent the last couple of days working on it. For the most part it's all hooked up (except back up camera) but I ran into some issues with amp placement. I put the Alpine amp under the passenger seat but I didn't realize there was a bar under the passenger seat and it hitting. I'm planning on swapping the amps around because the JL is shorter and will clear it. I have a slight slight alternator whine (it's barely noticable) but it's due to my poor ground spot which i will fix when i move the amps around.


JL HD 750/1 for the sub, Alpine PDX-4.100 for the doors

JL Evolution C5-650 components for the front doors
MB Quart PVI-216 components for the rears (converted to coax so I don't have to drill a hole)

You can remove the bar under the passenger side seat and turn it upside down brother.

Not bad at all for a 'first time' major upgrade, looks like you dove in well.
