All stock, I quit wasting money on feeding stereo thieves a long time ago...
My jeep has one in a steel welded box so it does not walk away...

All stock internals will be replacing the rear mids soon wiht the upgrade and possibly installing a two more in the deck??
also wanted to buy a pair of the HK tweeters and mids that go in the doors and have 4 on each side!? lol we shall see about that.

ROCKFORD FOSGATE POWER Speakers 4" Back, stock front
JVC KD-AVX2 Exad Mobile In-Dash DVD/CD Player Receiver with 3.5" Screen
used to have this but not a big fan of the bass so i just took all that out
ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH P2 10" (2)
ROCKFORD FOSGATE Amp PUNCH P400-2
ROCKFORD FOSGATE POWER Speakers 5.25" Front __________________  5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | | | 01-20-2010, 01:19 PM | #11 | | Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Stafford VA Posts: 81 |
Alpine-9885 Headunit
BSW mids/tweeters up front (in the door panels)
6.5" Pioneers in the rear (replacing the 4t)
Infinity 600w amp -> 1 Rockford Fosgate P2 10" sub
The Fosgate is a bit punchy for my taste but it's better than no bass. Plus the price was right. | | | | | 02-01-2010, 02:28 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Jax, FL Posts: 541 |
Can I install 6.5 in the front kick panel? I believe the stock fitment was 5.25.
Would there be much cutting involved, or something simple I can do with a dremel tool.
Thanks | | | | | 02-01-2010, 03:07 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

Wolf, Same HU here too. However, I haven’t permanently installed the CD43 yet due to fitment issues. Seems like the deeper I slide the unit in  the A/C panel seems to also sink in. Maybe HU wire harness need to be tucked in or ensure it is all clear before pushing the rest of the HU in. Definitely looking forward to what is entailed in modifying the kick panel to fit the 6.5. Thanks again. | | | | | 02-01-2010, 04:11 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 |

I am glad you think you know what you are doing, but I am an electrical engineer and I REALLY know how it works __________________ -Jeff
