alright, i have some of the different model alpine stuff, i have all the alpine type r's (single 12", 6 1/2" components, 6 1/2" rears) Alpine Amp Link, w/ y splitter, 2 digital v-12's, one mono block, one 4 channel, alumapro 5 farad cap, monster 5 channel RCA's, monster 2 gauge wire, monster anl fuse holder with monster 125w fuse i actually ran it through a grommet on the side wall that most of the wires go through to the engine bay, i have pictures somewhere, but i cant seem to find them. but again, its not finished, i just threw this together so i could actually listen to something....
SCAREY PICTURES< BEWARE!!!
The pictures are during partial installation, and the equip is only a quarter of the wires i had to use, and not including the cap.

Actually if you look in my 2nd picture, I have the Alpine CDA-9855 HU. As far as my components sound, its so much more crisp and clear then stock speakers, I can roll down my windows and hear the music outside of my car crystal clear a few houses down. I love them I also decided not to loop the wiring through the harness at the HU, and ran new speakerwire to each individual speaker, I also went through the gromets on the doors so you cant see anything.

lol, you had to put that one up, haha, just dont look directly at the wires.
What I am going to end up doing, is building a cover to go over the amps and cap, so you dont see any of the wires. Also my sub is sideways, yeah thats cause when i was measuring everything out, i forgot to measure the bottom of the box. yeah yeah. Ill just remount the sub in the box the right way.
With the cover over the amps, i will be able to throw some stuff in my trunk now. Othewise everything has gone in the back seat or the front seat. even an engine hoist.

A little easier route, carpet the board, make an amp rack behind the sub, and run your wires out though the bottom of the board. IE, space the amp up 1/4" and drill a hole with a hole saw, and run them out the back, so you do see wires like that. Thats easier than making a plexi glass / false floor over top of things.
