Lol really. You saw where he made the headrests but didn't see the 15 pictures of them getting cut up haha. It's ok, since your a noob...


Niebur3- One thing that keep amazes me besides all your work is how much the CF di-noc cleans up the tan/black interior. I found a black TL back when I was looking and didn't get it because it had this interior and the ugly wood trim. I really like the look now though! Looks different and very classy/sporty. Nice job

Also, those kick panels are to die for!! I WANT NOW

Great install! Must be nice to have talent, tools and time.
One word of advice to those considering the kick-panel pods... alert your passengers and any shops you get your car serviced at going forward. I had Q-forms in my old Accord and had to do some touch-up due to wandering feet...but the imaging was great. Enjoy!

So the MS-8 is worthless since you bypassed it? and do you have a grand total for the install? parts only?

thanks

Gorgeous. Looks amazingly clean.

THis is very similar to what I am trying to achieve out of my trunk.

What did you use to get the countour/edges of the trunk for the trim pieces?

I hate cars

Me and Jerry had this conversation a while back. I think we both agreed about the overly processed sound. It was almost like it lacked dynamics after going to the MS8. I was afraid to say anything because I thought it was just my untrained ear but when Jerry said the same thing I knew the processor was to blame.

I'm going to stick with it for a few more months. It's getting better and better over time. Lowering the center channel high pass helped a lot. Resetting to factory default each time I do a tune helps tremendously but adds a few minutes to the setup time. I'm extremely happy with the setup right now but I may bypass the MS8 soon as a point of reference just to make sure my standards haven't changed over time.

I think the biggest thing to remember with the MS8 is that while it does a ton of work for you, it still requires tweaking to get the best sound.

Going to post pictures of my kickpanels from Jerry in a couple days. Very nice work. I didn't realize how much space these dome mids take up.

Very nice job niebur3 ! You make me sick I look at my setup that Im gonna replace soon and Im like Mine looks like doo doo compare to this . Well it will be 100 times better than stock though anyways great log

al.c

I just saw this and I'm speechless.........................can't imagine what you're going to do to the outside if you put so much efforts on the inside. BTW what size are those headrest monitors, I want to add some to my TL

Absolutely incredible install. It looks flawless I bet it sounds amazing too. Wish I had the skills to make something this crazy.

Pretty sad that this thread is dead, but I guess once it was done being installed, not much to document. I'd subscribe to any thread that Jerry starts documenting anything he does.

This could include flossing or making a strawberry shake. His attention to detail makes it riveting.

well since someone recently bumped this thread wanted to add:

I heard Jerry's setup at the KC meet and I was BLOWN away.....sounds so so so sexy....i was ready to hump that setup, until he said how much he had spend LOL.....

but damn it sounded so good and looked AWESOME as well....

I would be afraid to hear and see this car...
it would inevitably cause me to start over from scratch and buy a BUNCH more things.

^^^ and spend a tonnn of money....dude he has almost 10K in there, prolly more !!!

there was ZERO/CERO/ZILCH/NADA rattles....sound and install was CLEAN as a bish !!!

lows were so pronounced, mids were not missing, highs were balanced.....damn i honestly fell in love....then i asked him how much

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

So, basically you're saying that what happened to you is what I assume would happen to me and want to avoid. No thanks...

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ WOW Jer....biased to a point of lacking understanding ? thats a new side of you am seeing

re-read my post, all i was saying is HIS install sounds better than it looks and you are right it will:

A SiQ TL

In other words

swoosh

^^^ I know man....but the satisfaction is awesome....

if you spend 10K on the car looking good, SATISFACTION
if you spend 10K on the car making it faster, SATISFACTION
if you spend 10K on the audio, SATISFACTION

wish i had 30K laying around, (SATISFACTION) X 3

I hate cars

Give in to the sickness... We ended up with the same front stage somehow and I'm glad I listened to him. IMO, the e650 and 430 are the best sounding midbass and midrange out there. The 102 tweeter is great as well but I've been waiting on Jerry to try a 110 in the TL so I can copy him lol. For anyone interested, the 430 was klippel tested a while back and one of my 650 midbasses are being tested right now, the results should be interesting.

To ANIL:

Actually I'm agreeing with you and you think I'm not understanding what you're saying! Where exactly did I say something to make you think I'm biased?

I said what I said which was...
yada yada I don't want to hear it and know how awesome it is because I'll want it.

you respond: yeah it was perfection and no rattles and amazing

and I responded...yeah, exactly why I don't want to hear it since you're confirming what I assume would happen.

You guys are all proving my point...you hear it and you'll end up spending SICK money on the system!

bish stop using big words, confuses me

this sounds so simple....well anyway it didnt seem like that when i read your reply....

^^^ shit still not healed ??? I thought that was couple months back....

well get well soon and very very eager to hump your stereo again

niebur3

Feel free to hump away....lol!!!! When you heard it, it had 3 amps, only 2 playing. Now all 3 amps will be operational (sounds like a stars wars reference). Anyway, When you heard it, 1060 watts. Soon it will be 2540 watts! All ARC SE!!!

4th and final surgery! Hopefully I will be pain free after !
