Audio installation complete!

Scion Navigation System @ around 18 rms/channel
Alpine SPS-600C - Fronts
Boston Acoustics S65RC - Rears
Alpine PDX 600 - Mono Amp
Boston Acoustics G510RS 10" - Sub.

I finally finished my sound system by installing aftermarket front and rear speakers. The install took about 2.5 hrs. which isn't bad considering the modifications I had to make to the stock tweeter.

Enjoy the pics.

The mission, to reuse the stock bracket with the alpine tweeters...

All hacked up

Metal shears did the trick. Watch out for those sharp edges.

Looks great. The stockers are a POS arent they?

Alpine's PDX line is awesome. Small, efficient, under rated, cool(literally).

Nice!

The stock tweeter magnets were pretty heavy, but yes, they were paper cones at best. Lets see what a little bit of breaking in does for the alpine 6.5"

The video quality isn't that great because the mic on the camera picked up too much distortion to really show how clean the bass is.

Gotta love those PDX's when they're for sale as open box from Best Buy. Under 200 bones for a 500 amp. You can't go wrong.

Its alot easyer to get some blank plastic sheet & make your tweeter plate yourself, just my opinion. Then you can allways put it back stock.
