Default Stereo install progress pics!

My install is coming right along. The front speakers are in the kick panels and have been mounted in the car. I have als ran the wires under the door sills and cut the stock metal bezel for the DIN unit. I hope to get the head unit in today but I have to go back to work tomorrow so I probably want finish till the weekend. I still have to mount the amp and the sub in the back. Thanks to Matt (DB) for help on the component setup and answering my on going stupid questions...

The head unit is a Kenwood Exceleon 791. I "think" it was $169. The amp is a Cadence TXA3004 4 channel amp. Both peices I got new from ebay. The amp is running $109 + $20 S&H on ebay right now.

I'm running the same amp and their 6" component speaker kit. Their Cadence ebay store is their Cadence Premium Outlet http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductC...idCategory=124 Best prices I have been able to find anywhere and they ship super fast. I got mine the next day with standard ground shipping but I am also in Jersey. But they seem to ship it out very quickly. They prefer to use ebay as their online ordering instead of something on their website.
You should be pleased with their products. I tested my system out and it sounded great. Just finishing the engine wiring this week so hopfully soon I'll let you know how it sounds on the road.

Yep that is where I was going to buy my amp but I waited to long and they were out of stock on the 3004.:o I wound up buying from Mardens Online ebay store. It was the same price but Cadence offered free shipping when they had it in stock so I payed $20 more going through mardens.
