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...

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.![rockon](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/rockon.gif)

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.

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!
