Damn, I'm not one for heavy amps and large speakers -but that is impressive. Would be worth the effort for looks alone, function must be un-real. I am envious, enjoy...

Fine. More colorered lights in that trunk than at a race. :p

The point is still valid - it's not for everyone.

I, on the otherhand, think it looks MAD PIMP!

Disregard that post since you have chosen not to receive PM's.

I was at Maple Grove last Sunday for IRDC. Well anyway I saw a blue Ford Explorer with mirror tint, 22" chromes, all the pimp light grills, and a Vortech Supercharger. Well this truck was the highlight of the show. But anyway did you do the install on this truck because the plates were NJ. And this guy had 6 Alumpro Subs (your fav) and 8 Phoneix Gold Amps (I see you use these a lot) And that's what set me off, he also had tv's in the headrest and visor and 2 in the middle console. The install job for the TV's in the headrest didn't look up to your work though. But anyway, was it you?

BTW it was two black guys who owned it.


P.S.-How's the SE t-shirt's going?

I will buy a Street Effects T-shirt if it looks cool even though I doubt I could ever afford to actually have you install anything. Just seeing the awesome job you do is enough reason to buy a T.

Well, the 5K includes the plexi glass, mirror, vinyl, MDF, hardware, etc etc. Just not the EQUIPMENT

You guys really interested in T-shirts? I do have some and I am ordering new ones soon.

Hey “Street”,

Just an idea:
Why not connect 90 degree Gold plated fittings onto all the connections and run the wires straight down through the Plexi glass.
They would be hidden by the AMP and it would REALLY look like the AMP was truly “floating”.

Shawn S

PS....Ernie, sorry if I just added another 500 bucks to your bill.

Well there's alot not mentioned in that quote like the installation of 2 1.5 farad capacitors, cd shuttle, IVA-C800, digital eq, custom Apexi VFAC mounting, all internal speakers replaced, custom phone mount, etc. 5K is not expensive, especially when you see the end result. I'm not saying it's cheap but any good install shop would be equal if not more. Besides who else installs a freaking piece of trim and breaks out a level, even for pieces that you won't even see LOL.

The wires are like that on purpose to stick with the general theme...all the wires will be seen in this install. Don' t get me wrong, I totally dig your idea....I was gonna do that originally.

And Ernie, I like my hit LEVEL
