I just bought a basic bottom of the barrel 2023 Honda Accord with the basic 4 speaker stereo. I have acquired a few items for my install, but a lot comes from past vehicles. I see many people install the amplifiers on the back of the rear seat. I would like to do the same, but what is the best way to mount a 1/2 inch carpeted ply board to the back of the seat to mount the amp and LC7i? Screws through the back of the seats? I was thinking about making a shelf to go below the back ledge under the rear speakers? Looking for some expertise on this one.
Also, below is what I have for the install at this time. I know I will make changes later, but need a platform to start from. I bought some Deaf Bonce Arnold's, but I can see they are not going to install without sawzawing the speaker locations which is not what I want to do at this time. So I am also looking for a recommendation for a 6.5 component for the front doors that won't break the bank $300ish?
Currently I have...
- AudioControl LC7i - Probably change that to a DSP in the distant future.
-Sundown Audio 2000.6
-Old Old German Made MB Quart PCE 216 - Tweeter installed in 6.5 and will be using the crossover. These will be going in the back deck.
-Deaf Bonce Arnold 6.5's - Not going to work
-Alpine 12's R-W12D2 2 Ohm - Wiring to 1 ohm for Channels 5 and 6 of amp. Sealed Box that I have had.
-I'll be installing an XS D3100 Battery in the trunk so I don't have to worry about power so much. I like to use 1/0 welding wire because it's good copper and cheaper than other brands.
I also have some old school Jl 12W6's and some FI 12's, but thought I would try the Alpines because they were on sale.
I have some old old MB Quart German Q's, but they need new surrounds and thought I would just buy something else.
Any concerns, help, recommendations, etc is much appreciated.
