Smile and then i let the alpines play

so i spent yesterday running all new 16g wire to all my doors, building adapter plates, and hooking up my 6.5 type-r componets to the front(rear are still in transit). all i can say is WOW. the 2 front are louder than the whole infinity system was. i actually have some bass now. i have a alpine pdx-4.100 in the works right now which pushes 100w x 4 rms. i cant wait to hear all 4 of them after i am pushing some real power to them instead of the 18w x 4 my ida-x200 puts out. if you guys want pics of how i ran my wires let me know. i wanted everything to be hidden so it is and no one would ever know that i ran new wire unless i told them

i made mine with scrap wood, an jig saw and a drill. all of which i already had so 15 minutes later. and these are solid. i bought a set offline before that were made from hard board of what ever that stuff is called, they were flimsy. it was really easy for a diy
