Custom 2 way speaker install, pics

If someone wuz intersted of making a custom install, this wuz the way i did it.
I used a DSL 2-way system (tweeters and mid-bass speakers) with crossovers.

It SOUNDS BEUTIFULL !


1. First take this out of your car and cut the plastic box out

That's pretty slick, dodo_croatia. Well done! :D

I'd like to move this to the DIY (Do It Yourself) forum, but doing so will break all your picture links, so I'll have to tackle it when I have more time.

Wiring for the above

How would you wire the speakers in the custom set-up? Could you just power them from the existing amp under the rear deck? Sorry if this question is a bit lame.

I think that bose amp is not enough powerfull to handle the custom system, but it is possible. I have conected them to bose amp to see if they even work before putting my amp, sound wuz not good.
