Hey I am adding a 5 channel alpine sub and am wondering if there is any best way to run the cableing, not sure how I am going to run the stereo cable from the cd player to the amp, havent tried ripping the car apart to find a place for the wires. Also anyone have a suggestion on a good sized sub to put in the trunk and any ideas on a box (best size, etc) Also needing a new muffler as my old one pooped out on me and now the car has some actual roar when you gun the engine. Mine is a newly repainted and converted to springs 89 LSC titanium finish. I am gonna sink near a grand in the sound system for the car just for kicks. Otherwise I need to replace the top of the dash (cracking, any ideas for ways to get a new one?) and need to recover the seats or something. Other than that I may get into suping up the engine some since its all stock. ANy ideas welcome, pics on the way soon.

Amp is in and its all rockin. Pics this weekend once I organize the trunk situation better, put a 12" sony sub in the trunk. Alpines 5 1/4's in the front and for the temporary sony 6*9s in the rear. An alpine v12 5 channel amp is powering everything.

I got to drill through the firewall! hurray!

Aw shoot! You're supposed to take pictures before, during , and then after if you plan to be a true Motorhead Nerd like us. Most of the time, peopl;e chop or tap into the wrong wires.

How are you supplying power to this set up?

I read two books (from cover to cover) about building your own sound system and i`m still not sure if I want to do it myself. I strongly recommend using some professionals if You want to achieve a decent result.If you really want to do it yourself, read a book by M.Rumreich "The car stereo cookbook". I would say its one of the best.If you ask about wires then i would say run signal wires separately from power wires to lessen the risk of el. noise. Good luck
