Johnag Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Finally got it all in, I used a bracket a buddy of mine had and made the face plate out of mdf. Then I veneered it with burled walnut. I think it turned out pretty well, just not sure how I feel about the woodgrain between the two plastic pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the woodgrain looks fine Not to bust your chops, But the new deck looks out of place like a deer in the headlights. It's your choice so I respect it, But ???? Hmmmmm !!!!!!!!!

The project is kind of on hold until I get a new alternator in there, right now it can barely handle the amps for my components, much less the sub when I get that in After the alternator and sub, i'll probably go for the double din Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna go for the sienna 150 amp alternator, it apparently bolts right on. I'm hoping all I will have to do is splice wire harnesses. I think the 1500 rms that's going into the car is kinda pushing 130 amps. Highoutputalternator.com quoted me 640 dollars for a 180 amp alternator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
