Default Rear Seat Delete OB Stereo Mod

Well, a couple of months back I decided to redo the stereo system. I had most of the compoents but certain things were bothering me like:
- Needed quicker access to fuel pump area
- Needed better access to amplifier settings and controls
- Needed better air flow for amplifier
- More consistent/professional look
- Better power and ground wiring

Additional requirements included:
- Wanted to make sure my new design still allowed for a set of clubs in the trunk or a couple of suit cases, gym bag etc for travel.
- Still able to push seats and recline back (90% reclinability)

So here's what I came up with ...

Two Orion Amplifiers (One is HCCA 1 OHM 800 Watts)
Two MB Quart 10s
4 Pioneer 4" Two-Ways
2 3-way Component setups for the rear delete area
1 2.4 farad Cap
Alpine MP3 Head Unit
Upgraded the OEM positive battery connector with Phoenix Gold Multi-In/Out 4 Connector





Next Step is to finish off the door speakers -

After that - I'm done...move on to refinishing the dash...

The one thing I haven't touched in my car is the stereo. I have the RMB quartz music system...

Wow, what's holding your windows in?

That setup must really CRANK!

Honestly, it's a bit much for my taste, but it does suit all of the requirements on your list and it's your car so if you like it, I say ENJOY.

I saw Brad's work in person at the Taj Ma Garaj outing in Dayton last weekend and it was really tastefully done with a lot of attention to detail. I wish I could do that kind of work. Maybe someday.

Andy thanks for the kind words!! However, I'm envious of the fantastic electronic speed avoidance gadgets that you have!!

LOL - thanks ade! A small slit in the carpet where a pre-cut circle in the wood allows me to pull up the panel to expose the battery/spare tire area!

Hey, it looks great and I'm sure it sounds awesome, but where's the room for the golf clubs you talked about?
