Default New Stereo and Sirius with PICS!

Today I finnaly got around to installing all of the stereo stuff Ive been collecting over the last few months. Everything works great Except that the sirius unit creates a buzzing noise in the system when its on. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? Heres what got installed today:

Blaupunkt Casablanca cd51 Headunit (thanks techno duck)
Polk audio 6.5" speakers (in rear)
Pioneer 4x6 speekers (in doors)
Alpine amp (powering polks)
Sirius Starmate 4 Satelite radio

anyway here's some pics:





sorry for the lack of cleanliness

That's pretty sweet, I must say...got any spare carpet from your seat delete? You might want to consider covering those speakers/amp form prying eyes..

No It stays where it is The wiring coming out of the back prevented me from laying it down any more. I can remove the unit grom its dock if I need to, Bbut I doubt I ever will need to. I took her for a drive when I was finished and it was never in my way.

A few more pics:






A preview of whats happening this weekend:

Thats pretty creative, I like it. why didn't you go with bigger speakers? or is that a future mod. And another suggestion, You might want to make it into a triangle, and cover up the amp and the back of the speakers. Not much more work for a much better look...

The speakers were original going to go in the stock rear openings but I was sick of stuff in my hatch area sliding forward and under my front seats. So I made a little barrier for it. It was then that I realised that the wall would be a great place to put a couple speakers and an amp. I have been thinking about making a cover over the back but I am pretty happy with it, as is.

I wish MY weekend looked like that...

Is the Sirius unit mounted where the front of the old console was?

You need to build a box around those speakers to enclose the back, otherwise you're pushing air on both the front and the back sides....there's a good reason speakers are in enclosures.

How did you get it to contour around the tunnel?
