San Jose huh? Shoot, that would be a long drive for me!! I'm in Fremont! Gosh, that would take about 20min.

We are definately going to be talking soon. I would like to get a set up like this going for my G. I am saving money as we speak. I already have some very high end SPX Alpine components that are about 3 years old, but totally unused. I have an Audiobahn 12" sub, and I think I have a rockford amp sitting around somewhere. I will need some rears, an amp to power the set up, some expert worksmanship, and I would like to include this.

PM me for a possible quote or what you might think.

Definately going to PM you later. Ya I know the AB sub is a piece, not to mention the RF amp. If anything, I would like the clean sound that an Alpine amp would provide as well as whatever sub produces clean, deep lows. I used to have a Kenwood amp with a Polk DX sub back in high school and that was plenty for me. Most people thought I had two 12"s, but when they saw the one box, they were surprised.

I was always more interested in playing a song the way it was meant to be played, rather than extorting the highs or the lows to an extreme extent.

I have confidence you will be able to help me.

Talk to you soon.

the biggest reason for kick panels are because it equals the difference between the speakers and the ear. the stock locationshas a distance of about 2.5-3 ft to the left ear and closer to 4.5ft to the right ear. with the kick panels it evens the distance to about 4-4.5ft each.

you wouldn't put your home theater speakers (L&R) unequal distances, suck as the left one next to the tv and the right one 5 feet away to the right?

like the others said, fins a car set up like this and you will hear the difference.
(i used to install for circuit city car and home audio)

how bout extending your trip a few days to do another one? (or maybe work on 2 cars concurrently?) would make the trip to NYC 2x worth your while :-)

i love the clean, simple style that you utilize in all of your installs. i'm looking to do an install like this but with only 1 woofer and everything flushed into trim panels with factory match vinyl, and mats to cover it all for daily driving... my goal is to incorporate 2 amps (sub and full range), 1 woofer, and as much useable trunk space as possible and retain use of the spare. tall order i know!

anyways, i doubt you'd be interested in doing a second car while you're out here, but PM me if you are... i would need some gear from you too

i wish i can, the issue is i have cars lined up until late august, meaning i dont have an extra day to spare iw ill PM you though

but i can always make a return trip, got plenty of family and freinds in NYC...the main issue is obviously space, the customer thats flying me down has a place and the right tools to do the job, if you somehow have a garage, table saw, air compressor and space, then its possible

Great setup! Good job! How did you setup your NAV for the white background? I didn't see a setting for that and just have the black background. I probably missed something.

on the navigation unit there is a button that says "D/N" which means "Day/Night".... if you hit it to make the screen white, then when you turn your headlights on it should go to black, then back to white when the headlights are off
