Default Stereo Install



I willbe installing the following and will be taking pictures of each step... just figured I'd let everyone know:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Alpine CDA9811
<LI>Knukoncepts Battery Terminals
<LI>1/0G from terminal to digital dist block (2 80A ANL fuses)
<LI>2 sets 4G from digital dist block back to the trunk on either side
<LI>2 4G-8G fused (40A) dist blocks on either side
<LI>3 sets RCA right down the middle
<LI>12G speaker wire to all four speakers</LI>[/list]

All of that will be done at once... then the following will be added next year:</P>
<UL>
<LI>1 more Alpine F240 amp (total 2)
<LI>1 more Alpine M350 amp (total 2)
<LI>2 Alpine 10" R series dual coil subs
<LI>4 Alpine 6.5" components
<LI>2 1F capacitors (mostly for looks... I know I know... but only $60 a piece and I think they look cool)</LI>[/list]

</P>


Critique as you see fit... I would like to know what everyone thinks of this setup. </P>

Never heard of anyone putting in 1farad caps. because they "looked cool" but I do know that if you plan on installing 4 amps that the caps. will help when you "drive" the system hard, nothing worse than seeing headlights dim because of the stereo drawing too much current. Anyway, the plan seems to layed out well, post pics as I know the install will be make or bresk the "look" of your system!!!

if it turns out the way that it's pictured in my head... then it's going to be show level... but if I screw it up... then I'm going to be pissed. <IMG src=smileys/smiley24.gif border="0">
