Default Weekend project completed!

Took all the old factory stereo crap out, and replaced it all with new gear.
Power Acoustic PTID-7002NRB
Cadence XS693 6x9s in the front
Cadence XS552 5 1/4 in the rear doors
SoundStorm EV1500M
Lanzar 1.6 Farad cap
4awg wireing
10in Kicker CVR's (2003 models)


I started out with a plan but soon found out my plan wasn't going to work, I have both the amp and cap under the driver seat, and I've got 2 80mm fans that I'm going to build a bracket for and mount them on the amp.

It sounds awesome. The subs were originally wired in series, but now they are wired parallel. I feared cause of how small the box was that I wasn't going to get as much bang but I found out differently.

Let me know what ya'll think.

Outside of Austin, little town called Hutto. Yeah the HU and the doors where the first things I did. I spent alot longer then I really needed to, but figuring out how things come apart and soldering and heatshrinking everything takes more time then I anticipated. Plus I tried to take my time with all the wiring to make sure it was nice and clean. Just swaping out the doors made an amazing different. The fronts are 3way and 2way in the back. Im not going to win any stereo or bass comps with it but its great for me, and its better then most people around here are rolling with.
