Default Roadster Install

I just finished my Roadster stereo install. No fancy graphics or GPS, just pure sweet SQ music. I used the door pods and glovebox sub enclosure from Wicked CAS. The HU is a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS, running active Focal 165 K2P's and IDQ 10 sub. The amp is my trusty 5ch Sony Mobil ES XM-7557. I still have a lot of tuning to do but the sound is so incredible with my basic setup. I thought I'd post some pics. I know it's not much compared to some of the awesome installs I've seen here but I did the whole thing myself and am extremely pleased with how it came out. Thanks for looking!

I like the door pods. Pics of the sub please. Looks like a nice setup, not too overbearing, but dependable.

Looks good! That's pretty much what I want to do with my roadster (but with a car pc as well). How do you like the ID sub... enough bass to fill the interior? Do you have the specs for how many watts the amp is pushing?

very nice hehe, i think this is exactly what i would call a simple SQ set up in a roadster looks very clean and i know the IDQ is about as good of a fit in the cas box as it gets

I used the IDQ 10 per Bing's recommendation and I can tell you it out performs a nice ADS 12 I used to use. I actually have the output to it turned down a bit. The Nazar box and this sub are an awesome combination! As far as pics, you'd have to be an ant to get one as it is completely hidden in the space behind the driver's seat. The amp puts out a minimum of 75x4, 220x1. The real world output is much higher and it is extremely clean. This amp was put up against some of the best amps available in a sound off a while back and it won-against Macintosh and several others! I really see no reason to replace it, especially since it has a near perfect fit on the back wall of the trunk. I'm really happy with how it came out.

Thanks for the complements.
