Adding onto my previous audio set up, and going to make it bigger, better, and more professional looking.
What i'm using:
2 12" pioneer championship series subwoofers wired to 1ohm in a ported box
2 memphis tweeters
2 planet audio tweeter (powered by radio)
2 pioneer 6x9 TS-A6966R
2 memphis 6x9 speakers
4 Pioneer ts-m650 pro 6 3/4"
2 pioneer ts-b350 pro 3" super tweets
1 pyle PLPW8D 8" sub (factory replacement)
1 Pioneer GM-D8604 amp
1 Pioneer GM-D8601 amp
1 Pioneer GM-A5602 amp
1 Soundquest SQB2000 battery
2 Soundquest SQCAP2M 2 farad capacitor
18ft Noico sound deadener
Multiple wiring kits

Started by removing my old set up

next I replaced the factory sub, the trim panel clips just rip off.

ended up tearing a hole in the new pyle sub on accident so I patched it with some black silicone

took the rear seats out, there are some bolts behind and under the seats you need to unbolt first.

took the first 3 door panels off, there are 3 bolts, one next to the door handle and two under trim panels. After doing so I took out the factory speakers and unscrewed them from their mounting plates. The speakers i'm replacing them with are actually 6 3/4" vs the oem 6.5". So I had to take a dremel with a drill bit and cut them down a bit.

some double sided tape for a nice airtight bond

then bolted them back in

I have two 3" super tweeters I mounted in the trim panel where the seat belt lays, I had to cut a rectangle out of the metal behind the trim to fit the tweeter and allow the belt to still move nicely.

Dont have pics of the tweeters in the panel, but will get some, they turned out really nicely.
mounted my amps on the rear side panels, originally tried to mount them on the rear doors, but it didn't workout well.

ended the day by running my rca's, running the wires from my front two memphis tweeters, and running wires for the rear driver door and super tweeter. When running the wires to the door speakers, I used a cut coat hanger and attached the speaker wire using electrical tape then forces it through the door grommet.

I also did the Big 3: 0 guage wire from alternator positive to battery positive, alternator negative to battery negative, and battery negative to chasis ground.

Got the 0 guage wiring ran to the 2nd battery, and got the subs in the ported box and wired them to 1ohm

added some butt connectors for when I want to take the doors off.

Got everything hooked up and working, then sure enough blew one of my subs. for the front speakers I ran the wires to the harness and used the oem speaker wire. It resulted in some high pitched whining and havent found the cure for it yet.
