I just finished installing my subs last week, so my car is finished (for now). I had to do this in two different steps, b/c i couldn't afford everything at once. But I figured that if I was going to post pic's of my subs, then I might as well post pic's of everything. So I installed the front stage first (about 1 1/2 years ago) and then the subs. So here's what i've got:

-Kenwood Excelon x591 hu
-Rainbow slc235 components
-Sundown 100.2
-Sundown 1000D
-2 12" RD Classic's
-FisherCustom's box tuned to 33hz and 3.5cubes
-DieHard Platinum Battery
-Knukonceptz wiring
-RAAMmat sounddeadoner (in the front doors)

<table><tr><td><img></td></tr><tr><td>Car Install</td></tr></table>

Hopefully that ^^^ works, I've never done this before. And unfortunately, only the passenger side door is deadened now, someone hit my car (nope, don't know who) and so I had to get a new door, but I was able to keep the old panel so there's at least a little. Needless to say, I really, really like everything. My front stage sounded good even without subs, but adding subs just make such a difference. I'd also just like to say thanks to Kevin Holden,and Jacob Fuller for continually answering all of my ("dumb") questions. They were great guys to work w/ and I'd highly recemmond them to anyone

Then I saw the power wire through the door jamb. Fail.....

Nice equipment man.

Yeah fix that power wire man, it's not safe.

^^^They arent trying to dog on you, just more looking out for you. Something like that could burn a car to the ground.

In his defense, there is now way that the power wire will get pinched, unless the door gets ripped open... It actually isn't in a horrible place... Not the best and I would suggest moving it but it isnt nearnly as bad as Ive seen

It is still ghetto as all hell..... I mean come on theres no excuse for that.

And it looks like its right next to the hood hinge and run where the hood would close.

Oh I know. I wouldnt suggest it. In fact Im against it but if he hasnt done an install before, he did a good job.

I would move it though. Just for the record.

Find an opening in the firewall and if you cant, drill a hole and use a grommet. Not that hard man

So you're suggesting going through the firewall? I have no idea how to do that...it took me forever to figure out how to just run it where it is and it shouldn't get pinched there's enough room there

Not that hard, pull up pass side carpet and/or lower dash panels and look for an place with nothing under the hood on the other side, drill a hole. All sorts of places sell gromets for the wire or ghetto way is to put a piece of rubber hose around it.

okay, so i understand from the inside of the car, but wouldn't it be hard to run it through the engine like that? There's not much room

of course there's not much room. pull up your carpet in the front where you/ the passenger's feet would be and look for a rubber plug, and if its not there, then look for a hole that goes directly into the engine compartment. then disconnect your (-) terminal and just feed the wire until you getit right.
