Well, I still have to get everything in, but here's a few exterior pics. My car's an 86 Jag. She's got a Pioneer DEH-1400 head unit (45x4), two MTX 4000 12" subs (400w a piece), 75w Jensen 4" door speakers, and a 600w Legacy amp, painted jet black (mainly just to hide the brand). I'll be putting up pics of the system soon. Until then, here's a bunch of exterior pics. Also, please take the time to sign my guestbook! Thanks

UPDATE
Ok, My sub box is complete and ready to put in the car. It's carpeted to match (as close as possible to) the existing carpet in the trunk. I ran the RCAs (Monster Cables) which nearly took 90 minutes... (Anyone who has a Jag knows they can be a pain to do just about anything to) Anyway, I'll be running the 8 guage power wire this w/e, including the 30 amp fuse I got from Best Buy. I'll try to draw up some diagrams of everything "hooked" together, but it may be a little while. I can't wait to run that cable and be done with it. (Well, the audio at least. Next step is the video system, but that's a whole 'nother story)
Enough talkin, enjoy the pics. The shots of my test-fit of the box start on page 4. Enjoy, and be sure to sign my guestbook.

UPDATE
I kno I kno, long time no update. Been busy. Everythings been workin fine until about a month ago. My wonderful Legacy amp decided to die suddenly. So I got on eBay, and got a new Profile 800sx. (My subs are 800w total, and my old amp was only 600w...)I sent the money for it almost 2 weeks ago, and have yet to receive it. I haven't been ripped off, the seller was one of those "power sellers" with like a million positive feedbacks. He may be honest, but he's slow as hell.

Well I stayed up late a few nights ago and installed this awsome 80s-retro car phone that came with our '75 Jag (mentioned later on this page) There's no service to it, but it's installed, powers up, and looks great at night.

When my folks bought the car a few years ago, it didn't have a cigarette lighter. Once again, hopped on eBay and picked one up for $10. Pics of it, and the phone install can be seen, of course, on this page.

Enjoy, and remember to sign the guestbook...(over 2,000 hits and only 1 message? C'mon, gimme some feedback!)

nice front shot. Never mind the two wires sticking down from the bumper..the horn had been disconnected for a wile because it was busted. It's recently been replaced by two new ones.

Some of you may have notied the rims change from alloys to series II polished aluminium/chromes. The alloys came on the car, and we switched the rims with our '75 Jag (XJ6L). The tires from the '75 were too skinny, and they squealed and slipped when taking a corner.
Anyway, more pics to come..
