Default Installation Complete! Come in and check it out :)

Ok, first off I want to thank my installer M. Biscuit who really poured a lot of time and energy to create something that is truly a work of art, thanks man! I don't think I've ever seen anything close to what he produced, and the level of quality/fitment/matching was astonishing considering the small window of time that he had.

If anybody wants to be put in contact with this guy just let me know through a PM. He's been doing car audio for 15 years and his workmanship is top notch, not to mention the guy is really cool. We've become pretty good friends through this and he let me come and watch him whenever I had time to stop by the shop.

The car was sound deadened with about 60 sq ft of FatMat on the doors, trunk, wheel wells, storage compartments, etc.

The level of sound/bass over the Bose 6-speaker system is hard to describe in words. The 12w7 hits extremely hard , but it never drowns out the vocals or other sounds during a song. It's very punchy and gets down low fairly well considering its a sealed box.

Setup -
Eclipse 8061 8v pre-outs
JL Audio 12w7
JL Audio XR650-cxi
JL Audio XR650-csi components
JL Audio 1000/1
JL Audio 300/4

Here are some pictures...I'm sure Biscuit will post some more when he gets a chance.


This is what it looked without vinyl and the painted pieces and sub

Amp Rack...I'm buying the Z emblem on the side of the car to put where the Z is on the amp rack





My baby stripped down, seats out, fatmatted, etc

XR650-csi's up front with crossover

The warhead is painted!

Biscuit working his magic...

And its done...



This is a shot of the amp rack vinyled...I don't have one with it completely done, but I'm sure Biscuit will be able to provide Oh and thats my extremely hot girlfriend in the background

Your gf looks mad that you spent so much.

Seriously though, that's one sexy setup. Nicely done.

Thanks, the pictures dont do the install justice. I'm going to take some pictures without the flash so you can see the shades of silver he used for the painted pieces and a final shot of the amp rack when I get a chance...

Wow. Extremely Clean. I was hesitant to go to this level myself due to the weight of everything. I even opted for the W3v2 sub to avoid the extra weight of the heavier JL subs. Obviously the weight doesn't bother you. Beautiful work nonetheless!!!!

To comment on the weight...after removing all the stuff from the factory including spare/jack/extras/bose amps/sub/6-disc changer we calculated about an extra 80-90lbs from where it started...not too bad : )

Wow, looks more impressive each time I look.

How's visibility with the amps blocking some of the view?

It's the same as stock...the height of the amp rack is even with the lower part of the glass for the hatch...thanks for the comments man
