That looks really familiar I have the same deck in my 89 running speaker level to a Kenwood KAC-8405 which provides 60 WRMS X 4. I did some work to the sail panels and created an enclosure to accommodate a pair of Kenwood KFC-XW800F 8" woofers from the Excelon series. With the fabric over the sail panels, you'd never know there's an 8' woofer in there except for a little deeper bass than a 6X9. I'm also using the AUX input on the back of the head unit to play the audio from a satellite receiver.







I have future plans to install JL Audio's Clean Sweep signal processor, hence the space in front of the amp on the board.

just wish i was brave enough to change the color of the head unit to yellow instead of white.

Here's the system in my car, One 12" Kick comp dual coil 400 rms 800 max, 8 ohm wired just to make sure I don't miss any beats. A Crunch 1100 watt 2 channel AMP with two 6x9 Sony Xplod speakers. (I'm going to be replacing them with some higher watt Kenwoods soon.) And a Kenwood deck. Spent about 500 or so on the sub, amp ,speakers, deck, AMP wiring kit, and supplies for the box and shrink tubing. The box is a 2 inch ported and hits hard on the high notes but I can still hear/feel the low notes so that "What size should I make the hole and how long of a funnel" guess ended up being amazing. I'll be adding another kick comp sub on a separate box just so If I need the trunk space I can take one out and not be without subs. All in all I love how cheap and affective this sound system upgrade was and say Kicker is the way to go!

Upgraded the system in the Bird. It wont win any events, but it provides a much needed bass boost for the car.

Kenwood MP245 Deck
Kenwood Excelon X172 6 3/4" sail panel speakers
JBL 8" 800 watt Sub woofer
Crunch 1000 watt Amp
I may eventually upgrade the front dash speakers, but so far, stock speakers remain.

could be a bit cleaner but took me about an hour to make the box from some wood a i had laying around




as u can see its a vented box :P

Im running a JVC KD-LH300 Headunit that i LOVE! Been in the family for about 7 years now . Lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6zU1rNPKq8 Sorry i didnt have it louder,it was early in the morning:P And that little white strip on my sub box is a K.I.T.T light,didnt turn it on..dumb me

Hey man love your setup! had an off topic question,where'd you get your auto shifter from? Ive been looking for one like that

Sorry if im bringing a thread back from the dead. BUT!!!

How do you guys have your Amps mounted? Im afraid if i screw mine down its going to hit the gas tank...

I have mine on my box. Just make sure you dont screw anything into the metal in the rear.

Is there a benefit to mounting your subs facing down rather than facing up?

Nope.....it will sound the same.

It's just personal preference, although downward facing subs do look cool.

had to hack the pull down hatch locking mecanizm and fab up something but it fits and I use ear plugs

running a pioneer 200 watt head unit and 4 6" bolted into the 6x9 stock locating, and 2 xplod 4x6s in the dash sounds good enough for me plan on doing something "crazy" with it later though

Made my own box, just had to measure/cut/fit and trim it down till it set perfectly.
I'll find more pictures later on and in the sunlight if i can

nice work!

Is that a 12

Tell me what you guys think of what i have so far. Next is custom kick panels for the 6 1/2" 3 ways speakers I'm waiting on.

Looks good dude! What subs are those? And what seats are you running?

Amps are Vibe slick series
Subs are Vibe Black air series 10's
6x9 are Vibe slick series

Just need a good set of 6 1/2" 3 way components. Any suggestions?

Depends how much u want to spend
Jl fosgate kicker. Infinity are decently price
I need help with my system. Has anyone try putting two fosgate t2 in a camaro conv. Not sure if that to much power any input. I have been looking all over and can't find any post on this type of woofer in a conv.

That's awesome. A little to extreme for my vert

Is that a 12

Here is mine is simple but loud

How about a daylight shot of the radio install.

Looked at that unit for my 91 Formula & wanted to see how it fits in there.

IDK if the comment was for me but i'll take one tomorrow also I made a thread on how to make the double din Bezel without modding the old one cost me around 25$ to make

Yes that was intended for you.

I wanted to see how well it fits.

It fits really good I'll take picture in daylight tomorrow and post them up. Here is the thread on how to make it and here is a video of it but is dark, didn't have my woofers connected then the video is great in this unit .

Yes i know my rear hatch is abit dusty but its the first time the trunk has been opened since we lost the key








And my firebird has no radio or system currently

Kinda overkill for the rock I listen to, but the mids sound real nice through the subs. I went through three sets of dash and rear speakers before I found a set that was crisp enough.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/53106660@N03/6720161833/

What speakers were finally crisp enough for you?

Here I took Some picture but it was late






this one is in the afternoon

Well I finally have something to add to this post. What do you all think.

Pioneer deh 15mb
Pioneer 5500t 820 watt amp works out to be 190w continuous at 2 ohms
2 X Pioneer ts-w259d4 10 inch subs 1200 watt peak 350 continuous
pioneer 4x6 in the dash
? 6 inch in the qform kick panels
and I know phase linear 6x8's in the sail panels.
next is to replace all none pioneer speakers with pioneer

This is the first sound system i have ever done. I have never put one in a car like this before. the iroc metal plate glows orange. does anyone know how to get it to glow more tho. I heard sanding the plexi difuses the light more and makes it glow more is that true ?

I recently put a short vid on youtube ( kicker wall camaro) of the wall and some excursion if anyone wants to see.

Mines pretty simple 2 jl audio w3v3s with a 600 watt alpine marine amp not the loudest ive heard personally but loud enough for the police to say im disturbing the peace lol

Box could fit a little better but not too bad. This is right after I put them in, lookin a little messy. Two Kicker 12" 10C124 Subs and a Kenwood KAC-7205 amp. Definitely gets the job done. Now I want new amp/speakers for mids and highs and a new headunit

hey guys i got my third gen with no sound system what so ever and im looking to keep it hidden with just an aux port for my tablet other than the tablet id like the system to be as hidden as possible looking at maby a 10-12 inch sub any body got any ideas i completly suck at sound enginering lol

Here is a temp setup till I get my box made in the back. This is old school Kicker box with two 10inch does kick A$$ thought. Cheers

Almost all stock, very cheap mod




and the movie

my old system... Looks like crap but it was not a bad job for a 16 year old at the time

my well box

*Moved my comment to it's own thread

God I feel old. it's been a good 15 years since I saw a kicker box like that. Wish more of the old school stuff was around.

My Trans Am custom sub box I made looks and sounds great! Cheers....554080_10153291631415347_607610370_n_zpsff9e277e.jpg?t=1381675250

Hey everyone. I'm new to this board & trying to post pics of my system but as you can see I have only gotten one to upload. The rest of them failed...... lol
