gday guys, what lengths of wiring did you use for your installs? i was told 5m from h/u to the boot. so pretty much 10m of speaker wire for the fronts, maybe 2m for the rears 5m remote wire and another 1m for connecting o a second amplifier. then 5m for the power wire inside the car, maybe 2m for the battery to interior, then i am thinking 2m for the earth. does this sound right guys?? also 3 sets of 5m rca cables, (fronts, rears, sub)

Sounds pretty spot on mate. Just remember, too much is always better than not enough! Because you can cut it short if too long. I presume you're running them all off RCA's and your head unit has three RCA outputs. Some amps can use the piggy back effect, connecting one to the next (means less RCA wiring). Probably going to need some RCA splitters (one female to two male, if you're running 4 channel gear) Other than that, sounds good. Also remember to wire the signal wire away from the power wires etc for the amp, that way the signal is clearer (means putting it down the other side of your car, etc, but worth it). What setup do you have?

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very nice mate, look forward to the pics. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how do you go about putting 6.5inch in the vs doorpods? i just bought some 6.5" splits and am waiting for them so i can put them in..

Quote: Originally Posted by raczy how do you go about putting 6.5inch in the vs doorpods? i just bought some 6.5" splits and am waiting for them so i can put them in.. hey man its easy, 1.you place the doorpods over your doorskin (make sure the door will close with them in position) 2. mark where the pods will sit, then cut some mdf spacers (i had 3x 15mm spacers) to hold your woofer. make sure that the spacers will fit inside the doorpod. 3. screw the spacers together to make 1 big sopacer 4 place spacer on the doorskin (which should already be removed) make sure the spacers are in the right position for the pod (the pod will still line up when placed over the spacers) 5. trace inside the spacers and cut the doorskin to fit the magnet of your speaker 6. fit doorskin and repeat step 5 but on the doorframe (i didn't have a hole pre - cut in my door) 7. do all of your wiring, sort out where the crossover will sit, secure pod and speaker to the doorskin, fit the doorskin to the doorthen finish it all of by screwing on the pod cover hows that sound?? make sense??

LOL makes sense but alot of f(u)cking around

yes and no, easier than making custom pods, and wy better than no pods and just in the door (window doesnt wind down all the way, looks tacky etc)

u still need an amp mate?
