Installation Description

Had JVC Arsenal deck in '02 explorer and traded car after reinstalling factory components. Took all of about a minute to miss the JVC and its clarity from the factory stereo in the '07 300. Went to buy sub amp and ran into long time friend and stereo fanatic. He worked at a bodyshop and said his girlfriend was destroying his stuff and that he had an Alpine bought from Crutchfield he would part with because it would end up broken. That Alpine blew a G&S OD Redline 10" sub into pieces, and i had to pull out my Cerwin Vega 18" Stroker. Then I needed more power: the Memphis Class D amp. The empty holes in dash for 3-1/2" made perfect homes for the Rockford Fosgate speakers i had for about 10 years still in box. They are powered by the HK amp with in line crossovers. After blowing the rear 6X9's; I made wood plates with 3/4" MDF and a Dremel to hold the Bose 4-3/4" and Clarion 4" speakers. The Alpine power's them and the still-factory front doors.
