Alpine V12's, not sure what model #, the sub amp is a 2 channel with about 150watts rms per channel, and the other is a 4 channel with about 75watts rms per channel. I got them years ago, right when the V12's came out.

They have lasted a long time, almost 4 years now, and they are super clean.

I know 150watts rms doesn't sound like much, but the subs I have are very efficient, I think they were like 93db, and they hit better than my previous system that had 2 mtx 12's with about 250watts rms each. And a lot cleaner base too.

Anyways, I was able to pull my headunit, amps, and subs out of the reck and will be installing them into my new 2007 tc soon!!

That's a very clean install, especially your rear tweeters.

One word of advice with xovers in doors. All doors let in water. Your placement is actually pretty good but something to consider. The warm components will form condensation if any water get in the door. Eventually the xovers will corrode.

hey rick.. love the clean install, yeah did you pop rivet the amps into the seat back supports? or just the carpet?

another thing i love about this.. the extra speaker in the c-pillar! awesome idea! i bet that opens up a more spacious sound stage! great idea, you know people are going to try and copy you now!

The amps are all bolted onto the seats plastic back supports

Also I removed the gap cover and took the cardboard off of it. Then clipped it to the back of the seat under the little flap of carpet. Now if folds into the gap when the seats are up that way I had more room to work with on the back of the seats.

And those rear tweeters sound awsome!

To bad the car got recked. I'm getting ready to reinstall everything into my new 2007 tc. I'm just have to get a new wireing kit and new 6 1/2" speakers. The rest I pulled off the reck.

If anyone wants pictures of the process I can take more pictures this time while I install it all.

Where did you put the power cable through the firewall? Good first picture but can't tell where you went through.
