Very nice. I am still debating what I will do with mine when the interior is done.

I love my Image Dynamics horns in my truck. May be putting a pair in the 914 too.

Worked on the stereo today. I mounted the DD5 into the center console. I want everything to remain hidden as much as possible, but I also need to see the window on this unit. This is the result...

Then the cradle for the EQ.

I had the center cushion recoverd by a local shop, made a custom tray to bolt to the chasis. This is the perfect location for an EQ and it was a perfect fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Got the Console wired last night. OMG was that a lot of wires. I ran all cables as far as the engine bay, then I got really tired. Way too much splicing and crimping and squeezing when the temp in my garage is 20 degrees. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But I am ready to work on the rear trunk and engine bay next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

sorry about pic quality, As you can see... you cannot see anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/elvira.gif)

for that nice 125amp alt you should use the correct pulley with the built in fan so it draws the cooling air our of it. They were on 75-79 Westy buses.

Ha! I was wondering if you found any the other day.
My recollection of Tweeter was that they sold the same crap as Best Buy, but charged a ton more for it anyway. Probably better off that they closed.

the fan did not clear the sheet metal, i could have modified the metal, another member here did it, but i have been running this alternator since i installed it with no problems (knock on wood) I spoke to other members during my install who did the same thing, just swapped pully's and they said no problem.

are you thinking i might have a longterm problem, i really am not wanting to chop up my engine tin. I did install a new gasket on the front of the alt, and a new boot on the back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Zach,
If you are looking for a job and you want to be close to home...

Open a car audio store in York!!
I will be your first customer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Got some work done on the stereo today, all the wiring is finished under the hood using 0guage cables. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) They definately added some weight to this car, but i am going for the luxury daily driver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Then I started on the rear trunk. I made a cabinet to fit all three amplifiers and coverd it with a combination of carpet and vynal. Came out O.K. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I also drilled 2 holes for the cables to pass through from the engine bay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)
