OK so I created a new thread since the one I was looking this morning was deleted somehow.

You just screw into the sheet metal to mount that camera? I don't think I could bring myself to doing that.

I was originally going to put it right over the 3rd brake and use those screws, but it looked terrible and I was unable to aim it where I really wanted it. It took a while to commit to drilling, tried double stick tape and it looked shi8y and wasn't sure how long it would last in the hot and humid N FLA climate. So since I intend on keeping it for as long as I have the truck, and really wanted it up high because I tow a trailer a lot for my business, I gave in and did it.
 
dgoll75,

How did you integrate the TRD logo into the upper brake light indicator? That looks sharp. I don't want to derail the thread, so you can PM me if you want.

Thanks!

Pioneer AVH-X1500 DVD

It sounds really good even with stock speakers. Plus interesting location on rear view camera. I don't want to drill the hole and video cable was also short. Rear view display is not too bad. Actually, It is better than my expectation :couch2:

Here is my setup ....


********* Alpine CDE-HD149BT Stereo | Installed Feb. 2014 (3 of 3) *********

This one:
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

* 4V Pre-outs (x6)
* No tilt :(
* Decent screen
* HD Radio Tuning Built In (sounds great!)
* High Quality (2013 version) BlueTooth Audio







******** Mounted my Nexus 7 (v2) Tablet *******

I used simple velcro to hold it in place

******* Wiring Install Pictures | How To *******












******* Speakers, Sound Deadening, and new wiring ******


Front Door Panel | 6.5" Infinity Kappa Speaker Set










Infinity Cross-Over Box - This comes with the speaker pair - Install in the door using 3M Double Stick Hardware Tape







Rear Speakers | 6x9 Kappas | Note: Don't do this, go with 6.5", my magnet is too big and prevents the window from going down all the way!





Here you can see the sound deadening material I used as a base layer. It is the cheap roofing material.










Installing The Front Tweeters

Installing the 2nd Layer Of Sound Proofing Material | Ensolite foam @ $20 yard | I bought 2 yards







 
Re-posting from the other thread...

The old set-up:

Ampere Audio 3800.1
SSA ZCON 18
Hertz HDP4
Lanzar 6PM's
CDT DRT-25's
160A Alternator
100Ah Interstate AGM Battery
Pioneer DEH-P9800BT

Currently no music, just a headunit, and tweeters.

Just got my Big 100Ah AGM installed under the hood (squeezed it right in there lol).

Pic right now.

What I've got to mess with for a set-up.

2 - JL 12w3v3's
2 - Kenwood KAC-7204's
Memphis M-Class 4-Channel

Keeping the 9800BT, this is the third one I've had, and I'm not selling it only to go and buy another later.

Not sure if I'll even put in any subs, going for minimum intrusion, and the spare tire, toolkit, and eventually 1st gen rollbar might make it plain impossible, but they're all staying.
 
Thank you everyone for posting in this thread. This is a hell of a lot of responses for a thread < 12 hours old.


Re-posting from the other thread.
Yes. Why it was deleted is still a mystery to me.

I did see his install pics and was like wtf. But its no big deal really. Sure he cut up his door but so what. You can find new door panels at a scrap yard for probably $50 each.

It isn't necessary to cut new speaker holes in your plastic so I assume that's why people were giving him a hard time.

I still think he was a nice guy for starting a cool thread and I hope he posts here.

It seemed like it was done properly, he said he had the mid in a sealed enclosure, and the install wasn't really messy, just kind of strange to chop up your door panels, no biggie.

Only thing that really made me wtf was the crossover mounted to the outside of the door panel.
 
And the Bose speakers sitting on the floor near the rear seats... But yea it's criticism he should understand when throwing it all out there... I did like the fact he had a 3 way setup in front
 
It was a good thread, here is my contribution (again)

Thanks for the idea on mic placement! I just installed an Alpine BT unit in my wife's Runner and I had been struggling with where to put it.
