I'm doing a classical install in a 2002 Subaru WRX.
More of a reinstall...

Head Unit: Pioneer Premier PRS800 w/ CD-200BTB
Signal Processor: SoundStream PQ7
Amplifier: Premier D-2000SPL Champion
Front Speakers: Premier 6.75" component
Rear Speakers: Premier 6.75" coaxial
Subwoofers: TCSounds Epic 10" DVC 2Ohm x 2
Enclosures: MagicBox Sealed WRX Sedan pair
Power Wire: StreetWires 1/0
Ground (and Big 5): StreetWires 1/0
Connectors/Distribution: StreetWires Platinum
Battery: Optima YellowTop 1100CCA/950CA
Signal Wire: Esoteric Audio A5 RCA throughout, American Cable 8awg OFC speaker cable Silver soldered, not clamped or crimped!

I have a pair of AutoMeter volt gauges, one is to the amp distribution block, the other to the battery. No problems with this setup, but I am going to be getting a better alternator, 140amp, the OEM is 100amp, but the 40 is for lighting. The stereo is nothing compared to 440 watts of headlamps... it is a WRX, and race-ready for the most part, thus the stealthy boxes...

pics are coming.

The reason for the rebuild is this. I have a JL StealthBox MicroSub 8.3 reloaded with 8w3v3s, and I want the triangle brace for the rear suspension. I ahve Cusco coilovers, and they flex the tail something fierce... so along with an upgrade to the rear swaybar, which is done, I need frame stiffening. The dront brace was easy, a 5 minute install, so should the rear, with the seat out...

So I will be removing the JL enclosure, with NEW subs, I haven't even heard them yet... and selling it.

ebay listing coming also.

As for pics, I have one of the boxes mounted and carpeted, but no subs... those are on the way. TC subs are amazing.

I'll keep updating this and editing so that it isn't boring at the end...

I own the NA version and the alt is NOT 100 amps. The NA version produces 96 amps at 5000 rpm. The turbo version is as follows(taken from the service manual)
