Got it from JB iirc. If I was to do it all over again I'd go with the Alpine unit, the 660..can't beat it imo.For an amp again I'd go with Alpine, it's a great brand but it may be too pricey (may be bias I love their stuff lol). As others have mentioned in other threads, Jaycar do some pretty good stuff at very reasonable prices so they should have something for you!

I'll most likely mount the 660 later on the back of lhs back seat with the 2 amps in the same predicament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits just nicely, my one anyway, a different sized one may or may not still fit! But all the speaker wires are there RCA's..I have ran 2 sets down to the rear for if I ever run an amp for the speakers and if I ever did, I'd need to run more of course for the front, but alot shorter due to LOC being up the front of the car. 1 set per speaker Did you run new speaker wires to the fronts or just chop in?

Just ran RCA's down to the rear so I don't have to pull everything apart if I ever changed them. If I was to change the fronts yes of course I'd change the wires. 12g wire I think is what gets used mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily big enough.I CBF digging around and finding the speaker wire loom so Ive just hooked it straight up to the speaker cable at the speaker pos. In the door which goes to the converter then back from the amp to the door again to the new speaker.Bit of a brainless way of doing it but at least I know it'll work when it's all done. Not much fun feeding it thru the rubber grommet in the door but it's doable, even in bad light. Can't wait to have it all done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference would be awesome but a pita of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
