Thanks guys I hope so. Is it hard to pull the panels and is there any tricks? Also should mount the crossover for the components in the door or out? I never installed separates before and I hate making mistakes.

I seriously doubt those are gonna fit in the front. The window rail is to shallow in the door to clear, But good luck man, I love Alpine products, cant do much better when buying from a department store.

pulling the panels are not hard just time comsuming. for the crossover i mounted mine all the way in the back so it took a while.

Humm I believe it says it would fir the car, but hey where there's a will there's a way. I got all of those much cheaper with all the warranties off of ebay.

I think I saw that in the system pics. My concern is on convenience of adjustment. I do not want to have to pull a panel to adjust a crossover. I have been thinking of running some wire back through the door and mounting the x over under the dash on both sides.

my crossovers are mounted onto my subwoofer box on the back so its easy to adjust. only thing that sucks is hella wires everywhere u just gotta organize it

All together was like 365 shipped. That is for all three. LOL yes I know it is named type r, but if you look at what people say about them they are rated well. I was going to run infinity but I read the high are too sharp.

Ebay. I just installed them today man are they nice. However; I did remove the pass seat to put my amp there and now my srs is on. I want to try the reset, but I am worried I will mess up some thing. Btw pics of my super stealth install to come.

Word to the wise. Never-ever turn the car on without the seat in unless you want thdreaded SRS light. The reset works, I had to do it too ;) Because although I KNEW to not turn that key on............

Just do the reset with a paper clip. It's easy and much cheaper than the dealer. It'll take you less than five minutes if you try the following method:

- 1 straightened paper clip in each connector (or cut one in half)
- 2 wires with alligator clips on both ends

Clip one end of each gator clip to the paper clips and then touch the opposing gator ends as needed. It's much easier than trying to fumble with paper clips alone.

Thanks man the next time I do some thing this dumb I will remember. A friend of mine hooked me up with a service tech who cleared it in like 2 minutes. Btw the dealer charges 50 bucks to do this. Yea and my pics will come up as soon as my power gets back on and I return home from starbucks.
