Got everything installed, took about one weekend. My step father built the amp rack.

Sounds pretty good, the HU (Clarion VRX925VD), amps (JL 450/4 & 1000/1), and subs (2x W6) are great. I have JL highs front (XSI) and rear (TR), and I hate them. I'm going to switch to something else.

No fancy neon or anything, and I wasn't interested in that. Just want it to be installed clean and sound good.


BTW for those with a DVD player in your car I found this program called DVD Audio Creator which allows you to put about 50 albums on one DVD with a menu. It even lets you change the background images and menu images/fonts.

I have a yellow top, but the posts are backwards so i just used the stock one.

Nice!

 

why do you hate the JL speakers?

 

Tweeter is too harsh for my liking. I guess it could be the mounting position though. I will try moving it lower as Nazar suggested.

 

lower where?

 

I had the same problem with the tweeters. Up high was making my ears bleed and it sounded too seperated from the mid-range. I lowered them to about 4" above the mid-range... flush mounted in the door and it sounds great, as long as you are willing to cut holes in your door ;-) Anyway, JL recommends not putting tweets greater than 8" away from mid range.

 

good to know

 

i like the screen.. what size is it? how much? where from?

 

i likey. just curious though, that amp rack looks like it's screwed into the metal floor of the drivers side storage compartment. you do realize your gas tank is right below that, don't you? i hope you checked to make sure you didn't drill into the tank. that could be veeery bad... i hope not, but worth it to ask just in case!
