(Sorry if the orientation of the pic changes when you click on it - not sure why it's acting the way)
So I finally pieced together all the required parts.
CA4000 autoloc keyless entry w/alarm (ca4000 SKU::140783)
Alpine deck (inside Tuffy Box)
Apline amp (mounted in rear quarter panel)
Polk speakers front and rear.
Second skin audio dampener.
There's been some discussion as to where to mount the rear door actuators. Hopefully you can see how I mounted mine. I'll try to post pics as I go.
Here's the rear door. I heard that when others went to install the rears they had to reverse it and the wires. But this way it works fine also
Front door you can see the new screw head near the bottom; that's where the actuator is on the inside
My spacer or remount ring I made. Took a while to get it to sit flush. That's where my new polk 6.5's are going to mount to.
Here's a shot of the front door home made door "loom". got the tip from another mudder. Get a good size tubing, since the front doors have about 9 wires going to it. (5 for the actutor, 2 speakers, 2 tweeter) This you need to plan ahead you only want to do it once. Fishing the wires through frame isn't as easy as you think. I used zip ties and cut off the ends, taped together 2 or 3 to get enough length and then tied the wire to the end.
Here's the passenger door. Went with a small size tubing, since it's only two wires. You can see the factory stock black plug.
Here's the door with second skin on the exterior of the door panel. Advice here is wear mechanics gloves. My hand have so many paper/metal cuts from handling the second skin material. Also I think I should have had the door handle linkage exposed or on the outside of the second skin. The tackiness gives it a little fiction on the initial door handle pull. I also thought I went to what I thought was the perimeter of the door panel, but when I installed it, I had gone too far over. So I had to trim some if off.

Here's where I mounted my amp.

suscribed the whole way through.
job would you say it was?
just a few hours during the week and a few on the weekends. I couple thousand trips to ACE Hardware for electrical connections and wire. I think what made this install time consuming is that I'm doing the radio install and new speakers all the way around. If I was going to do it again, I"m sure I could knock it out in 4-6hrs.
