I thought I'd share what I'm doing in case anyone finds it interesting or useful, or better yet let me know if I'm doing anything silly. My wife bought this car new when she graduated college, it's pretty low mileage, but due to keeping it outside over the years in favor of my higher dollar cars occupying the garage, we had to get it repainted this year and they did an AMAZING job. I'm not taking on the interior, including a new audio system install so here goes.
My components:
-1 Pioneer MVH-S512BS Multimedia Player with Bluetooth $105.00
-2 Morel Maximo 5C 5 1/4-Inch Coaxial Speakers for kick panels $119.00
-2 Sundown Audio SA-10 D4 REV.3 -10" Dual 4-Ohm 750W RMS SA Series Subwoofers $410
-2 TBD 4.5" or so speakers for behind seats $120.00
-2 Bavaudio replacement tweeters for doors $100.00
-2 Kenwood KAC-M3004 Compact 4 Channel Digital Amplifier, one bridged to kicks, the other to power the door tweeters and speakers behind seats. $242.00
-1 Kicker CX1200.1 1200W Mono D Audio Amplifier to power subs $279.00
-1 Trunk mounted sub box from Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/657674...k-dual-10-subwoofer?ref=listing-shop-header-3 $195.00
-Misc supplies, wiring, fusing and distribution blocks $100.00
So the total excluding my time is under $2000 for a system I'm sure would cost me around 3 times that if I used an installer.
She gets the garage now. Removing the seat helped a bunch.
Custom remote turn on harness to to turn on all 3 amps
Stacked the 2 Kenwood amps using existing factory amp mount!
I managed to mildly smash in both of my new tweeters by letting them dangle in the doors. They crushed from just mild pressure of the door not even closing all the way as I would more it to walk by. I may have to get another set, I'm gong to try to fix them first.
Passing the speaker wires through to the trunk was easy. To get the RCAs through I'm going to drill a small hole and use a grommet.
