RE did system..tell me what u think

Ok so ive been buying things here and there and i just got all my Alpine Type s 5x7 for the back doors and 2 alpine type S components for the front and a Clarion 640.4 amp to power them. But i got into this a lil deep i think! i ended up pulling out the back seats and the buckles from teh back door..never for them to return again.

First Pic is what it looked liked after i gutted it.


Heres the Left and Right Rear 5x7..





Heres the tweeter and the 5x7 woofer for the front Left and Right doors...





I also mounted 2 of the 3 amps on the back wall..




I took my time on all of it..ive been doing installs for quite awhile now and i enjoy it. I still havent finished hiding all the wires and cleaning it up..there will be finished pics coming..but now im running 3 amps, 2-1000watt clarions and 1-640.4 for the speakers..it sounds REALLY nice right now..leave feedback for me so i know if i should do more installs or not haha. thanks guys/girls.

Yeah, as mentioned you should have put the tweeters somewhere near the mid, on the door by the handle would work. Dynamat would be a large help also. Actually with mine, I got a roll of rubber sheeting, about 1/8" or so, and put it on the front doors and rear panel, where the jump seats used to sit up against. I also put house insulation in the entire rear doors and a sheet of it against the rear cab panel. My truck is so sound deadened its not funny, and the only dynamat I have in it is on the front drivers door. I think in the summer i'm going to get some Edead, from Elemental Designs and take out my whole interior and paint it with that, including the floor and roof.

Hey Fernando, why is up top a bad place to mount them? I trust you know what your talking bout cuz you're an installer, but I don't know enough about sound waves and stuff so I would have made the same mistake.

yea few things i gotta work on today to clean up..might go pick up the L7 depends if i feel like spening money or not haha but the pg's are in right now and it looks good alls you can see is the sub box the amps are 100% hidden.. sounds amazing too..crisp and clear. quick question though..second time ive ran into this..whinning from the alternator comin through the speakers so i tried the schosh rca cable back feed connector thinger lol and it never worked so i think im gonna have to ground the amp out to the frame of the truck cause the body sure aint workin any inputs please do tell!

EDIT: ONLY THE 5X7 ARE, SUBS ARE FINE

The only thing that matters Blurple, is if YOU like the way the tweeters sound.
