Talking Deck and Speaker Install Done

Hey, i finally got my deck and speakers done.

I got the JVC KD-SH707 HU.

I wanted to go with inifity's 6.5 all around, but the shop i went to didn't have bracket's and i couldn't find anyone with the bracket's to go from 5x7 to 6.5.

So i exchanged one set of the 6.5 for pioneer 5x7, they don't sound as great at the 6.5 infinity's in the rear, but they well have to do for now, until i can track down some bracket's or, find inifinty 5x7's.

I will post pic's soon.

Some day shot's and some Night shots of the deck at well.

All comments are welcome...

Thanks.

Did you install them yourself? How do you mount the Infinity 6.5 at the back?

There is a gap around the top of the deck - looks a little bit shoddy.

And they could've put a pocket or something in instead of the plain black panel under the deck, unless that's what you wanted.

Doesn't look that bad, and if you're happy, that's all that matters. But my car would never have left the shop looking like that (but, then again, I wouldn't be bringing it to a shop anyway ).

Just my $.02

shop installs are always the worst piles of ****, everytime i see a shop install its always crap, theirs always something wrong, and nothing lines up, your better off to just learn and do it yourself

EX: futureshop, cut my friends alarm wires (effectively disabling his alarm) pluged the antenna into the mic input on his deck, broke the mounting plate surrounding his deck, hooked the sub wires and rear speaker wires up backwards (+ and - swaped). is this the kind of bullshit i should be expecting? my friend only had them install it becuase it would void the warrenty if he didn't

Thanks, but the 6.5 fit just fine in the rear.

I think you are right, i'm happy with the HU and the 6.5's in the rear, but i'm not 100% happy overall.

I think once my sun burn stops hurting like hell, i'll do some real speaker hunting.
