October 10, 200915 yr Author well, only got one door done, to get the wire to the door I had to undo the outer door trim and the inner window channel so that I could remove this plastic piece from inside the door and unplug the harness. pull the wire out of the door, remove door and the inner fender to disassemble this plastic thing and run the wire.I got the deck in and wired up and into the iso tray adapter deal but something was holding it up from going in easily and it was dark so I just left it til tomorrow.I listened to it cranked for a while and the voltage at the sub amp always stayed in the 13's, except for on a certain tone (that really wasnt audibly loud at all...) it would drop to 12.9 for a second. sub amp was still cool to the touch and the comps amp was just barely warm. I dont have the sub amp cranked though because I still need to figure out what tone is what on the cd I burnt.right now I have the HPF and LPF both at 80 on the deck. I had it at 63 for a while, and while the comps do alright with those notes, the subs do them much more justice.and with only 1 side of speakers working it is pretty loud/clean without the subs. I did set the xover to -3d for the tweets, and I like it much more than when I tested them the other day.heres a couple videos, they suck because its dark and not even the dome light was enough for the camera to see anything.some day they will come back apart and Ill sand/paint them because the vinyl didnt turn out like I wanted.

October 10, 200915 yr Author only one video, I watched em all and they all suck, this is the best of the bunch and its still crap pretty much.the clicking is the f'd up power antenna Edited October 10, 200915 yr by ppiflat10s
October 11, 200915 yr Author gotta take the drivers door panel off and see what that tweet isnt making any sound. its pretty loud, and the back seat gives you a real nice massage. no roof flex or anything crazy but you can barely see the door pushing out. and on some songs the rear view mirror is absolutely useless and changes its angle by itself, ratles like hell too. I set it by ear first and the subs sounded fine, but I was giving 250 RMS subs 400 a piece so I cranked it back and now they are getting around 250-275 a piece.Im downloading a bunch of songs from the "spl show off" section, but this is just off some music I already have on the thumb drive.video up in a minute.

October 11, 200915 yr Author I checked your build logs and from just a vent, a taillight shot, and one of the bottom of part of the side I cant be sure on what car you drive, Im guessing grand am, anyways, this might be it, if not just go to his other items and search for your car.I got my notice that they tried to deliver it (way out in the country so boxes are at the beginning of the road out here, and the tint didnt fit, so instead of installing it today, im waiting to get it on monday after work and then install it tuesday. after I get it in(or just attempt to) Ill let you know if they do fit like they sat they should.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac-Grand-Am-2-Dr-1992-1993-1994-1995-PreCut-Tint_W0QQitemZ180284861285QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item29f9d0ab65
October 11, 200915 yr Author DAMN!!! I took the crossovers and switched them and the pass. door still worked and the drivers didnt. so I took the tweet out of the drivers door because I thought maybe it was a bad connection at the point between the wires to the xover, and the hardwired wires from the tweet, and then just touched the tweet wires to the output at the xover and no go, so just as a last resort I went to the other side door, and touched it to that xover and still nothing. so its the tweet. or the wiring inside the case(but I cant get in there). so now I have to email the seller and see if I can just send the tweet only in and have them open a package and swap them out and do whatever they do with their returned merchandise.

January 15, 201015 yr i like your idea of door speakers. makes me want to do my doors like that, how did you secure the glassed part to the door? ever get your tint figured out? was it quality, or just cheap ebay stuff? ive been shopping around for some, just been sketch about buying precut...
