After a year and a half, I had enough..

of working on weekends in the weird Houston weather (especially the heat and the mosquitoes). After several systems and setup configurations. My car is finally done. It still needs a little bit more work in the right side of the trunk but not much. No more working on my car for a while. I'm so tired now.

Let me know if you think my labor is worthed it.

the blue accent lights are a great touch. A very clean install. Be proud. Show it off. Just don't break anything....



oh yeah...your trunk looks awesome.....i like the symmetrical install...and a nice, clean use of plexi...

cuc36,
Thanks for the compliment. I'm gonna have to repaint my trunk lid before I can show it.



BTW, spare tire and stock tools and my tools are under the middle panel. Forgot to take some pics down there

I knooooow what you mean, brotha!! Well worth it man!!!! You'll get that feeling every time you sit in your FINISHED car.

No add-on for a loooong time..well maybe a little here and there. But no more major overhauls, right??

Next time I'm changing stuff around is when i sell my "trunk" to someone so I can put it back to stock. Which may be a bit sooner then I expect.

looks like a lot of sweat and heart went into that system...much props...

I would like to, in the future, add a DVD, back up cam, and a Navi system. Can that screen take all three inputs at once?

langjae,
Are you telling me that you are gonna sell all your stuff and start fresh again. If that is the case, good luck, bro.

Nicky Pass,
No, I do not want to go to Chicago. How about driving your car here?

chikai,
Yup, my screen has Navi input 2 sets of A/V inputs and Camera input.

SilverKnight,

Looks Good as Hell. Great Job on it Man. Congrats.

Jonathan,
What you need to do is make the mounting brackets for the X-overs, mount them and then make the cover with the X-over cut-outs. It's pretty simple.

I like the sound of 1 10" ... You cannot be heard down the block but it sounds awesome inside the car ... and maybe outside too

I'll haveto come see it for myself one of these days since I can't see the pics Now of course when you say you're almost done, we all know you're lieing You'll never ever be done

But if it's anything like the last time I saw and heard it, i'm pretty sure it's kickass and sounding really good.

Wow Mr SilverKnight. Those burlwood pieces around your deck really finsihed it off. The trunk looks amazing too. Mine is so far from being done right now...I'm so envious of you. I have over 15 hours in just ONE of my FIVE fiberglass pieces so far....I can't wait to be finished. Great job!

Hey JSuppi,
SilverKnight system is the bomb...especially when he recently re-did everything. I thought mine rocks until I listened to his...

Hey i saw you have Koni yellows. Are they stiff? I had Koni Yellow and Eibach springs (prokit) on my Integra...Koni is stiff as hell (for me). I had it on the softest setting and still they're stiff...but it corners like a dream though BTW, man your 2nd tranny dies at 49K? That's bad but in a good way cuz warranty expires at 50K...look like you "checked in" on time
