Installation Description
The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X889 runs everything with SRS WOW effects and 5-volt preamp outs. In the front door panels are 6.5" 4-way Sony XS-V1641H. Then in the rear deck is a pair of component 6.5" Kenwood KFC-P605ie. These speakers are run off of an Audiobahn A6004T amp that delivers 75 watts RMS X 4.
The subs and amps were installed so that the spare tire was still accessible. The pair of 12" Audiobahn AW1206T subs have peak power-handling of 2,200 watts each, and are in a sealed Q-Logic QLH-.8512DE box. The subs are each powered by an Audiobahn A8000T amp. The amps, crossovers, capacitors, and distribution blocks are mounted on a carpeted board that creates trunk space while still allowing the spare tire to be removed.
