yea go black, and clear coat it to hell, it would add contrast and stand out a bit more, and do an air brush on it?

lookin real good tho, pretty hot, 2 12s only?

 

Black or blue, looks hot man

 

Looking great. You guys are good. Looks like some WCC type stuff.

West Coast Customs for those who were wondering)


Looking forward to seeing the finished product....

 

black with some ABP air brushing?

 

Man that is gonna look sick. I'd say go with black. Maybe put some blue NEON in there somewhere to light it up.

As far as insulation goes most of what we're installing is going behind the fenders and bumper. As for what u see in the pics, that’s all dampening but that’s it for the dynamat. There'll be 1 more layer of a thicker material, meant more to capture some of the low freq noise coming into the car from the mufflers and pipes. In the end the whole trunk (the 3pieces) comes out pretty easily so I’m not too worried about it.

LOL I know but it's my every day driver, I don't need all that much. To me 2 12's is more then enough; I'm an old man now when it comes to sound. If it was up to me I’d have 1 good 10" mounted in a box in the rear deck (with the torsion bars removed of course.)



NewAys I appreciate the advice guys. I think I'm gonna stay with blue (abp) It's not my favorite but i think the black will take too much away from the intricacies of the work that was done (At least from what I’ve seen in the past.) We've decided to go with the 450/4 and the 1000/1in the brushed black finish and the alumapro Cap15 and D9 crossovers will sit in the spare tire well until i can figure out something else to put there.

 

Tweeter Pods





Painted

 

damn, that APB came out nicer than i thought. its gonna look great once installed

o yeah the tweeter pods look sweet too!

 

thx bro, i agree. I didn't think i'd like it as much as i do. btw: the pics do it no justice




nothin new bro, sry

 

those tweeter pods really the better place to put tweeters?

 

Not much but here's a couple more:

rear w/ tweeter hole cut


almost done


1 down 1 to go

 

On the car

 

You can put a much bigger tweeter in those than in the OEM tweeter sail location of the CL, and also you want the path length between the two as close to the same as possible.

 

^ yeah.
For the TL yes, that is the best place to mount the tweeters (without ruining the look of the dash)

 

Almost Done

 

Nice

 

that's sex in a trunk for you

 

Amazing.. wish I could see it in person. I'm doing some fiberglass in my trunk over thanksgiving, and I hope I can be able to get it to look half as good

 

what kind of speakers/subs are you planning on putting in boku?

 

Thatz hawt yo!

 

It's set up for two W6v2's but if i was to do it over it would be with a pair of D9's or even 2x 21WX's. But the W6v2's are 3rd in my book for SPL while still retaining a good amount of SQ so it should sound just fine.

 

i hate u,

















jp.

but do you have links or info on where i can read up on doing this. you have made me want to do some custom stuff now.

 

I think Selectproducts.com may still sell their how-to vids on their website but if i remember correctly they're pretty expensive. We've had them at the shop forever and I require everyone of my installers to watch them no matter there experience level.

 

Looks great Boku! Got any clearer pics of it?

 

Naw man, sry.
I'll post up some better pics when were all done. but we've got a busy week comin up so i dont know how "almost done" we really are.

 

that is amazing bro, NICE JOB can't wait to see finished center

 

just incase any of u were 1dering why no progress......
