what a pita but its finished

welp i finished installing 2 amps to my stock system. what a pita tying into the stock wiring behind the head unit but its done. now just to clean up the install in the rear because i have a ground loop. also tunight the system will come tomorrow. no [ics of behind the hu. had to cut some of the backing to get all the wiring back there. anyone else planning to do this expect a good 5 hrs of frustration. took about an hr to get the amps all wired up but 3 hrsfor behind the HU and another hr hiding all the wires. sounds good right now. just needs some adjusting to get the gains right and get rid of the alternator whine. its driving me insane after only 20 mins driving in the car. so far my setup is 4x80w amp and a 1x200w amp driving a 10" woofer. gonna have to get a better amp and woofer because at least right now the woofer is being overpowered by the door speakers. did i mention the warning chimes are loud as hell now. they r giving me a headache. does ne one know how to disable them.

well i fixed the alternator whine. anyone who is putting in a system dont run your wires on the drivers side. the positive pattery cable runs up this side. tuned the system and it sounds awesome. cant wait to get new door speakers
