Just got my car(03 CL) back from Zippos on 22 in Jerzey. I didnt have time to clean the inside of the car but anyways here are the details and pics. I am taking it back thursday to let them redo the front beauty board to make the top strait and to carpet the piece of wood visable all the way to the right.

how much did you pay for that capicitor? isnt it a bit overkill? i still like it though

dabusabus1

how much did i pay for what the cap? i paid $275 from 6th ave. And is the cap overkill? umm i dont think so i guess the more the better.

paul_huryk

I like your setup (the trunk wall) - actually it reminds me of mine, just that my amp is hidden.

dabusabus1

Thanks...my 1000x1 amp is hidden also.

phipark

I think you need a bigger cap.

Where did you get the kit for the z1 at?

dabusabus1

zippos made it

CL Platano

How much did Ant charge you for the install? I used to go to them all the time, but their prices became ridiculous. Great bunch of guys though.

dabusabus1

He charged me $800. That included putting in the avic-z1 with the kit, putting the TV’s in the headrest, putting in all the door speakers and the two amps, dynamat the doors and the trunk, make a simple trunk enclosure, mount the cap, and he threw in the steering wheel peripheral. I basically had all the equipment he just provided the wires, dynamat and labor.

Nice install, $800's pretty reasonable for the amount of work, looks good man

dabusabus1

thanks

no offense man, im not digging that falsewall at all, i like the parts good choices in most areas, and props for doing it, but that falsewall just isn't doing it for me....it looks sloppy....its not flush at all, theres gaps all over...it just seems like it dosn't fit...maybe its me, or maybe u just have to see it in person but man im not feelin it

NYZGREATST

what is the name of the steering wheel peripheral???

withoutcomp1

iTrader: (1)

I call them rippos, they are sloppy as hell. They must be hurting for business charging so cheap for all that work, my shop would have charged you at least 1500 for all that work the only differance is it would have been perfect. you got a good deal but don't forget you get what you pay for! Good luck with it

Why did they get rid of your card holder?

dabusabus1

Peripheral Electronics Model SWI-PS

dabusabus1

yeah when i first got it i wasnt feeling it. But i have access to my spare so i didnt bitch that much. I had them redo it but there are still curves at the top for the tension bars..and yeah it looks better in person

dabusabus1

lol they charged me cheap because i know Ant..but anways i got rid of the card holder because i dont use it.

gdubb

You spent some coin thats for sure

antrasyte03

A place that does really good work in north jersey is design tech on morris ave. in union. I know they did the install on Sean Paul's hummer, not sure what else they did though. I'm gonna see what they charge me for relocating the heating and AC controls in my CL so i can put a screen where the stock nav would go. I've never even heard of Zippos.

CL Platano

Yo Dab you going to the meet?

dabusabus1

nah i actually have to work...i just started my new job so i cant get off for a while.

I have to agree, not a fan of the trunk, it does look like sloppy work . I haven't had the best experience in audio work in my cl. Even when I ordered from streeteffectz I didn't think I got good service. I got a kit, I thought it would not take up the extra tray but apparently I was wrong. Not to mention it took 2 months to get here, after cancelling the order it now shows up...go figure....I have another kit being made I will wait for that one...worst 250 I spent

Cheerio

Yo dabus i think i've seen better work done. Still looks nice though. Catch up though.

holy crap. what the hell did you do to ur trunk...

just looking at it here's what I see wrong...




the guy cutting the false wall can't even cut shit straight - why are are these edges inconsistent with each other?!?! i'd show the shop these exact pictures you're taking and take that shit back. the trunk looks like it almost looks like a cruel joke.

and on this 2nd pic:



did you want to leave this bottom compartment completely useless? and why is this edge all fucked up?

ubnpast

how come you didnt want the solo x?

dabusabus1

a little too much bass for what i was looking for

ubnpast

How is the rubber material around the sub, is it hard or soft? My solo x seems kinda tough, maybe age or just made to take a beating?

ubnpast

Plain and simple, this is there way of making a bandpass box, you have both sealed and ported!! j/k. Not a bad price for everything though

dabusabus1

its not soft its kinda tough also

I'd rather keep my trunk empty and not be out of pocket any cash at all if my trunk ended up looking like that piece of shit. The build quality of the MDF wood irks me; I don't even wanna begin looking at what components were used to put this system together.

Madeline

yeah, I would take it back and see if they can clean it up a little bit. Really you shouldn't of dealt with Zippos in the first place. All you need to know is Street Effectz.

You could of attempted the customize the trunk and I bet it would have came out just as good or even better.

Sorry man.

No offense but haven't had the best of service from streeteffects and I ordered the part through the phone calls and mail....Ron is so hard to get hold of...personally I think the guy starts to duck calls, doesn't return them. I have dealt with way better businesses over the phone...One of my worst... I couldn't recommend them to anyone....

iTrader: (1)

I had my z1 installed, using the card holders space as well and the pics sure don't do it justice...I like it better than the modified metrakit...Oh and I will probably putting up my streeteffectz kit up in the black market, I have an extra kit...It does take up the card holder space, paint is not dead on, but it does look close, looks to be made of mdf...Some custom work needed, not much just screwing in brackets....

Madeline

None taken. Ron has always been hard to get ahold, busy as hell. Even more busy now with the merger. Don't expect to get his attention unless you have an appointment. I was strickly talking about the quality of work they do. It's unfortunate but most smaller companies that are quality tend to lack in good customer service. However, I can't say this specifically about SE because Ron has consistantly provided me with good customer service for the past 3 years.

I have no doubt he does good work, it was just so easy to get hold of him when I wanted to buy something. After ordering a couple days for the part to be shipped turned into months of no answered messages and I'll call you back in 10 minutes when I can research and find out what going on....I mean don't tell a customer your going to call him back if your not...

youngBuk

omg...that cap is crazy overkill..(its basicly uselss.)..any cap in this system is over kill. with 275 you should just bought a altenator and a optima battery.......
