After my recent purchase of my Kenwood DDX512 I decided it was probably a good time to install my aftermarket Audio Pipe speakers I had purchased earlier in the season. I had already installed the front ones but held off on the rear ones due to the amount of work required. Last night I got ambitious and decided to just go ahead and install them. However none of the inside speakers are amped yet. While I had everything torn apart I decided I might as well at least recover the deck lid with the black suede I used on the door inserts. I was going to paint some of the panels as well but decided it was too much work for one night and decided to put it off for a later time. Anyways here are some images of the new covered deck and the new speakers.

The speaker wiring looks like shit right now but thats because I had spliced them to run a line converter for the rear subs off of the factory head unit. I plan on redoing all of this wiring and amplifying the speakers. Right now the kenwood is pushing about 22W R.M.S or 50W max to each speaker. The fronts I have installed are rated an R.M.S of 125W each and the rears 250W. They sound great right now, I can only imagine how much better they will sound once they are amped.

how did u apply the black suede or what did u use,

sweet if u want i have the black anchor covers. ill even throw in some crimp caps you desperately need

suede looks good. but man, twist caps ftl. solder(sp) and heat shrink tubes ftw

It is black suede and i applied it with spray adhesive and wrapped it right over the top of the existing fabric that is on it.

The covers I am going to paint a smoked gray to match other interior parts that I have already painted but thanks for the gesture.

As for the wiring job, like stated above I know it looks like hell but it was done just to get by until I get around to wiring the amps up. Once I do that all the existing crap will be removed and done the correct way.
