Finally I downloaded the installation pictures to my pc... and thought to share with others :

Box of all Items :

The Dash opened for wiring.

Back Side of JVC HU. I had only 1 set of pre-out, so Y-Cable is used for RCA wiring. But this unit has a SPDIF out port. Toslink fiber cable can be used for Digital output.

Hole made in the front door to fit tweeter. I was worried whether the tweeter fitting will look good or odd.

But I was surprised that the finish looked like Factory mounted.

Front Component speakers mount. Sorry for bad picture. The Mobile camera does not work good in night.

Crossover Mounted in the back of the door pannel.

607 inside the door

937 Mount

60.4 Mount

Some after Install Pictures.

low_bass_makker · 2nd April 2007, 19:28

What about the update on the Carputer side.....

sys_whiz · 2nd April 2007, 21:07

@speedzak : Thank You. I am happy with my setup and sounds marvelous. Thank You Gurus for helping me the right stuff and right guidance.

@LBM : Thanks LBM for the complement. Special thanks to you regarding PXA. Yeh I have a very good cam and I have some interest in photography. I bought this cam from Malyasia.

Carputer progress : I got almost 90% parts. Only 3 items are left and planning to get this from Mumbai during my visit to Mumbai next week..(Hope so...Planning to go since mid of March, but due to hectic schedule I could not)

Thank You Hari....Yes 6.5 easily fitted in the front stock. There was no Mod to the original front stock. The installer used two rings for each woofer wich came in the box to fit those. No additioal rings were used. The complete installation took lots of time to provide a neat look. As I told earlier, when the installer heard I am a TBHPian, he took extra precaution to install the system perfectly. There is no vibrating sound from the front door. It sounds great. The tunning of the amp is perfectly done that neither front nor Back dominating each other.
