Just starting my new install **Pics Updated**

I've got a couple pics snapped of the back seat. I can't wait till it gets a little warmer so I can get all the wiring run and my speakers put in.
Thanks to MegaHurtz for the new equipment. Can't wait to hear the speakers.

Thanks guys!
Next step is to get the seats back in the garage to cut holes to run the wires. I'm trying to hide as much of the wires as possible.

I still haven't completely decided on what to put my subs in. I've got 2 12inch infinity perfect 12.1. I have a giant 3.5 cubic foot ported box that I had in my old civic and a new 2 cubic foot sealed box that I just finished building. I'll probably stick with the sealed box because since buying the new car I've kinda grown to like my trunk space.

Its all pretty much done now. Thank god for a little nice weather we had yesterday. There's some new pics below.

I've got a couple questions about the setup. I've decided not to use my rear speakers so should I bridge my 4ch amp for the fronts and give them 140Wrms instead of the 70Wrms? The MB Quarts I installed are rated for 90-170. I wasn't worried about too little power running the amp 4ch since the MTX amp was around 90 watts on the test sheet. But I'm guessing they'll sound better and I might as well use the power if I have it. I think I already know the answer to this one.

Also, the tweeters I have are rated 45Wrms. What can I do to make sure they don't blow since I would be increasing the power by bridging the amp? Is that what the jumpers are for on the crossovers? They go from -0db to -6db in increments. Any help on this is apprecieated since I have never really used a crossover like this before.

wow, your system is basically just like mine. I have the MB quart premier components (they should be here monday), 2 12'' Infinity Kappa Perfect subs, and I have my tweeters mounted in the same exact spot as you do.
