IGOTJUICE007

I just signed the paper work, here is what it will consist of:

HU: Alpine CDA-7998
Sub: JL 10W7
Sub Amp: 500.1
Component front: JL XR650 CSI
Coaxial Rear: JL XR650 CXI
Multi Amp: JL 300.4
Cap: 1 Farad Siliver Monster Cap with dig readout

Completley custom installation in the trunk, false back with a forward firing 10w7 behind plexi, each amp will be horizontal on each side of the sub enclosure also behind plexi, amps will be backlit when amps are powered on. The false back will be compeltely flush, its kinda hard to explain but im sure you get the idea, I will post pics when finally completed. It should be in about 3 weeks. Needless to say it cost a pretty penny, but I am real excited!

IGOTJUICE007

so how much is this all gonna run you...ive been looking into gettin something like this done too..thanks

IGOTJUICE007

Well with every possible expensive, including lights, wiring, materials and custom labor, and an 8 percent tax, it came out to $3400, I didnt get the best deal but I ended up with 15 months no payments, no interest, and everything is purchased from an authorized dealer, so if I have any problems it wont be an issue.
Ill give you an itemized account of the products:

10w7 $439
500.1 430
300.4 430
compoent XR 275
Coaxial XR 97.98
Farad 130
lighting rods 60
HU 700

Obviously there is still wiring and installation to inlcude

i will admit i'm not a big fan of the HU, but i get the feeling i may think otherwise once i actually see one installed. I can't wait to see the pics of it all

IGOTJUICE007

How come your not a big fan of the HU? apparently it is one of the best sounding HU's out, and the display is awesome, I wanted to put the IVA-900, but just couldnt afford an extra 1200.

Scott P

Honestly I couldn't tell you. I mean I know it is a great HU for sound processing, as it is an Alpine and most all of their high end hu are nothing to joke about. but aesthetically something about it doesn't sit right wth me which is why i think i don't like it. Like i said though I would rather see it installed before i really render a verdict about it.

IGOTJUICE007

Oh I understand, I feel that way about manu HUs. The reason why I like it so much is the oversized display, there is so much space because of he sieze of the stock HU, that to put a standard 1 din unit woulnd look right, I really wanted put a TV, but maybe down the road Ill upgrade.

i cant wait to see pics of this, i bet it'll sound amazing...

god dang i will be running a similar system... but ill get all jl speakers on all mtx amps...just asking why didnt you go with the 13w7? thats what im really looking for... i got vr csi's in the back and im going to get xr650 csi in the front and im thinking of getting that 13w7... and a crap load of dynamat... im going to need another cap for the amps i got 1 right now but ill need one for the mids and highs (1 farad cap should do i hope) and maybe 2 farad for the bass (i think it will be an 8100d) but you are getting it all done by someone else i have to do it all myself... good luck with everything and you got a hella good price on your stuff.. i dont know if it varies in price in diffrent places but the xr here in bakers,cali the cheapest i have seen is 290 and peaked out a little over 350... you got better prices then what i have seen around here... congrats and you will be happy with what you just got... maybe soo happy you will have to carry a clean set or undies with you (just incase the bass makes you bust a nut or 2)

IGOTJUICE007

Well i chose a 10w7 because i wanted tight bass and didnt want to eat up alot of trunk space. The box will be slot ported, so from what Ive heard the output of the 10w7 in a slot ported box is amazing.

I just got back from the place now, and am tweaking some installation things, it is all getting done nov 29th and 30th. So now I have to wait . But my installer told me he ran 2 eclipse 12s in an 03 acura tl, and didnt even need dynamat, because the car was so solid. So hopefully that wont be an issue for me.

EddieXo

i got 2 alpine type r's in the trunk they are only 10''s with a 400watt fosgate amp the trunk shakes way too much... i was at work and security was walking around and he told me that my license plate looked and sounded like it was going to just fall off and he said that the trunk lid was just trembeling like hell... not just to prevent rattle its suppose to make it a little louder as well... seems to me like a good idea.. just do the trunk and if you see a diffrence let me know... im just going to throw everything in at once... dynamat first and then the big boy stuff... to let you know i dont have the $ to get the w7 so im going to use 3 12's that im buming of a friend he is also passing me over the mtx amp.. and im going to head out to get my xr's soon... give me about 2 weeks... im surprise you have to wait so long though... keep me posted on your car when its done... ill take some pics of my stuff when i get it in.. late...

IGOTJUICE007

my installer is leaving for a few weeks to compete in some competition where the build a car system in 48hours. Its in kansas city, not sure the name of it. But thats the reason why Im waiting, and then theres also thanksgiving.

EddieXo

thats true... well good luck..

IGOTJUICE007

Just added the Alpine MP3/CD changer, Nov 25th is the big day/

Im having the metra dash kit done custom, the pocket will not be there, it is filled with plexi and will be backlit and will say Type S, the rest of the kit is getting custom paint to match the blackwood inserts as we speak. I cant wait to post pics. It hard to explain, but the pics will speak for themselves.

EddieXo

coo... i jsut went out and got my xr's and im installing them today and tomorrow.. a lot of work is going to go into my car tonight. i am stripping everything out to just prep it for the dynamat.. and then if i have time i will start putting in the mat tonight.. and tomorrow just hooking everything up and im going to try to make it diffrent... i went out and bought some vinel similar to the interior and im also going to go out and get some plexi i dont think ill do any lights yet... ill leave something for later... and i am going to leave the pc in the trunk job for later too... aight late! ill keep you posted on mine too.. witch are better the csi or the cxi? i have csi in the front and back... just tring to figure out witch is better...

IGOTJUICE007

EddieXo

IGOTJUICE007

The install began today, my car is presentyl in pieces , I will pick it up tom night, Ill try to get pics up after the holiday.

EddieXo

coo i started my install 2 weeks ago and im not done i came into some time problems and god dang work i havent had time to work on it... i shall also have it done after turkey day... i got some pics of the process of what i have...

IGOTJUICE007

well i went down to check on it, and man its hard to see your car in pieces, the painted kit that was marbalized is a lil too purple but still looks hot, the acura logo out of plexi looks amazing, it lights up when i put my headlights up, tom night it should be a done deal.

asloudasitgets

njtls

wow....that sounds impressive....where did you put the 2 flip downs?...if its inside it seems kinda redundant since you have headrest and visor screens....alos did you install headrest in your backseats or soemhting?

ou sig

YA RIGHT!!!! I DONT BELIEVE THIS

ResidualFreedom

Alpine CDA-7998 is only $546 if you do a search through yahoo, but if you're not paying for over a year, I hope they didn't add $150 to every component. but I'm sure you will get a quality install. waiting for Pics

are u fucking dumb?!?!? do you even own a TL? it's impossible to even have headrest monitors installed in the REAR seats??!?! WTF? or did you copy and paste someone else's system from some guy that owns a SUV?
