Default Some of my system.

My new sub and amp are on their way so I will have pics of them this week hopefully. The head unit is a kenwood excelon 889, and boston acoustics all around. I have pictures of the actual intall process if anyone is interested. I forgot to take pics of the rear speakers! Welll, they look like the fronts but in a 5 1/4". The 4th pic is the reason why I like to do things myself, lets see best buy solder and heat shrink all connections and then use a wire loom to pretty it up! The last pic is where I decided to run the 4awg wire through the firewall, there a grommet and then I used a marine grade silicone sealant to seal it up.

Sure is. It cost a bit but the fosgate kit was very nice, rca's included.

I have infinity in mine and they fit fine. I imagine your should fit fine as well.....if for some reason they dont all you have to do is make a little simple spacer.

My bostons came with a ring that you could use as a spacer...I think most do? I am going through hell with my sub set up, I am on my third box! If people would only advertise accurately things would be so much easier. I bought the boston acoustics g5 sub and checked my depths on the box and the sub before I bought either. Well they dont mention you only have 7" on one side of the box so now it doesnt fit. It seems that no one makes a box for this sub to fit undermy seat (the magnet is 8.5" in diameter) sso I am going to learn how to do fiberglass..should be fun and turn out really nice.
