^Indeed I did find something that worked really well, it was super easy to use to. Forget milkshakes!
Here is a pic of the beefy 5 1\4 massive comp
Started replacing the 4awg wire with some 0awg i had laying around. You can see the old crappy battery in there... it died on me yesterday... doh!
Seems like I had a change of plans... I am leaving the 6.5 in the doors to try and figure out a way to do 3 way front stage and still keep the 5.1 surround with the ms8... to bad ms8 only has 8 outputs.
It was time to change out the rest of the wiring to... luckily I was able to find some low price "professional" grade CCA speaker wire at walmart. The thing is damn cheep but it's big and looks good. I realize CCA isn't as good but it is 14awg hehe. I personally love musical clarity hahahaha
Close up of the kick panel before the 5 1\4 goes in. They are lined with non drying modeling clay and I put a nice hole in the back for some venting.
And here they are with speakers in em

^No it's not the finished product... everything always seems to be in limbo. I removed the kicks for now and since my battery died I had to go get a new one:
Also for the pin holes, dukk had said there was better out there then milkshakes but didn't offer up any suggestion
So I went off to try something different and this is what I found
Super easy stuff to use and cheep and gets rid of pinholes easily. I couldn't believe it. But it only does pinholes, nothing bigger.
Here it is with some paint
And in the dash
Doesn't look to bad, the color is close but not perfect. It will look better once there is something covering up the hole... the hole isn't particularly pleasant to look at.
So I had won 1000$ sonicbux from sonicelectronix and went to the border to pick up my winnings
Sweet! New deck, RCA's, subs and.... yeah I had ordered a battery. Can't believe my battery died mere days before I received this one. Anyone want a deep cycle batt?
Here is a close up of the 15's with the DB meter on them... hehe they are pretty quiet now but once in the car I am sure that will change hehehe
Not that I am big on bass, these will probably just stay a few days, it's going to be to much boom for this audio fanatic.

Amplifier pics, these look really nice. I like the clean and simple look of the anodized black.
The packaging is some of the nicest I have seen for amps, it opens like a chest does and the amp is well cradled in.
slick, gotta love the look of new
100watts x 4 @4ohms and 800 x 1 @1ohm. Not many 5 channels have this power in such a small chassis.

Installed the rear speakers, this was easy the rears accept stock 5 1\4's. All I had to do was cut part of the plastic from the stock speaker plastic mount and a couple of plastic posts from the front to get my massive audio speaker to drop right in. I love it when it is this easy.
Here is it is from the back, normally the plastic would rap all around the speaker, but now it's more of just a plastic piece directly over the speaker.
Easy drop in
When in coaxial mount, there is no elegant way of running the speaker wire without drilling a hole in the arm\bracket:this is what I did for my center speaker. I couldn't be bothered for the rears though since we won't see them.
For the crossover I trimmed some of the foam stuck on the door. I used a combination of glue and screws, it holds well enough and there is plastic isolating the xover from the door interior. Nice and safe.
Not pictured, I finally added the MS8 so these are logic 7 derived rears. They add space and enhance the listening experience without being really noticeable. Overall a worthy addition.
