Quite a pile of parts started building up.
Although it's technically "DIN" sized, I found the opening needed some serious massaging to actually fit a DIN sized stereo. Hand built! There was some junky 90s DIN stereo in there before but it was kind of wonky and didn't fit properly.
Thankfully there were plenty of holes pre-drilled and plugged in the firewall and I was able to easily run a power wire for the subwoofer.
Hooked it to the headlight washers spot since I don't have those anyway.
Although everything I read said 6.5" speakers would fit, these ones didn't exactly sit flush. But I didn't butcher the doors anymore than the previous owner did with some small screw holes. I never like to make big modifications to cars just in case.
In contrast the deck speakers fit without issue.
My rear defogger doesn't work and I suspect this is why. Anyone know where these wires should go?
Sub neatly tucked under the seat. I did not drill through any carpet - it's solid mounted at the front but sits on the carpet in the back. Seems secure enough.
Works! Sounds amazing too.
Sit back and enjoy some tunes.
