I thought I would start a thread tracking my install, I am doing the system myself. I am going for most bang for the buck, doing the system in two stages first stage. Power infrastructure, amp rack, and sub upgrade to factory Bose system.

For me the most important thing straight away is get some more thump, so I am doing the sub upgrade first. Then I will collect everything to do the full system change out, the most expensive part also so that will wait for now.

I have taken some pics here to show the progress, the sub upgrade is very easily DIY with minimal tear down.

To start with here is the factory bose setup.

Here is the amp rack making space for the new Alpine 1000watt mono amp.

Here is the new 150amp stinger 4gauge amp wire kit.

This is where I pulled the power wire through the firewall, there was a grommet behind the battery.

Routing the power wire, the door trim pulls up starting at the weather stip. Harder than I thought it would be.

Fishing for a power wire anyone? Got's to love the old fish tape, easily routed the 4gauge power wire with no problems.

No problem getting this wire through.

Finished product, need a little touch up paint on the bare patch.
