    i managed to pull the white plastic panel thing holding down the carpet and dynamatted the floor. I then went to the driver side rear door and popped off the same plastic trims but i decided not to mess with it since thats where the wires are at and they're getting in the way.

    the noise is def starting to tone down slowly :)

    alright, so far, i've installed everything.

    alpine type-r 13s front door speakers w/ tweeters and crossovers and alpine type-r 17s rear deck speakers with the tweeters etc.

    what kind of amp should i get? by the way does anyone know how much amperes our alternators dish out?

    Alpine MRP-F450

    what do you guys think of that?

    Between the 4 mid-range speakers. you'll lose the fade because your fronts and backs are ran in series.

    so you're saying i should rewire it so that it's run parallel to the amp?

    can you explain fade? gradual increase/decrease inn volume?

    LOL awesome

    too bad i cant connect it. need some wiring and might as well hook it up when i get my amp so that i can run the rca cables the same time.
