    just posting some pics of what I have been tinkering with over the past few months. As most of you know I don't drive the car so I finally decided that I needed a cool show setup for my Audio gear

    The parts list is as follows

    OEM GM Nav Radio
    Type RF X162s comps
    Type RF X152s comps
    Type RF T168s comps
    Type RF X2 Amps
    Type RF X4 amps
    Type RF X7 amps
    Power HX2 Subs


    Some of this gear is over 10 years old....circa 2003, and is actually better than the new gear out there.

    Anyway

    the Crossovers are huge and I was able to hide them in the doors. OF course I had to make brackets and such to do this








    I also wanted the install to appear stock (now I know the OEM locations are not for a SQ but for a convenience of the automaker) so you have to make some sacrifices

    Here is the tweeter install

    Stock


    What I chose to do




    For the rear doors I did some additions.

    Right here is the point of no return, there is now a hole in the door panel


    I used a OEM speaker grill from the front tweeter


    and it matches the OEM rear speaker Grill


    Bracket for the Tweeter


    I Chose a pretty good location for the rear crossovers


    Brackets


    Mounting

    and to the Grand Finale

    Trunk Install

    This is a throw back to my 93 that had a similar install. Unlike the Interior install I wanted this one to be over the top.

    did some planning with the carpet and it all seems to work


    so on with production




    False floor starting


    Side Panels starting


    Rear Wall Starting


    Side Panels cut




    Rear wall cut and fit



    Coming together








    Carpeted Parts





    And the Final product

    Awesome install. I think you should change the thread title to draw in more attention. "Best looking audio install on GPF" or something similar LOL

    Why 6, how are you feeding everything?

    Next car could be up there with a beastly build as well.

    That's the thing about Pat. He does nothing if it can't be an immaculate install.

    There on the Trunk lid are (2) Two Channel Amps feeding the rear deck speakers

    In the Trunk there is (2) Mono Channel Amps Feeding the subs and (2) Four Channel Amps feeding the front and rear doors

    The 2 channel do ~100RMS a Piece
    The 4 Channel do 536RMS and 539RMS a Piece
    the Mono Amps do 1790RMS and 1806RMS a piece

    Interior components are good for 100 RMS each and will handle more
    the HX2's are good for 1000RMS with a 2000 peak and have been proven to handle way more
