I just had my full audio system installed. I started to tackle my speakers and such, but decided to go to the audio shop to do it. In the end, they supposed offered me a good deal...sooo. It's pretty generic, nothing fancy with custom boxes...(would've cost too much to ship to HI and a pain when I need to ship the car back). Anyway, I have the following installed:

HU: Kenwood DNX 7140

Amp: Alpine PDX 5

Front Speakers: JL C5-650

Rear Speakers: JL C2-350x

Sub: JL Audio CP108LG-W3v3

I know that rears aren't needed, however, the manager was giving it to me for an extra $60 which included wires/install. So, I decided to take it...can't hurt for that price.

Youtube link demo of video quality...welll attempt to.

Again, nothing fancy...and that little sub is THUMPING! I laughed when the store recommended it, but I stopped when I heard it after it was install

Where did you go to get the work done?

Nice set up, How do you like those C5's so far

Nice! Simple is good!!:tup:

Nice and simple I love it! I was expecting some thumping though :D

did you end up using the metra kit for the trim piece?

Car Audio Specialist. I think they have a place by you as well as in town. Just remember, they don't do custom boxes or anything like that.

So far, I love it. I'm no audio enthuaist, but these speakers amazing! Not sure if this the HU or speakers, but when playing music, I can hear certain instruments clearly and distinct.

No, the OEM trim piece fitted just fine. I believe that's more for the Bose because the faceplate is integrated with the trim.

Do you know how they did the tweeter mounting? These look like nice speakers but I can't picture how you'd mount the tweeters without cutting up the factory tweeter overlays..

I'm not sure..I know they didn't use the oem overlay because I have both OEM ones intact.
