09 Legacy 4X6.5 Speakers + Amplifier Installation ~ Lots of Photos ~

[AlexShu]

Hello All,

 

Maybe you remember me from the Legacy 2009 Caska multimedia system installation

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/legacy-2009-caska-multimedia-system-installation-164798.html

 

I thought it will be nice to share my ideas and my experience.

 

So ive decided I want to put better speakers, I bought two sets of Alpine 6.5" 280W (65W RMS) the come with crossovers and twitters.

Also bought Rockford Fosgate PRIME R400-4D Amlifier.

 

I wanted to keep the installation as clean and "stock" (no new holes, cuts) as possible.

Some said that 6.5" don't fit in the back door - they were right but I made it work.

Made some speaker adapters from wood, because the stock holes are far from standard, and the spacing made the 6.5 fit in the back.

 

Hardest part was to open the floor panel to set the cables there, almost impossible.

 

A picture is worth a thousand words ?

so here are many words:

AMP Install

Mounting on the back seat wall, but piece of plastic board won't hold it

So Ive mounted a wooden board behind supporting on the frame and the bars that appears to be holding only the plastic covers.

Drilled some holes in the plastic and mounted the amp.
