Hello all,

Been watching this forum for a couple of months now...lots of nice people with tons of good info to share. Thought I would share my system upgrade for all those sound lovers out there. -especially G35audioman...love the pics of your custom install in your G35.

We'll have to see if they cars electrical system can handle the load..if not we might be upgrading the alternator soon. Also will probably be adding a Alpine PXA-H701 soon as well to complete the set-up.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

do you have JDM ac cont.???
i would get 1 set of iridiums and more dynomat

nice gear

 

Sweet! Nice set up bro! I have the IVA-d901 and PXA-H701, great combo :-)

 

To GedOut: Yes I do have the AC controller. And that is enough dynamat to get the entire car done once over.

To fxg35: thanks. Question: How much did having the H701 really improve the fidelity of your system?

Thanks guys.

 

Wow you don't fool around; how much is that all running you with install?

 

thats crazy, cant wait to see pictures. it should sound amazing

 

Hey man! Glad my system was inspiration for you!

Are you going to be adding a second battery? I needed to with this system. I also have a cap in addition to that.

Thing is, I did NOT change the stock battery. There was no need to. My alternator is still stock as well.

I've had the system now for over a year. Even with competitions and what not, the car hasn't died on me once. Just keep that in mind. Also, you might want to look into a battery such as an Interstate RV battery as opposed to the Optima. I have found those to be stronger and more durable over time.

I can't wait to see your setup though. It definitely sounds impressive! If you are in So. Cal, we should meet up sometime so I can check that out in person.

 

sorry fellas, been away for a few days.

Unfortunately the G is still in the operating room. I'm being told now that it will probably not be ready to go until mid next week. Seems like all the options on the Viper alarm has added some extra work. ( A lot of extra work)

Beowulf: Total cost with intsall is $17K+

G35audioman: I'm in sunny San Diego. Let me know if you're even in Diego and we could meet up. I'll try to take some pics and upload them once the car is completely done. Thanks for the info on the battery setup with your G. Since I've already purchased the Optima we'll how to see how thatgoes.

 

wow. 17K is very very steep. Are you going to be competing?

In comparison I spent about 8k with install on my setup...

 

yeah 17K is hefty but I truly love music and the systems that create it No desire to compete...and to be honest with you I dont even play my music that loud..at least not in the "typical" sense where you can hear the car coming 3 blocks down. The system as one can see is purely an SQ system but I love the EXTRA dyanmic headroom to play with. Basically its like this.....I don't necessarily bang the system...but when I want the power Its THERE! ;-)

...most of that price tag went on the components - the alpine head unit, navi, zapcos and iridiums were quite expensive when getting them from legit sources. Did not want to deal with the hassle of buying something and not being able to turn it in if the unit failed for whatever reason. This install was costly - etimated costs so far are about $3000 - $3500.

8K for all your high end components and that install of yours was a phenomenal deal!! DId you get a package price?

 

Very Nice!!!
