I have assembled the following equipment for my stereo install. I will update pics as I install the parts...
Headunit: Pioneer Premier DEH-P580MP Installed 12.27.06
Front Stage: Hertz ESK 165S Installed 01.23.07
These are made by a division of Audison, which is why I list Audison in my manufacturer section.
To install these, I made custom PVC adapters to use the stock holes and to decouple the speaker from the door skin. The doors are deadened with eDead as a mass deadener and a 1/8" aluminum-covered closed-cell foam made by a company called "Frost King." It is designed to be HVAC duct insulation, but it works great as a barrier membrane.
Amp: Xtant 404m (no link available) Installed 01.23.07
50W x 4 channels at 4 ohms. Currently, bridged to 50 x 2 and 200 x 1 into a 4 ohm mono load in the form od an Image Dynamics IDQ-10 subwoofer.
Subwoofer: Image Dynamics IDQ-10 SVC subwoofer in a sealed box. Installed 01.23.07
I am still working on the trunk...
I have also done the "Big 3" wiring upgrade with 1/0 gauge wiring. This involves running upgraded wiring from the battery to the alternator (fused) and upgrading the ground from the battery to the chassis and the engine block to the chassis.
