I have all pioneer speakers as well
Clarion head unit

I have 5 and a half inch speakers in my dash in place of the old ones i had because the passenger side went dead on me, and it didnt sound right with two different speakers.

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
This was in my 91' Formula 350 I had.
I had two Kicker 12" subs mounted flush in the rear(custom built box). Boston acoustics mids/highs. I had 3-Kenwood amps and a Kenwood crossover mounted in the spair tire compartment. I had a Kenwood 10 Disc changer mounted in the small compartment in the rear on the driver side. All equipment was hidden except for the radio, eq, and subs. Sounded very nice!

When you are replying to a thread click "go advanced" and then in the tool bar at the top of the box you should see a attatchment option. Click that and it will bring up the page to add your pictures!

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
I built this box custom to drop in to my 91 camaro "trunk" i built it about 3 years ago so i do not know the specs sorry. Sounds very good tho so if someone spends the time like I did to measure out their trunk its worth it

7.5" in dash and 12.5" flip down - yes it is in front of my rear view mirror
The amp box with the two 6.5" speakers will have a large bow tie cut in to it with plexy glass over it and back lit with orange lighting to accent the car.
Sub and amp box unfinished in picture I am currently sanding and prepping them to be painted the same color as the car

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
Kinda pointless to have that screen mounted to the roof no? 2ndgen seats look cool but you removed the airbag steering wheel, isn't that illegal?

How did you wire the 12.5 screen in place of the factory dome light and how hard was it?
Very Knight Rider screen set up you have there. You cant have too many screens just like Stargates!!

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
The seats are out of a third gen an 85 4 banger stock. The TV isnt pointless I put it in a place where I could see it too. And ya the steering wheel is illegal but I dont care a lot of stuff I do with my car is illegal.
I agree you can never have to many screens

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
My 12.5" is right in front of my rear view mirror I left the stock dome light in place. I put it there so I could see it too, and I put in a playstation 2 3yrs ago when they were still cool but I still like having it in there.

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
The screens look good and it is a good Idea if I was to do it i would build them in to my stock visors because I dont like the store bought pre made look but Im sure you could get some kind of stock upholstry done to it.
I would go with whatever you like the best you have to look at it everyday. Either way im sure it will look good.

Re: Speakers on FIRE!!!
My first love was a 87 Mec Sable. I painted it jet black, limo tinded all windows, red inter lights, Added More red lights under the dash by driver and pass leg area, 2 big moroso stickers on rear window(No Moroso parts on car), had 2 6x9's inside a SHOE box on floor by center console, 2 8" home audio speakers from the early 60's mounted on balsa wood for the rear..........This car was BAD A**............lol
A buddy of mine while camping, set my front speakers (6x9's) on FIRE.....When we were packing up and leaving he spilled some water out of a cup and onto my speakers(i was outside by camp sit/ did not see him spill). So he used his lighter to dry speakers, I came back to the car, he looked up at me and that's when the speaker lit up in flames. He beat the flames ou with his hands and towel......Damn speakers still worked.

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
nice setup man nice and clean i like how you built everything right up to the back seat and mounted the amp on it. Just for reference they tell you not to mount the amp on the box, i dunno if yours is or not, but they say it vibrates stuff loose in the amp. just a heads up

Re: post pics of your stereos/systems
I love seeing people spend tons of money for a custom enclosure and stuff just to throw some xplods in them. I only run brand name. Kicker 12's right now. Also, caps don't do anything for audio. Trust me
