sorry hear that bud...to each his own what color do you suggest ?

as an install i am sure you know, as you said, we are bound by the physical constraints of the product and the vehicle when we do things...as well as by budget. i really tried to talk him out of a jl 1000/1 , becuase coupled with a 13w7, it just relaly makes it hard to fit it all back there behind the arch

oh well we will see, maybe you will see a version 2 of this install if we can go with some other amps haha

I like it. The leather is different. With that crazy water bottle thing, you were limited.

 

It looks like some pretty nice work to me. I dig the suede, nice touch.

 

yeah i like the suede too on the doors - something different

just not feeling the boot install

 

holy hell i bet that thing is loud as $hit.

 

Just by looking at the final product and thinking of the labor done to get it there is enough to admire it. Good job 16psibrick!!

Too bad you dont live in VA, you would be my go to guy....

Bing,

where did you buy the black vinyl? i need some for my arm rest since dealer won't sell it to me since it is part of the whole door panel.

 

come by, i still got some, you can take some

or if you have a business account, you can pick it up from where i get it in san jose... PM me

you free tomorrow?

 

sure,

I'm sure that a lot of work! +1 on different color suede, I would've played it safe and gone black.

Can those amps fit in the stock bose location? Does he still have the spare tire?

 

the amps, well the JL is kinda long to fit in there corectly, but htat wasnt the point, the point is to display them spare was never in the car due to the aquamist bottle

yeah, its not an install that is classicly appealing to everyone, epople either love it or not, but given the physical restraints of hte products and the space alotted, i had a hard time coming up wtih another layout

too bad it wasn't a 500/1 for the sub, then you coulda done woofer in the middle and an amp on either side... asymmetry really bugs me. but, kudos on the fabrication work, looks great.

question... do the DLS UP6 components use the same clear plexiglass crossovers? or is that only the Ultimates?

 

you guys dont know how hard i tried to have smaller amps, but...hmm someone didnt listen hehe, yeah, with a 500/1 sized amp, the whole thing would have easily been symettrical..

the UP6 is part of the ultimate line, but does NOT sport a clear plexi cover, everyhting above the UP6, the UR, the iridium and the nobelium, does

You should make new grills for the fronts too. Get rid of the DLS Basketball.

 

you need to get oer your hatred for basketballs :P is your set up done yet or what?

 

I just can't support DLS's decision on those grills. If they weren't in kick panels I'd just leave them off all together. Those Nobeliums look good enough as is.

No it's not in yet. I'm still working on the dash. I finished it as far as I care to for now. It's not pretty but it's functional. When I've got more time to work on it I'll make it look nicer. Or I'll just use the 2006 dash kit whenever that comes out. The HU and EQ are in but it'll be a little longer before I finish the amp rack for teh wheel well. I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet.

I may go ahead and finish up the soundproofing/dampening and run the wires though. But I'll be without sound for a little longer.

 

sad, i was thinking of countersinking them into my trunk floor (like you did with the ones in Ravi's car) and sidelighting them with red light so they would glow.

lemme guess, the UP6 have regular boring black crossover boxes?

 

yes the UP6 have regualr black boxes


my car is done with kicks and nobeliums oh man they sound great

so let me get this straight, if the owner wants a certain color, you will refuse to do an install, yeah right . you wouldnt be in business very long. looks better than 95% of tweeter installs.
