Personally I would use hot glue to set it where you want, then come back with silicone or gasket sealer for a more permanent bond. Hot glue is great because it sets up fast and isnt permanent. The only downside is that it will loosen up in the summer heat. Thats why I recommend coming behind it with the silicone or gasket sealer. It takes longer to set up, it isnt permanent, but it will hold up to the heat.

thanks! that's what i'll do. i was concerned about the permanent bonding of the jb weld too and how it could pose a problem when something happens to the tweeter. i'm mounting the crossovers now and figure how to mount the amps. i'm thinking of bolting the amps to the firewall as oppose to using self tapping screwsOriginally posted by SuperDuper View Post

i have couple more q's.
i have a power ant and remote wire coming from the head unit harness. i connected the white (pwr ant/rmt on) wire fron the car to the pwr ant wire. ahould i connect the amp turn on wire to the head unit remote wire? should i combine the white wire and the amp turn on wire and connect it to the head unit remote wire?
where can i find the inginition lead fromthe stock wires? where do i connect this wire?thanksComment

As far as rear components, I suggest trying the stock premiums first. If you don't like the way they sound, upgrade then. According to Luke, the stock premiums are pretty good when powered with an amp.Comment

more q's. i'm glad you guys are patient. i connect my ignition lead(red wire) to the rd/grn(constant 12V). i don't see any wire from the deck harness to be connected to the acc wire (purple/grey). what do i connect to this wire and am i right connecting the ignition lead to the constant 12V? the diagram show the constant 12V as red/white but i don't have that wire. these are just test fits that's why the wire are just twisted. i'll crimp themtogether when everything is finally working.
i finally test mounted the amps and i started measuring and cutting the wires i need. my firewall is missing the card board, i hope it's fine to mount the amps on bare metal.
some pics of my setup. i'll connect everything and fire it up. if all is fine then i'll disconnect and mount the amps again and clean up the wires. i'm having a har time finding a nice grounding spot. i might just drill through the fire wall and put a bolt to it.
luke i'll need help with setting the amps gains and such before imount it back. it will be hard to access these settings once the amps are mounted. thanksComment
