yeah fair enough.

stripped most of the rest of the interior out yesterday. but couldnt find my torx set for the front seats, seatbelts etc.

also am starting to work out some designs for the fibreglass enclosures, molds, etc..

some gear started arriving in the mail today, so will be able to begin the build and start to get some photos up real soon....

this is not licorice, but a butyl rope that will go between the intrusion bars and the door panels, and any where else that needs some extra solidity...

and a cloth oem spec tape for all the looms to stop any vibrations...

noise dampener (similar to roadkill, fatmat etc)..

still deciding on whether to go a 3 way front stage, if so I will be getting 3" tang band bamboo drivers from the us for the a pillars

also need to decide on what to use for LOC- rockford fosgate 3sixty, audiocontrol LC6i, or alpine imprint pxe-h360...

also got my peepers on a 820wrms sub amp, which if I win will replace the clarion 400wrms I was gonna use...

always liked jl audio gear, alpine pro hub sucks imho, 360 has alot of recomendations and a stack of features,

top end gear scotty ?

arc audio the black series 6.2 only 1k splits and rated extremely high on the car audio scene.

nah not top end, got too many other things to suck my dollars atm....

but have always liked getting great quality/ sounding gear for the money. never been a 'ive gotta have all alpine/ pioneer/ rockford' type of guy.

they each make good products, but not ALL of their products are great. ie: focal 6" have gone down hill, unless you go realy high end.

research will reveal whats what, plus I enjoy doing the research. all part of the fun imo...

if any one wants killer builds, check out DIYMA.com.

awesome.

totally agree a full system of one brand will never be that great

I thought 1k for a pair of good splits was ok maybe a touch to much, its hard with a car like ours u need a charade or excell half the cost. one of the better systems I listened to was a excell with alipne splits in the doors and one 12 inch but just set up perfict and man was it a really good combo and not that much dollars. car choice is a winner

true, but who would want a perfect sounding system in a car that goes like pus?

my system prol wont wow anyone by listing the components, but the sound quality should measure up. im going for a real good prep foundation, with a solid build quality, reasonable components, and a nice attention to detail on this build.

well, that's the plan anyway...

JL W6 FTW!!! I've got 2 13w6's coming and currently building a box that barely fits in the boot (I hope it fits). I'll have to start one of them build threads I reckon. I'll probably just wait till ive got it all done then upload all in one hit. Hope it all goes well for ya.
