Ive been planning to a car audio build ever since I bought my CLA. So far my plan is to use the factory radio. Most of the parts are from my prior vehicle.
Equipment:
Alpine H800+C800
Alpine PDX-V9
Scan Speak Revelator 18w mids
Scan Speak D3004 tweeters
Fountek FR89EX center speaker
Alpine Type R flat subwoofer
Random small amp for center speaker.
At the moment, all of the wiring has been has been completed and this car was possibly the easiest car to run wire though. The factory wire guides on either side of the of the car easily accepts 0AWG wire and just about anything else. The factory rubber firewall grommet makes wiring though the firewall a breeze
I am going to do minimal sound dampening because the car is quiet enough as it is. But we'll see. Im going to reserve most of the dampening for the front doors.
This build might take a while as the car is my daily driver and I have to reasonably get it back to stock for the work week.
Main battery fuse.
Factory grommet. The picture is obviously before I poked the 0awg wire through and little wire is for my radar system. The weird thing is, I wanted to buy a backup grommet but the dealer couldn't look up the part number, I also had no success looking that PN online :/
My original plan was to mount the processor and amp under the rear deck. But after removing the factory sub module and speaker Im considering mounting them on top of the rear deck.
Mocked up
I'll add more pictures from time to time when I work on car....
