190E
Sound system installed: 4 speakers, 8 tweeters and single woofer!! :)

The system is installed but, not finished. It hits but it needs some minor tuning here and there. I need to fix the trunk rattle, I need to screw in some of the speakers (it doesn't have holes for screws) and I need to make some connections between wires a bit stronger.

Anyways, here are the specs.
-Boston Generator 500w RMS 12" (as I posted in another thread). It really hits, I thought it wouldn't because its a brand i've never heard of..
-Kenwood 1000w 2channel KAC-929 amp.
-All around Pioneer 2-way's.
-Monster cabling for amp.
-Generic for speaker wire.

Im going to use socks and like ripped up towels to stop the rattling. It's lighter then Dynamat and it does the same thing. Dynamat is too pricey.
System: 90% installed.


Headunit: Being installed, Sony CMDX-5000x

Amp: Kenwood KAC-929 2ch 1000w

Woofer: Boston Generator 12". Hits pretty good for being a single. I like it.

Pioneer 2-way's all around. Being complemented by 4 1.5" tweeters all around.

I've been dampening the trunk to remove all of the rattling. So far ive covered the, top of the trunk, rear side fenders, license plate, some of the tailight. All I need is to somehow do the rear impact strip. That's the only thing left rattling.


Better picture of the box. Its very dirty, Ill vacuum it soon.


Retrofitting the speakers into the speaker holder. They weren't a direct drop in.

The stereo sticks out a bit.


The cap, I dont know how to mount it but my set up is holding up soo far.

Wiring up some tweeters.

Nice? They sound really good for being $5.

It doesn't look pretty but im more for sound then look.





Just for kicks, I swapped the engine for a 2.2L
