HU: Kenwood 6709s 50x4 @4ohm w/ idata maetro thing
Amp: Apline MRV-300
Door speakers: Alpine SPR-50 (2 ways)
Dash: Alpine 1" silk dome tweeter
3.5" i dont know what kind yet recommendations?
Back panel: Alpine SPR-69 6x9 2ways

Im going to run the amp through the stock wiring and have the dash and 6x9's run off the head unit. I think the head unit should be able to push enough power but if they can't them im going to run them off of the amp since i will have 2 open channels left that i was going to use for sub expansion later.

For this set up i will have to fabricate a mount for the back panels so im wondering what i should use. i was going to do wood but if you guys have any better ideas let me know.

Also im going to have to do some sound dampening but i havent figured out what im going to use.

Hopefully pictures and install video will follow. (dont count on the video to much)

Thanks


I would recommend on the doors and dash just get a component set like the spr-50c or 60c, you'll save heartache in the end. then bridge the amp to them, or not, either way you'll save heartache.


The 3.5s in the dash are technically optional. I have been playing with mine for awhile now, but long story short mixing front drivers will lead to challenges in getting it to sound right. unfortunately good 3way sets are very expensive :<. I have 3.5s but I don't think im going to use them again unless I go full active.


for the rear, 3d printing is an option too, if you know anyone with a printer. there's even a thread somewhere around here where someone posted stl files for 6.5 brackets for the rear. otherwise yea, plywood works, seen other builds with it.
