I'm finally upgrading the Evo with a proper stereo system, I've had a JVC DVD stereo in it for as long as I can remember and now it's time to finish the package. I'm going to use this as my build thread but feel free to post comments and constructive criticism. The Evo is my first car that I haven't done any stereo work on until now. I do have an interest in car audio and a little bit of knowledge but I wouldn't say it's one of my main hobbies. Looking back I'm a little amazed none of my other cars went haywire or caught fire with some of the shit I pulled on those installs. The Evo is my pride and joy and I intend to keep it as long as I can. I would prefer not to cut holes in it and be able to put it back to stock wherever possible but I do realize there might be some concessions. My overall goal for the car is to build one very fast, very good sounding (inside and out) and very stock looking Evo.
Here is the equipment I have purchased.
JVC KDAVX1 (been my head unit for awhile)
Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System
Polk Audio DB651 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speakers
Alpine MRP-F300 4ch
Alpine MRP-M350 mono
2 Dynamat door kits
I also have all the RCA cables and wiring to complete the install and hopefully enough speaker wire. I plan on getting a lot done this weekend.
