Installation Description

First and most important was running all the wires. After that was done, mount the brain for the DVD player, install the DVD player, wire the new speakers in the doors and rear panels, mount the amplifiers on the rear of the back seat, wire the suboofers up at a 1.33 ohm load, connect the 2.0 farad capacitor, get a good ground, reconnect the battery, turn it up and make anybody in a half mile radius deaf!My cardomain page has more details on all the work I've done. Everything was done at my house by yours truly.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2041829

Scorecard by Crutchfield

Sound profile:
Warm
Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.
Neutral
A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.
Bright
Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
