starting a new system in my gxp

[flarobbie]

i ma getting more into my car audio now cause i have a way better job and some more cash to put into it. i just need some help with a few things. I need advice on what box type to build and what will fit in my car. it is a 08' grand prix gxp with a moderate to beginner system in it already. i have 2- memphis m3 dual 4 12's in ported q logic box, kicker 1000.1 wired to 4ohm, all kicker hyperflex 1/0, stock alt, memphis 6.5 m class in door, m class 6x9 on back deck, and kenwood deck. i still have to do my mids/ highs amp, but im kind if scared to wire it all up. im looking to put in some dc lvl5 15's , or mabey 1 18. i wanted to know what to do for my big 3 cause it kind of looks intimidating with all the wires coming from that big v8. mabey someone knows a company that makes a good alt for it? and i needed some advice on what sub/ amp combo to use. any advice for my build would really help me out.

I've got an '04 Grand Prix running 2 Level 4 12's. It'll be a tight fit height-wise under the rear deck for 15's and you would have to fire an 18 upward, which is right into the flimsy ass back deck. Wiring up your other four speakers of an amp is easy as hell, you just gotta run your own wire and not use the factory stuff. Got any questions, just ask. I damn near know every bolt size needed.

As far as Big 3, alt pos to batt pos fused, batt neg to strut bolt sanded down, and I'd have to see a pic of you engine for the other neg. your stock alt should be atleast 125 amp. I ran pos and neg 1/0ga to the trunk and put a XS Power d3400 in the spare wheel well.

its not that im scared to wire everything up, im just dreading taking all the panels out cause ive found that the re-assembaly is kind of my weak point and i tend to loose bolts. next thing you know, you have panels that are fucked and i hate that. also, i am still kind of in between on what i want to put in there as a set up because like any other gear head, my mind is never made up. i was just looking for some advice and mabey a few pointers

The door panels are extremely easy to get off. Unclip the plastic part behind the door panel. Take a screw driver and pry off the piece over the door handle you grab. You will then need a 10mm socket to get the 2 deep bolts out. Use a 1/4" drive with an extension. Then pry all around the outside of the door. That's it. It is one of the easiest things I have taken apart. Put all of your bolts and other stuff into cups that are labeled if you're that nervous about it.
