The ICE Setup
ICE setup
Kenwood KDC5033U
Rear USB/Flip down CD/MP3/FM
JBL GTO937 + full size dual enclosure (Wagon R). Makes subwoofer kinda deep bass.
Kenwood KFC-1654. Actually 4-incher of the same came bundled with the HU, swapped with 6 incher of the same. Had to pay extra. Wasn't much into car audio then, else would have opted for something better. Still this sounds good, with great mid range clarity.
Finally DIY Aux IN >> Kenwood Aux-In DIY

LED turn indicator/side marker. Amber and white work independently when operated independently. White will alternate with amber when both are on. Simple relay technique. Clear lens side indicator from Last generation old Zen.

ICE upgrade
Old Kenwood 5-1/4 inch speaker. Was a good midrange speaker. Jars at mid volumes.
JBL GT6-S266 removed from Grey Skid
Grille was 2 piece. Used the frame alone so that screw won't screw up the speaker. Grille couldn't be fixed inside door pad. So let it go.
55W RMS. No signs of jarring even at full volume.
Wrong spacer. 6-inch spacer, 6-1/2-inch speaker.
L'il bit mod and it fits.
Something everyone will hate. Removing the tarry thing sticking the plastic sheet inside door pad. On right side door, used blade. More than 50% remain. Idea came late, used turpentine and fully removed in 5 min in left door pad.
Stock location. Car came with that frame, fits only 5-1/4 speaker. and comes with 3 hole mount.
After all cleanup.
Damped and installed. Hole in door and spacer was of almost same size, so couldn't drill the door and fix the spacer. Instead made custom clamps out of some metal strips.
Final.

It's basically old Zen, last type's side indicator. Same as Estilo's with clear cover.
One set of amber for indicator and one set of white for side marker. Side marker is connected via a relay such that relay cuts the signal when indicator is on. Amber fed directly to indicator. Simple
Here is the quick demo video.

Thanks for the info. Is this relay easily available or should we do it (DIY)..
