audio setup for my 74 comet

well, its time to install some audio. this is my plan.
1 clarion vz309 head unit
1 soundstream 3sixty.2 sound processor
1 soundstream rubicon 600.4 for the highs and mids
2 soundstream rubicon 2x250 bridged one for each sub
2 jl audio 8w7 8" subs
4 cadence 6 1/2 components in the kick panels and 2 in the deck
i will build a box for the subs and rear deck speakers so the subs reflect off of the back glass and i can keep the sound out of the trunk.

already ordered all the wiring, and speakers. just have to get the amps and head unit.

 

kick panels are done and the head unit is installed, now to remove the carpet and lay all the wires.

 

sweet, would love to see some pics.

 

images so far

 

well the wires are in, head unit installed, wires are ran to the trunk.
carpet and front seats are back in. ready to build the sub box and back deck

 

well designing my sub box now. hopefully i will build it in 2 weeks.

 

how are those 6.5's held on to the kick panel and did you just cut the hole in them or did you have to do some reshape'n?

 

i used the old kick panel as a back, built a frame for the speaker to sit in. then fiberglassed the form and then bondo. and paint.

 

well, starting the sub box. going to reseal the back glass first so i don't get water on the back deck i finish. should be fun. purchased 2 of the sub amps, and only need the main speaker amp now. i will take pics, of my progress.

 

Hey Bomrat! the link you have here will not open for some reason. I am interested in viewing ur latest pix.

 

im working on my webserver, should be up this week.
been busy working on my speaker box. have the box done, and installed, put the vinyl on the deck. and the mids and highs installed, have the subs left to install. trying to get it done before the glass gasket arrives, so i can install the glass asap. really don't like having it exposed to the rain.

 

back deck - subs

here is my back deck so far, i still need to build a grill, and do all the panels and mount the amps in the trunk

 

Nice setup Bomrat. I know it will really rock when ur finished with it. Maybe you can give some details on how u built the enclosure. I need to do my reardeck covering. What are u using for covering urs? Can't wait to see it finished.

 

Did it blow out your rear window??

 

i took the glass out to reseal, and replace the gasket, figured that was a good time to build the speaker box
