Default Why is the HU on the ****? Don't like the wood & the front speakers look like they're stuck on

can't see how they would sound very good mounted in that way.

Default well....

what do u mean by on the ****? and i mounted the fronts like that becuase the aftermarket speakers wouldnt fit in the stock mounting hole, so i had to raise them adn this was the best way i could think of

Default It's not level, it's higher on the right than on the left, looks awful

As for the speakers, you can't just mount them where it's convenient, they have to be mounted on something solid to give them something to kick against. 4" units would be a direct replacement, or 5.25" units will fit with the correct adapter rings as long as they're fairly slim units like Rainbow 230slx's or Infinity Kappa 50.5's.
Or you get proper door builds which replace the speaker part of the door card.

ok thanks but how do i make it level? i did replace the factory metal jacket with the Kenwood one, hoping that that would fix it but it didnt, is there something i can get to fix that?

Default No idea how it can't be level, it's a DIN sized hole with a DIN sized HU

there's no scope for it to twist. Is it loose in the cage or is the cage loose in the hole?
Every HU I've fitted is a nice tight fit.

Default you'd rather stick on some junky fosgate speakers that look like butt than

actually get some speakers that fit and put them behind the nice factory grills?

Default why did you choose to use a 4 channel amp to power your woofers?

"another shot of my amp so you can see some of the wiring to it using stinger 12 gauge for my subs and stinger 16 gauge for my speakers" - <i>dumba$$</i>

<img src="http://www.carstereo.com/images/installs/08-07-07_1447.jpg">

The Coustic 481QE has 60W x 4 RMS Power @ 4 Ohms. So you're only giving your T4510-04 woofers 60 watts RMS while they require 225.

You're a little new at this aren't you? Lemme guess, you ran the other channels of the amp to your rear 6X9s

BTW those speaker guards on the rears don't do your install any justice.
