Default Stereo is finally done! Bandwidth warning

Dash with center channel for the 5.1and 7" molded in\fiberglassed and painted
After many months of waiting, I finally picked up the car Friday night. The car was a side project for the shop so they couldnt work on it full time, just when they had spare time. Overall I was extremely happy with the work they did. What I had pictured when we were first discusing the design and what was actaull done was way beyond what I had expected. I was pictureing something a lot more basic. The sound coming from the stereo is nothing short of amazing. The guys over there do amazing work, been going there for quite a few years now. They arent the cheapest but they arent the most expensive either. I learned over the years that you get what you pay for. Plus most importantly they are honest no BS, and they have great customer service, Ive blown a few speakers and they replaced mine out right then and there if its in stock. So anyone in the S. Cali area looking for work done I'd really recommend you check out Street Sounds Plus, this is my third they they have done.

hell i cant even understand why i did any of it and I did it! I cant justify any of it but so far my best justification has been "I did it because I can and did" plus it didnt cost me any different to have the TV's or not, I already had the equiptment and wouldnt have made a difference in the total cost.

I'm curious what material was used to cover your kickpanel enclosures. It looks like a woven material. Is it a carbon fiber weave of some kind? I'm just wondering where I might find something like that.

Its just vinyl with a carbon fiber patern on it. And an automotive upholstery shop should have it.

Most do it for car shows so when they stand by their trunk the TV's are showing while you can look at their subs at the same time.
Looks awesome man. Now, please explain the Kenwood navigation part, is this a seperate module and how much? I think I am going with the Clarion CD player and the clarion TV tuner but I would like navigation and I am not going to buy the flip out monitor models.
I bet that W7 pounds, I love JL audio. I am going with the 10W7. I had a 12W6V2 in the maxima but I want to mount it under the roll bar so I am selling the 12W6 and buying the 10W7, I can't wait.
