Not many people seem to be too into audio here. Just going to put up my current work in progress. This is a SQ setup. 3 way active front + sub. Headunit connected optically to h701 processor. All inputs welcome

Gear:
Alpine 7998r fantomface headunit
Alpine F545 amps (2 of them)
Alpine CHA-S624 changer
Alpine H701 processor + Rux controller

Drivers:
Seas L18-RNXP 7" midbass
Hybrid Audio Legatia 3" mids
tweeters unconfirmed(DLS UP1C or seas neo)
Phase Linear Aliante 12" sub

TODO list:
- Cut kickpanel for install of 3" mids.(better pathlength difference and more footroom(no change from stock)
- Fiberglass kicks etc.
- Boot install
- Reinstall midbass drivers
- A pillar tweets

Aliante and legatias


Headunit installed in stealth manner:



This video I found, shows how it works:

Cable routing :
Convenient grommet next to battery in engine bay


Inside wheelwell:


Managed to fit the power cable through grommet.


Ran 3 sets of speaker wires. Midbass,mids,tweets. Making sure I have enough slack in the cables to not require a rerun.



Done:


Will cut my kickpanels. The bit of metal to the right of the speaker wires hanging down. 1mm -ish thick. will allow me to sink the 3inch midrange speaker deeper into kickpanels and also allow more footroom and minimise pathlength difference.



Trunk - About to embark on install -




still deciding if I should make my life hard and have side mounted amps or just go with false floor amp setup.

Thanks for the comments. JL subs are good too and I actually played around with a jl12w6v1 but the aliante is too pretty to sell. I have a feeling that I will regret it if I do not at least attempt to do the side mounted amps.... will have a crack at it when I am free.

It will be tricky and will involve fiberglassing + mdf. The left side should house the amp and the changer right behind it accessible through a cover at the top. and the right side will house the h701 processor behind the amp.
I have already played with fiberglass and made a tyre well enclosure but I guess this would be much trickier.
