Default My 6140, Focal, Image Dynamics, Alpine install

First off thanks to everyone who helped me out with questions on equipment selection and install. Appreciate everyone's help! So here's what I went with.

Kenwood DNX6140
Alpine PDX4.100
Focal Access 165A1
Image Dynamics 12" IDQ Sub
Zenclosures
eBay Camera

Haven't listened too much with the new setup but so far sounds great!!! It's nice to have a nice sound system, Bluetooth, and rear view camera again. Since there's several threads on how to install a HU I just have want to post up a few pics of things that I didn't notice was posted before.





i decided to mount my mic in the middle to help avoid wind noise with the windows down.


i ran the power line through the rubber grommet that is next to the battery. placed the fuse box on top of the battery underneath the tray. fits great!


ran all the wires from the HU to the rear down the middle next to existing lines.


fabbed up tweeter mounts from 1/4" plastic my friend had.


mounted the crossover behind the kick panel cover.


zenclosures spacers worked great! one side that's pre-trimmed goes towards the front of the car.


to install new speaker wire you have to remove the door connections on the body of the car. to do that you press down on the little tab on the side. (where my thumb is pointing)


then you just pull down the lever. need to close the door slightly to pull down the lever all the way and it'll pop out!


after you pop it out then you pop out the white piece inside the car. pull the bottom out and it'll come out. drill a hole on the empty side (mine is non-bose) and then run the speaker wire through there and reinstall. reinstall the white piece by putting the top in first and the bottom will snap in easily. to reinstall the gray lever just pull the lever all the way down and push it in then pull the lever up.

no pic, but i put the amp underneath the passenger seat. the pdx 4.100 is pretty small so it fits well down there.
