Tweeter mounting, much better than stock location.



Everything mounted and ready to install.



Power wire run.



Mocking up wiring.



First power on test.



Speakers and new 16ga wiring installed.



Messy! Luckily hidden under the sub.



Everything installed.



Slight depth issue with mounting the head unit, had to cut out the mounting tab to fit.



HUMount kit.



Custom cover with integrated sub-grill crafted by NVTHIS. Good for security.




Very happy with it. Had to get used to a 10" sub on only a couple hundred watts, my old car had 2 12"s at 1000W. Tweeters needed to be attenuated about 3db.

Mine is not, but it is an option with lots of color choices. I might mod mine in the future with some LEDs.
