Today was the beginning of fitting the new audio system.
So out comes all the parts I have been saving for the past few months...

There is another amp too which I have misplaced for now.
So out came the mint condition half leathers. Have been running without floor mats for a while and the matrix flooding the car didnt help matters so its literally caked. Here you can see I cleaned one side!

the boot also seems to have taken a beating. Cloud9 underlay is all water damaged or actually what I presume to be brake fluid damage from a leaking bottle I found!

Next up was to fit the 3 RCA leads, power and remote cables under the carpet. Power and remote on the left. Amped Audio in the mid left and RCA on the mid right. Unfortunately I didnt realise you could get 6 channel RCA leads so bought 3 high quality ones instead!

The bucket seats then came out of the estate and I managed to get one fitted before damp became a problem and I had to pack up for the day!

Also some Cully air bag resistors went in to stop the air bag flashing. They work and most importantly I didn't set off the air bags fitting them!

Finally once I got home from my grans where I am doing all the work I fitted the Focal tweeters to some spare interior mirror caps.
Going to have to make an early start tomorrow as I need to wire up all the amps, sound deaden everything and fit the speakers and cross overs! I also need to find the rest of my cloud9 and the missing amp! Once all that is done Ill be making a false floor to hide it all!
