yeah defenitely the one on the left, oh and nice. especially when the guy bailed. what do you think this thing is doing? 150s? 160s?

i like that alarm, gonna have to look into it. looks like a nice HID kit too. I'm looking into one of those myself. can't wait for some audio update tho

I had to work at the shop on mardi gras, and the funny thing is i actually had a few customers come in that day wanting to get installs and such. Surprised me.

So is anyone else here from LA? Maybe we can meet up here. Just a thought Toepfer

LMAO

damn thats pretty awesome

these are good decks, we sell them at my store. If he still has some i'd hop on it. You get alot for the money

i actually kinda liked to word filter just to see what it would put in place of differnet things. lol Altho the PM limit upgrade will be greatly appreciated.

wow, wish i could do that. simply awesome

damn its looking good. Can't wait to see the finished doors with the speakers in them.

oh very nice. i like those. wouldn't want to have to pay to have one fixed. But secsi car none the less

Ok so i figured this would probably be the most reasonable place to put this question. I have an Autotek 7100bts. Does anyone actually use these things with subwoofers or do people only use them for hi's? I was considering using it for a sub amp but everywhere i read people put them on 6x9s or on component sets. any info would be appreciated. Oh i know this is dumb question but what about putting to Icon D1s on it and running it at 4 ohms? wonder what would happen?

Ok so heres the canvas for the the build. 2007 honda fit base. um it has a 75 amp alt. Guess thats about all the info i have. The only limitations are basically the car and the electronics. I don't really want to upgrade the alt. Not looking to void any warranties either. I don't mind putting a battery in the back. Doesn't matter if the box is sealed or ported. Oh and i won't use anything bigger than a 12" or ONE 13" woofer e.g. a focal or JL W7. The object of the build is "LESS IS MORE" be that woofer size, amount of woofers, or amp size. Don't really care about the size of the box. I do want to retain the use of my back seat so everything has to go in the back behind the seat. Oh and one of the guys who i sold a system setup to and he got it installed at our shop i was bullchitting with him that i was going to beat him with just 1 or 2 10" or 1 12". His system consists of 6 kicker CVR 15's in a custom box our shop built with 2 3000 watt planet audio amps and i think 3 or 4 deep cycle batteries in a chevy suburban. mid 90s model. on 26" rims LAWL. So the goals of the build.... 1. Make all the guys with multiple 15" woofer setups CRY (literally) 2. To make the guy with the suburban situp and take notice. Or to beat so hard when he gets in my car he becomes sober. Whichever comes first In my store we sell Planet Audio, Kicker, Rockford, Pioneer, Sony, Extreme (a Directed Electronics brand), JVC, and Alpine. I think thats everything. If we can build a system from that, that would be optimal cuz then i can show customers what can be done with the right tools and components. Otherwise my boss will get mad if i take a customer outside to listen to stuff that didn't come from the store. (maybe i could get him to carry AA or SSA stuff after he hears it, wink wink) I've already picked out a front and rear stage. (I think) And i already have a HU picked out. So guys lets see what we can do. I have some ideas, but i wonder if my car can handle the amps. I would like to stay within a reasonable budget. like i don't really want to spend 1500 on a substage but if thats what it takes then i'll just save for a little longer. If the stuff is somehting i carry in the store then i get it for cost plus like 5 or 10%, until i get the dealer discount. I've only been working here a month so i'm not to the point where pioneer or kicker will sponser me lol. Anyway thanks in advance.

yeah thats why i got 2 ICON 10s so that i can show all the peeps around here that 10s can get loud as or louder than 15s

I couldn't decide for the longest time and now i've finally decided. And i'm going with AVIC-D3. I bought it today now its just a matter of time until i get it in. Hopefully tomorrow. I was bored so figured i'd post. Feel free to tell me what u think about it.

OK so 1/4 of the system is done. I have a AVIC-D3 headunit. And 2 10"D1 ICONS. So now i need an amp that either puts out 1800-2000 watts rms at 1ohm or 4ohm. Whats the pros or cons of running at 4ohm instead of 1ohm or vice versa. Thanks for the input. Oh and the box is going to be ported. At first to speaker specifications then gradually bigger until im happy

K got the deck installed. I'm extremely happy with it. While it was down i ran all of my RCAs and my remote wire so now all i have to do is finish building the box for the Icons and run the powe rand ground wire

steve i was wondering why the 3Sixty? I thought it was only really helpfull if you were sticking with say the factory headunit. Is it that helpful with all aftermarket stuff? just wondering.

oh and where the hell is that video.

damn those 10s look really good oddly enough if you went with an inverse mount style. Looking forward to a video to see how those things react to that 1500.1

talkin about the old blaupunkt radios that had a face only a mother could love?

I remember seeing one of your videos on youtube sometime last year. you had the two LMS 18s in the car and there was a girl driving and lots of window flex. Its cool to see that most of the awesome videos on Youtube are from users here. The 18s bang bigtime. And the songs are awesome. Thanks for uploading.

LOL, aparently there are alot of Audio places in Louisiana that have Extreme and Audio in the name

damn its too bad you couldn't get all 4 shallow 10s in the doors. Man i been following this build for months. New to this forum tho. Everything has been awesome so far. What do you think about the power components i was actually thinking about picking a pair or two up. Anyway awesome build man. Can't wait till its done.

I'm kinda glad someone bumped this. I hadn't noticed it before. Now i'm even more excited about getting my subs. Some guys from the shop were starting to think that it wouldn't live up to the hype that i was giving it. But now i'm sure it will.
