    @RedEmpire Is that the Panel from the group buy? I believe i ordered the same one. I am trying to figure out how big the sub box cutout dimensions are. Any chance you know? If you know the size of your sub box that would work as well.

    I am in the process of moving so no tape measure, I think it is 11 3/4 inches. It is a tad short and I will need to trim 1/4 -1/2 inch to clear my box.

    Made my harness but used only a 5 wire conductor as I only need signals from the front left and right speakers.

    Ok so I have read a lot of this thread but Its a lot to take in. So I'm keeping oem HU. I purchased tweeters, all 4 door speakers and 2 additional amps. 1 mono amp for sub and a 4 chan for door speakers. The door speakers are from the upgrade forum post here that everyone is doing which is the kickers. I ordered from crutchfield so they sent me factory harness adapters for door speakers.

    So if I want to hook up 4 chan amp to doors and the mono amp to the two 12 inch kickers I got using the lci7 can someone one write me up a quick drawing of a wiring diagram and also what other harnesses and wiring do I need to buy to make this all come together? Sorry guys I'm just a bit lost and confused since reading everyone's way of doing it.

    Thanks a ton!

    @HitMaNaCe what kind of speakers did you get for the fronts? Did you get mids tweets with a crossover?

    How do you plan on fitting those subs behind your seat?

    I personally think you would be better off getting a set of mids and tweets with a crossover for your application.

    Well the box I'm getting fits with with plastic bins and everything removed. The depth of the box is rated for the speakers from what I understand. I should have got shallow mounted kickers but I bought the speakers on impulse because it was a good deal.

    Well they won't fit. I have shallow mount 10s and they barely fit. What box did you get?

    When you say they wont, do you think the speaker will be to big out of the front of the box or you think a box that big wont even go behind the seat? The box I plan on purchasing has been said to fit in our 16 dblcabs I heard it is very tight though.

    I am honestly unsure and didnt put too much research into before I bought the speakers but the mounting depth is rated for the box and again I hear the box works but i am unsure.
