Each to there own & its your car but why a set up like that for ?

[nemz]

a pic of my 6" splits and also whats going in my boot, and also some of my random audio, not all my amp's/speakers are included, missing my ph2200.4 from pics, and my earthquake extreme 900.5, and tweeters and my capacitors also missing

but here u go any way

[el3ctro]

hey nemz i like those door pods!

[nemz]

they were actually in the car when i bought it hey, pretty simple tho, just just wood cut to shape covered in vinyl could be made very easy!

Do you have a back seat ?

[nemz]

no back seat , soon upgrading to 4x immortal 15" subs and chucking in both my phd5000's so will have even less room

[Lasty]

..............................................


I used tohave a pretty decent system...

... then some lil punks stole it 2 weeks ago...


... thought i'd share my frustration


................................................

[nemz]

wanna buy your system back off me?:P

jokes

sorry to hear man, i had a stereo stolen out of my skyline about 3 years back was a horrible feeling, was parked at my now ex gf's house, and she reckoned she knew who it was so i was looking for them for ages, even found out where they lived and went there with an army of friends to recover what was mine, but i never caught up with the guy or his lil hyundai excel unfortunately, lost my black series mtx 6000 12" and custom mtx box and my v12 mono block

[el3ctro]

that sux!

will an alarm system help much? (im still think bout gettn one?)

how could u stop that from hapnin?

[Ash]

get a 2 way an park within running distance?

[nemz]

bolt + screw everything down, the bigger and heavier your system is also the harder it is to steal, if all your amps/speakers/subs are screwed into seats etc + an alarm, makes it very hard for some one to steal, as it will take them time to take everything out, a theif will want something they can take quikly, cut some wires pick it up and run off or into there vehicle and drive off, so yeh making sure everything is secure and alarmed is the best bet

[ben23]

isn't it all a bit dangerous advertising wat gear you have in your car...

thieves know how to use forums too....

just a thought...

and if NUG93T is your number plate, should you really be advertising that?

[V1SHAL]

Pioneer 50x4 Cd Headunit

Pioneer 4 channel amp 600W

Sony 4 inch 130W Splits in stock location

Pioneer 12 inch 1000W Sub in Custom Box

[nemz]

also if you have a giant box with many subs it makes it very difficult to steal also haha watch a thug try run away with a box containing 4x 15" subs with 250oz magnets and 8cubic feet of 20mm mdf, this is my advice

lets see a stock gti run against one with that in the boot

[cmc-122]

head unit: Alpine (with ipod adaptor)
speakers: 4" fusion encounter splits in th front
Amp: 4 channel fusion encounter amp
Sub: 12" fusion encounter sub

Has taken a while to get everything and fitted by professionals but was definetely worth cash. very happy with the finished product

[Ash]

got a question for you all, how many of you guys got your systems installed by professionals?

I ask this as I have done a re-wiring for a supra, lancer, swifts etc. The only difference I can see between a amateur and a professional is soldering rather than just electrical tape and perhaps a certificate

[cmc-122]

from seeing my mates systems which they did themselves i prefer someone who knows what there doing and the peace of mind that its got warranty

[gtaye]

I solder and heat shrink everything when i do wiring sound system to ECU wiring.. So that must mean professional.. i'll make my self up a certificate in paint

[brame 9 GTI]

i do my installs by myself. my mate use to do it untill i watched him and now know the secrets.. he enters and wins sound comps quite often..
i also done the full install in my gf's car and boy do the Celicas have a s**t load of extra screws and clips etc haha

[Super Shooter]

i'll make my self up a certificate in paint

I'll make you a legit looking one with Adobe haha

[gtaye]

Get to work then

[GTI4DR]

ok,
My system so far:
2007 Alpine Type R 6" Splits
2006 Alpine Type S 12" Sub
2 Channel Eclipse Amp For Splits
Alpine 9881 Headunit with Ipod Connection
Eclipse 6x9's

All brand new, hasnt been installed yet, waiting to install the GTI engine first.

[Ash]

Get to work then

can i have one too?

seriously though, I am thinking of advertising locally for audio installs inc neons etc, warranty will be provided if it was done by me. i.e. the customer didnt tweak or add anything later.

been told by quite a few people, having done 5 different cars - putting in aftermarket stereo's, upgrading aftermarkets & replacing with factory etc, it is more than enough to start free lancing.

what you guys think?

[m]

If it pays the bills why not? I do a few sub enclosures a year to suplement my income. It doesn't make me a fortune but its enough to keep me happy and lets me build things I can't afford to build for my car .

[[IP13ZR]]

pioneer AVH-P4950DVD in dash cd/dvd player
pioneer TS-C1625 6.5" splits in front
pioneer 420w 6*9 in custome parcel tray
2x 12" VIBE blackair subs in custom box
soundstream XTA360.4 amp
schneider amp running subs
scneider 1" tweeters custom mounted in rear quater pannels

[Ash]

just wondering, how come people choose to have a sub or more than one sub, but also have 6x9's. They'd start to distort once you have the rest of your system running at its peak.

[Super Shooter]

i do my installs by myself. my mate use to do it untill i watched him and now know the secrets..

We can all view your work on Jonesy's car tomorrow

My Soundsystem has changed again this is what it has now;

Anyone wanna guess my favorite brand?

Headunit:
Pioneer AVH-P6850DVD

Speakers:
Soundstream Tarantula 6.5" 120wat RMS Splits up front
Soundstream Picasso 4" 80wat RMS Speakers behind Vents in the back seat area
Soundstream Picasso 4" 80 Wat RMS Speakers in speaker holders each side of parcel Shelf

Subwoofer:
Soundstream Reference R1 12" 800wat RMS (Only 20 brought into Australia)

Amps:

Soundstream PCA4.520 (4 Channel at 85x4 RMS for front and rear speakers)
Soundstream PCA1.650 (650wat RMS Class D Monoblock for Sub woofer)

Power Cap:
Soundstream SCX.4 4Farad Power Cap

Wiring:
Complete Soundstream wiring including Shielded RCA's, 4 AWG Power from battery to Soundstream Power Plant for distribution of power to each amp

Dont even ask what it cost!!! but it's extremely more powerful then my last setup, and much crisper as the car soundsystem has been built for SQ and not SPL.. so the clarity was the key focus..

Just some pics

[m]

the car soundsystem has been built for SQ and not SPL..

Then why the little 4 inchers in the front instead of a nice 6.5" :P:P

i dont get it ?



6.5" splits up front are there ?

[m]

LOL I must have missed the 6.5's and read it as you having 4" splits all the way around. My apologies

[GTI4DR]

Hi all, finaly decided to put my system specs up. the following components are not installed my my mk1 as yet but will be as soon as it comes back from the panel beaters.

2 Channel Eclipse Amp Da7232
Eclipse Monoblock X1000
Orbit Marrine Battery 990CCA
Eclipse Headunit CD8454 with 8V preout
Alpine Type S 12" Sub
Alpine Type R 6" Splits SPR-17S
0 Gauge Wiring from battery, split into 4 gauge wiring for amps.

[m]

0 gauge is overkill for that amp...I like that

[timmy_89]

Anyone wanna guess my favorite brand?

pioneer?

Nah man.. Fusion all the way.. I love blowing up all the new gear and replacing it every fortnight.. keeps me busy... Why did they stop making the oder stuff that rocked!!!

haha

Soundstream

[timmy_89]

yea the old fusion stuff was pretty cool im not a fan of it anymore but.. im a big fan of soundstream quality just not the $$

[m]

.. im a big fan of soundstream quality just not the $$

Whats sad is that as good as soundstream is today (and it really is good) it was a million times better 7-10 years ago. I wonder when we are going to get audio companies like we did 10 years ago.

[Ash]

i kinda disagree with that, as to todays standards in audio equipment. as the lower or 'cheaper' brands such as clarion boss etc, - not so much clarion, they have simliar products with a range as diverse as soundstream etc. years back soundstream may of been exceling in audio as they were further involved in their research, now a days, the other brands are up to the same speed.

you guys now wha i mean?

[scottya]

I wait till 2mor when i get my new gifts for the car
