I'm installing the following:

-Pioneer avic f900bt 2.0
-JL 6.5" 2 way speakers up front
-Disconecting rear 6.5s
-Zenclosure under strut bar with 2 JL 10w3s
-JL 500/1
-JL 300/4

I would really appreciate any install suggestions - especially on the HU
Do the fronts need a spacer with the 6.5" JLs?
Is it a good idea to disconect the rears?
How does the ZEnclosure sound with JLs?

Any and all comments will help!!!
Installing on March 14TH- I'll post pics --

 

the 900 install is pretty straight forward if you have the harness for our cars. It took me about an hour and a half and that was with mounting the xm box in the kickpanel and running wires for that and the bluetooth mic.

 

disconnect the rears and buy zenclosures speaker spacers, or make your own

 

why not get a JL 300/2v2? It's cheaper as well.

 

My JL's 6.5 came with adapters. Not needed for rear, but needed for the front door installation.

It was pretty simple install. Removed center console, subwoofer trim, rear speaker trim, and side pannels next to rear speaker. Helped alot with running wires.

I went wth the Polk PA1100.5 600 watt / 5 channel amp.

Now if someone could explain why my Kicker 10" sub doesn't line up with the same bolt holes for the bose sub Could only get two screws in and now I'll have to make a custom enclosure to fit in the same area as the stock location and possibly even sawall the opening. The current opening is about 1/2 too big to get at least 3 screws in to hold the sub flat and flush.

Oh and I gotta figure out how to jurry rig the DVD saftey circuit for my Alpina IVA W205 so I can play DVD's in gear. I think I'm gonna wire a switch to ground and connect the other directly to the brake pedal switch and hopefully that will work.
