Install in the teggy so far

[Electrodynamic 2]

Yep. Topic says it all. I've basically just ran all the wires and installed the head unit (25'th anniversary Alpine). The Tara Labs RCA's are the absolute $hit. Ask Hoss, he was here today. Anyway, on with the pics.

The pics may not show up in order (it sorts them alphabetically I think) but you can get the idea.

Those RCA's look so nice.

Nice car Chevy.

And I just found out that even though the teg has adapter plates for the Kappa 6.5's that are installed - the Koda's won't fit. So instead of making adapter plates I went ahead and wired the Kappa's in with the TL Omni wire. Haha. I really don't feel like making more adapter plates this week (had to do the same thing in the Del Sol) because there is so much more to do in order to get subs in there. Needless to say the Kappa's have the best wire any Kappa has ever had on it. This, of course, is only temporary.

Thanks

I changed my username from ss3079 to this one ... seems more fitting.

I'm interested in how you're going to mount the drivers and amps

[Electrodynamic 2]

You and me both.

Did you use the gromet directly behind the battery ?

That carpet sucks to pull up, has that stupid plastic liner on it.

I had to modify my froends doors to get the DLS MS6's in. Not to mention the 3/4" baffles i had to do.

The wire will pop out of the paneling, its a tough squeese.

If you dont want rattling then remove the HVAC flap on the left side. It flaps like a mo fo when the bass hits.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nope, 0 gauge won't fit through it. I had to drill another hole below that.

[Supa_c 1]

I used 4ga, fits like a glove. Didnt look like it would take 1/0 to well

those interconnects are so bootiful.

Tara Labs did an exceptional job on the RCAs. Nick and I even unscrewed the end caps to peek inside and the craftsmanship was excellent.

I'm excited to see what Nick brews up by the weekend

That's just beautiful. I think you should do something a little more custom on the HU though. I'm not a fan of the average "kit" install. Of course I don't know how the dash is either.

I have free time if you want me to make some adapter rings for you. Just let me know what you need.

I like the old school alpine.

keep the pix comming

[splblazer98 1]

need more wire

[Electrodynamic 2]

Got the Koda's installed at just the turn of 11:00 PM. Soldering the Omni onto the tweeters terminals is touchy! I also had to make adapter rings for the Koda 6.5's b/c apparently the Koda's will not fit into any stock 6.5" location (on Honda's/Acura's).

[Electrodynamic 2]

Anyone wanna buy the Kappa 6.5's I yanked out of the doors? $25 for the pair.

[Supa_c 1]

They sound alright ?

mounting depth plz

[Electrodynamic 2]

Yeah, they sound alright. I tested both of them in free air (with my ear close to the cone also for bass, etc.) and they're fine.

I've also got another pair without tweeters. I suppose the previous owner used them for midbass. They're in the rear speaker locations of the car right now. Throw in another $5 and I'll include those also. Or hell, just pay the extra for shipping them and they're yours.

Mounting depth is a hair under 2.75"

[Supa_c 1]

To deep

stupid suburban doors !

[Tirefryr 1,742]

You need a router my friend.

[Supa_c 1]

Yes I do, but that wouldnt solve anything

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Yes I do, but that wouldnt solve anything

I was speaking to Nick and his lovely jigsaw marks.

I LOVE perfect holes!

[ngsm13 1]

Why didn't you use some fancy SI components?

I love the 307's.
