The tweeter install, cross over and door speaker install.

wider angle of the trunk would be appreciated too.

How long did it take start to finish?

i work everyday so i spend like two days on it after work. if had to do it all over again it should only take me 4-8 hours. i get anal on how somethings need to be done thats why. ill have to check my pictures i took and see if i can find any of the ones you want

I know what you mean, when I start a project I want it completed to perfection. Currently, I have not even taken ownership my "new" s2k, and I'm already planning on the mods/upgrades.

how much does a whole set up cost like the ones in the beginning of the post? and then how much does it cost to install it all? Thanks, i really dont like how the stock sounds

It's not so hard to install yourself ..

this is not so pretty but it works. just used left over scraps for the supports and custom mount

How much does a whole system cost? I have a head unit and an amp already

That's a hard question. It's just like asking how much does a house cost or how much does a car cost. It depends on what you want to spend. Do you want a Mercedes, a Yugo, a Camry?

For starters, you could budget $300-400 for a decent/nice 4 channel amp for speakers and $300-600 for speakers, then $75-$150 for RCAs and additional wiring. Then $200-800 for the subwoofer, enclosure, and associated stuff, but use the amp you have if it's appropriate for the system or buy a new one for another $200-500. That would produce sound that is loud and clean--overall very good by most standards--but it wouldn't win any competitions or blow an audiophile away.

So a grand or two is my answer.

Or you could halve some of those cost numbers and take the minimums on others and get a lower end system, ie maybe a system with plenty of volume but poor equalization. Or you could double some of those numbers (or more) and get a very high end system with more volume than you can stand and clarity that stirs the soul. Personally, if I were doing that, I would want to put the nicer system in a different, non-tinny-uninsulated-ragtop car, as the finer points of such a system would be hard to enjoy in this car. YMMV.
