Got home and managed to get the wires setup ready for my door speakers to go in. Put my tweeters in all nice and flush with the door panel. Hooked the crossovers up. Cut into the panel so the speaker spacer could fit and screws it in with some self tapping metal screws. Looks real nice. Just wish I had some carpet for the door panel then and there so I don’t have to take the prick off again (the spacer is screwed right through into the door panel).

Skinny made me up some RCA cables which are awesome, gold plated connectors, ran them through along with separate remote lines for the speaker and sub amps. Ran the rear speaker lines through and hid them nicely underneath the lip of the rear footwells, drilled holes in the side and floor to keep them hidden all the way through.

Also ran the sub lines under the carpet and along a groove in the floor. Can’t even feel them! :) Even ran a sensor for the alarm to sense whether the back door is open or closed.

All I gotta do now for the sounds is put the box in, test the length of the wires to the amps, make any minor adjustments then I can bolt the (in)sides of the van back in. And hook up the power/ground lines.

The main bitch now though is I have to get the central locking working. The new master door lock actuator didn’t fix the issue, so need to get a new central locking relay before the alarm can go in properly, and that is stopping me keeping anything valuable in the van as well as screwing in the driver side door panel properly.

In the meantime I have just cut the central locking so I only have to lock my door (previously only the central unlocking worked, meaning I had to run around locking all the doors everytime I parked up).

Almost there….
