I was planning on running my 4 gauge through the driver side firewall and back to the wall behind the rear seats, but now I'm a little concerned that I may not have enough cable since the battery is on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

Thank you!

I finally got everything put in place and it sounds amazing. Can't imagine it, but it should sound better in a couple weeks when everything gets broken in. I did keep the original head unit and it sounds great. I am waiting until the new line of HUs come out at the begining of the year to see if I will replace that also.


My total cost was $701. $1 over budget

My Setup:

AMP MTX Thunder500.1 $140 Crutch
SUBWOOFER Alpine Sbr-s8-4 8" $148 Amazon
Speakers Kappa 682.9CF $159 Amazon
Amp MTX TD75.4 $100 Crutch
Pac PAC AOEM-FRD24 $34 Amazon
wire 6ga & 8ga Kits Knukon $120 Knukonconceptz

Keep in mind my object was to get great sound quality and good bass, rather than loudness. Both objectives were definately met including loudness. I definately recommend this setup to Everybody!!

I did run new quality 14ga speaker wire to all 4 door speakers and the kits from Knukon had just enough wire for everything!! The front doors were a PITA as I had to dremmel a little slot in the platic wireharness in the front frames to feed the speaker wires. The rears needed no altering. Took about 6 hours the first time, but if I had to do it again, it would be less than 2 hours
