    Just hooked up my sister's car...

    I spent the entire weekend, about 15hours installing all this crap so i hope she's happy

    For my sister's 19th b-day my dad bought her four 6.5" Boston Accoustics FX 2-way speakers and an Alpine 4channel 360w amp (40w rms per channel) i picked them out for him to buy.

    So i installed the speakers and the amp to her stock cd player, her car is a 2002 Saturn SL2, the stereo actually isn't too bad for stock.

    So it sounds great, but it needs some more bass.

    So i decide i will be extra nice and rip out the stuff outta my truck.

    So in about 2 hours i installed my JBL 150w rms mono sub amp and Alpine 10" type-s sub.

    I used my truck box, i'll be making her a box for her trunk... i hate subs in the trunk but i guess thats the only option.


    So now she has a really kicking system, i have a horrible headache, and i can actually move the seat back to a comfortable position in my truck!

    The install, if i might add, was beautiful. I had to raise the driver's side seat a good inch and a half to fit the amp under with full seat movement. I of course ran all of the wire underneath trim panels so you can't tell that it has any sort of system unless you get down and look under the seats. The sub amp is under the passenger's side seat, which didn't have to be raised. Amps are screwed down and secure, everything is pretty.

    Wow. It sounds good. Needs a better sub though. I'm thinking a JBL 300w mono amp and two JL audio W0's, either 10" or 12". That would be killer.

    I'm tired.


    My truck is louder than yours. A lot louder.

      just the sub and sub amp... not much.

      i told her she could use it until she gets new subs + amp.

      I need the leg room anyhow... and i dont wanna break the amp during the summer. Gunna be workin hard in the dirt and mud.

        No offense or anything, but the Boston's almost costs more than the car It sounds like she has an awesome setup, but i'd really replace the CD player with an Alpine or Eclipse unit to take full advantage of the Bostons and the Alpine amp. Saturn uses cheap amp units in their factory stereo's so it probably has alot more distortion than an higher end player. But that was really cool of you to do that.

          she's planning on getting a new cd player, just doesn't have the money yet.

          she's also gunna get another amp+sub(s) when she gets the dough

          Haha, you're right, the car is made from recycled soda bottles and soup cans it does have a gigantic inline 4 though

            To heck with the box for the trunk, just mount the subs to the back of the rear seat. Use the trunk as the box. Oh and good choice for subs JL's kick

            Edit: Go for the 10w3's DVC
