Default new, but rough install





some may ask. why boss - because thats what i can afford - sounds great for now - although the deck is a jvc kd-sh909
need to buy carpet (wont happen for two to three months - sigh), finish up taping and setting the wires to their proper place, take out the bun and install the dvd player and screen :D
heres what you see:
BOSS -
Ripper -695 -250W RMSX2 (1400 peak), and ripper-795 150W RMSx4 (1200 peak) amps
Ripper-100dvc -Fat Surround DVC 10" woofers
Ripper-694 6x9s replaced the Bose in back
Ripper-Neo-622 6.5' in the front door (cant see those in the pics)
(2) Boss Caps 10-b
and going to install the dvd player and screen where the Bun is
Rewired the entire thing - what a pain in the butttttttttttttttt!

How much space do those subs have?

Looks pretty clean, even if it is Boss stuff. :cheers:

Let us know how it sounds.

I did a similar install in my 85, those storage compartments are suprisingly large, at least in mine they are. I put a 12" in the drivers side, measured out to be about 1.2 cu.ft. Might not be optimal, but really does sound pretty good, and with carpeting can be almost a "stealth" install. I hid my amp in the passanger-side compartment.

can we see the 6.5's in the door? Would love to take a look at that part of the install.
