Radio install finally done - doing so while having a full on flu was kinda silly.. pleurisy has set in and steps away from Pneumonia :(
But.. I think its looking good being on top of the dash :) Good mount for GPS as well.

So I have had this roof console kicking about for the last ten years - and finally got it fitted up!!
Only housing the UHF currently - an older tx4200 with an external speaker mounted in there as well. Thinking of mounting the rear map lights that came with it and making a storage compartment on the other side.
Or maybe fitting the HF radio I plan to get down the track.

Finally got around to doing the half cargo barrier... more of a pain then I thought - used a air tool with a grinding stone to make the holes in the plastic for the bolts and a angle grinder with a cutting disc for the access holes.

And my rocker switch panel arrived today - and it fits perfectly in to the hole for the factory stereo! Zero cutting required - VERY happy about this as I called the guys first as they are here in Victoria!
7 of them together is a perfect fit! They have a blue soft glow to attach to dash lights and bright blue when turned on.

Slowed down a little with life and stuff... well kinda...
Solved my tinny speaker issues :D
So front's now have 4" 3 ways in the top and bottom has US Audio 6" woofers - cutting the bottom wasn't that hard and we managed to fit some two way cross over units that came with the woofers.
Woofers also have tweeters but don't need them

I used the same JVC 4" in the back - but added a set of 6X9 sony's - which need a little amp in the back but will be much better than a subby and massive amp setup :)
I will mount these later today so they sit on top of the rear wheel well.

And I picked up these bad boys on Friday - off set rims from LRA with some 32" Simex Jungle trekkers - now to book in to LRA for some Flares ... rock sliders... maybe a madman system with a million sensors :D

Looking great! Like your stereo what are you using as head unit?
Its a Clarion head unit - I like it so far but might change it in the future... if I find a good enough reason :)Quote:

The only thing I don't like is the mic is built in to the head unit instead of an external one - but seems to work really well so far. Got it for... 100.
The speakers and head unit were all sale items \ looking for best bang for buck.
I decided to try for un-amp'd speaker setups and spent a lot of time listening to the 4" one before I decided on the JVC drven range.
The 6" US Audio's were a fluke find at 75 bucks where most other brands wanted 130+
Same with the 6x9's - I was going to get the JVC drven but the sony's were on special for 80 bucks. Can't go wrong. :)
I've got the Sony MEX-XB100BT as head unit - simply because at 100w per channel - I will not use separate power amp.. Saves a few $$ and some space/wiring. Speakers there is huge choice and I understand why you picked yours. Great value for sure.
