Help in installing speakers!!!

Hi, i just bought a MCS and i love it very much. However, there is a lack of sound. I decided to install speakers, head unit, sub and amp. Does anyone of u guys have the link or pictures on installing them? (like DIY installation guide) especially the details on opening the panel. any separate pictures will do. Thank you

Here are a few things to get you started:

Things to note:
it is difficult to run new speaker wires through the doors.... try to use existing wires.
When replacing door tweeters, the housings will need a bit of "retrofit" because mini's housings are not exactly standard.
DONT PUT THE AMP ON TOP OF THE BATTERY IN THE BOOT. You may end up with RF interference bleeding through the speakers.

Try SEARCH of this forum.... lots of stuff here. Lots of people here with good info.

Enjoy your project!
Donald
