I will be doing my install either this or next weekend and I was wondering if you guys could maybe me recommend to me what I should buy before doing my install. I know that I will need the following but don't know where to buy it:

- Body panel cilps (local stealership quoted me $3.60 EACH and I remember seeing a site that sells the clips but I had no idea which ones to get).

- Carpet for the amp rack that I'll build.

- Rubber grommets for amp rack and for hole in the hatch through which I will route my wires to the back... I am assuming I can get those at local Home Depot.


Is there anything else you could recommend? I just ordered a roll of Rammat BXT...

Oh and by the way, what could I use to kill the rattle of the HomeLink mirror mount for V1/Passport... that thing is rattling like crazy and I know I can just slip some thick paper in there to make it tighter but it won't look as good..

 

dont even know what ur installing?

 

ha! good point.

- Alpine 9887 running focals active.
- Front stage: Focal 165 K2Ps in kick panels by Bing
- Front stage amp: Alpine PDX 4.150
- Sub: DLS Iridium 10" in custom corner enclosure.
- Sub Amp: Alpine PDX 600.1.

I have all the wiring... 32 sq ft of Dynamat Extreme and 62 sq ft of Rammat BXT.

 

i wouldnt worry about needing anything else except tools, soldering gun if ur gonna have to cut wires, wire cutters, crimpers, black tape is always good...

where did u get the corner enclosure from

 

what hole in the hatch are u talking about too where u are routing wires and need to buy a rubber grommet? im not sure where u mean

 

I got the enclosure from another forum member who had it custom made to the sub's specs and as far as the hole goes... I read in some other thread that when you route the wire from glove box to the trunk that there are bunch of openings in the chasis of the car but people recommended putting rubber grommets so the wire doesn't rub against bare metal.

 

hmm..good to know..yeah i have finally boosted my z and did the rims and body and interior and etc. so now i gotta throw some bass in as well...just starting to look around for head units and i am gonna use my infiniti 12's i had from a previous system and mtx amp, good luck with ur project mine is just starting soon as i find the right box that won't take up my whole trunk or have to drop my floor in the trunk
