KS3 are great but the power/signal wire connections could of been better thought out. Would be a lot better if they connected into the rear of the unit then is the side.
Having them fitted in the side makes discrete fitting near impossible.
Mine is mounted in front of the gear lever using a bent piece of ally as a foot/bracket and some double sided trim tape. Wires then run under the ashtray.

There is one thing that I need to check on and it's a small clunking noise from the rear passenger side wheel area when on full lock to the left when pulling on my driveway, I'm not sure if that's normal in regards diff noise? The trouble is they are all new noises to learn about

it took a bit if getting used to to ignore it.

Stumbled across this on gumtree - ideal if you require a spare.

Only a small update today but a stroke of luck led me to find a computer disc box that was made from a slightly flexible black plastic with a textured finish to it and it's perfect for the blanking plate behind the KS-3 so using some card as a template early I'm nearly ready to fine tune the plastic into shape with a slot to feed the wires into.

At last a dry warmish day so I could get out and do a little more.
A friend of mine came around to help with the wiring as it's all spaghetti to me !
First off dropped the rear speakers in, I have to re do the bolts as the dome heads I have are not long enough.
Here's the small amp...
Then fixed the speakers in...
Fitted the Lamco's in as well, initially dropped the senders in the footwell as getting them under the bonnet will be a job for another day, my mates great with electrics so I did as much as I could then he helped out, now I have a few more things to do and he will come back to help me finish off.
One of the bulbs has blown so I need to get another ready for next time.
Also fitted the boost gauge....
I think they look great in white, clean and fresh in the cabin.

Cheers guys.... Yes the ks3 looks like a nice bit of kit, I have a new screen cover for it which I will do at the end so if you pick a second hand one up give them a call, it was free to 
I am a big believer in a few gauges especially on an older car to help monitor what's going on.

Just noticed something in this pic;
The centre hanger for the rear backrest. On my car it was bolted in, yours appears to be welded in place.
I unbolted the one on mine and threw it out.
Also, I'd need to check tomorrow. I'm 99% certain that mine doesn't have the sound deadening stuff on the parcel shelf.
So much for a lightweight version.

It's not like I have to remove anything to check either.

Small update at last, interior back together amp now running and sounds great.
KS-3 stripped down cleaned and a new face fitted.
Oil temp and pressure along with KS-3 still need to be connected but now all the cables are under the bonnet ready.
I've been sidetrack initially with weather and then work but now all has settled back down so I'm going to get a few more jobs finished.
