My new Audio/Video System

[theSteve]

Just wanted to share some pics of my recently installed system. This is my first post on clubwrx.

I bought my 03 wrx about 3 months ago and just finally got around to replacing that surprisingly awful factory system.

Here's the details, for those that are interested:

Fronts:
Alpine Type-X SPX177R in kick-pods
Bi-Amped with Alpine MRVF540

Rears:
Unchanged (Stock)

Subs:
JL Audio 10W3V3-4 x 2
Alpine MRPM850

Deck:
Alpine IVAW205

Here's some pics I snapped today:





I'm happy with the install. The spare tire compartment is used to house the sub box, fiberglass bottom and mdf top. Overall I didn't lose much height to the "false floor" and I can still use my trunk.

The Kickpod eliminates the dead-pedal... which is an annoyance, but it's a trade-off for having relatively "high-end" speakers that don't fit in the doors. The Type-X components absolutely wail... because of the pod setup and the fact that each component set has 2 channels of amplification.

I still have to buy an Alpine Blackbird2 to plug in to my deck - which will give me Navigation; and Bluetooth capability for my cell phone.

What do you think?

that's sick man. I have a very similar setup except I housed my tweeters in the in car A and C pillars. Your setup looks clean, I like the faux floor. Who made the Pods for you? Or did you do it yourself?

Thanks I had the pods made for me, I don't have any experience with fiberglass.

It was done at a&b Sound in Abbotsford, B.C.

That is sick dude.

It makes me want to come up with a better system. I am not a big fan of sacrificing all that usefull leg space with the kick panels though. But your trunk install is a thing of beauty
