Ok so here we go im finally starting the install in my girls 08 gts w/sss that i have been waiting for almost 2 months to do. im sure the stock system would be plenty for my girl but part of the good deal we got on the car was having a system that the previous owner had tore up. apparently he tried to redo the whole thing but failed misseraby. after i got the door panels off i found that he had some pioneer 4-way speakers in the doors as well as a set or pioneer tweeters. he even had the door speakers mounted with drywall screws. I started this project last weekend but i was rushing to get stuff in so i had to wait to to post till now. here is the laundry list of suff i will be putting in:

*40 sq. feet dynamat extreme (done)
*1.25 gallons spectrum (halfway done)
*1 Rockford Fosgate 12" P3SD212 shalow mount sub
*1 pair RF T162s component speakers for front doors (done)
*1 pair RF T162c coaxial speakers for rear doors (done)
*1 RF T400-2 driving the sub
*1 RF T400-4 driving all door speakers
*1 RF 3sixty.1 sound processor so i can keep the factory navi
*1 custom fiberglass enclosure for sub and tweeters made by me. (in process)
*1 Monster cap
*enough monster cable to wire the whole system up properly (wires are ran just need them hooked up)

i must say that his install is taking much longer then i thought it took a whole day just to get the interior out. plus one unexpected trip to the mitsu dealer cause i broke the fusable lisk trying to get the battery out. i have all the dynamat in finally and the trunk has 1mm of spectrum on it. i decided not to go crazy on the sound deadening i just didnt seem worth it to do multiple layers of mat and gallons of spectrum. instead i decided to make sure the electronics sound good. i have been takeing pics along the way as best i could but i get cought up in the work sometimes and forget to take them. il post up what i have as soon as i get them hosted and have time.

 

Sounds good, post pics!

and the tweeter pods for the doors


i have the car about 80% put back together cause the girl needed it so ill post pics of the wiring under the hood as soon as i can get some.

 

got the doors speakers all installed and hooked up today. put them in with 8 screws so those puppys are not going anywhere.

and the t 162s's minus the tweeters, im still working on the pods for those.

 

very nice. I wish I had the patience to do crap like this.......looks fun.

 

^ it is alot of fun i just wish it was cooler while i was working. i have been having a blast doing it all. wish i could be lucky enough i do it as like a side job or something. maybe when its all done i can hit some shows or meets or something i dunno thats prolly just a pipe dream though lol.
