Beautiful install. It's not really a car anymore but rather a drivable piece of art. You seem to have skills that I've only seen with Dave Rivera or the team that worked on those Alpine demo cars several years back. Great job.

So now what?

Thanks!!! As for "now what", enjoying the moment and sastisfaction of this project. Still have the engine compartment to complete and a few details to iron out. But one thing for sure will not start another project, my wife would kill me!!!

so the million dollar question how does it sound?

LOL!!! As we speak like shit...actually not that bad. After the show I'll iron out some xovers stuff, figure out why I got some "white noise / issssshh sound" at low volume, 'cause I have no idea where to start onthat one and then, once this is taking of, will start tuning the TiEQ30s, one for sound quality and one for show. One thing for sure it's loud, very loud and the bass, well...you can imagine pretty good...lol!!!

All I can say is DAMN! Excellent job there sir ! Thanks now my install looks like a turd. LOL!

Bravo!!! Very impressive! My hats off to you. Enjoy your vehicle.

how difficult will it be to tune? I was part of a build that looked amazing but was a huge PITA to tune to the point I was never really happy with its sound but was tired of standing on my head(literally) to tune the mids/highs amp and even then I still had to use a mirror to get the flat head screw driver needed make any adjustments.

My intent is to tune it to the point where it will sound good and happy with it. Nothing like when I used to compete IASCA and spent countless hours in the car tuning it, etc... The one thing I learn through out the years competing is don't matter how good it sound to you to a judge it may sound like crap and do no changes to your setting and the next judge tell you it sound amazing!! Lol..speaking from experience here.

Are you planning to tune those EQs via ear, or will you use an RTA? That's a lot of adjustment to go without any kind of baseline...

Game over. You win. Its almost unfair to every other custom compact/tuner/audio/car show competitor who shows at the same event. Kudos man, a job well done!

Lol, thanks...But no worries I don't intent to compete. I competed for many, many years and this time around I did it for myself. Also, don't need the stress of getting the car ready...bla bla bla...lol...

Lol...I guess so! My wife took some nice pics today and will post them up later tonight.

Very impressive sir! It's great to see all of your hard work come to fruition and then display it for all to see. Post some more pictures when you can, I love this install!

WOW! I've been waiting YEARS for this beast to be completed. Gotta be honest, this would be my trailor (actually armored transported) show car for life! I'd be scared to really drive it. F-ing amazing work here! I give you tons of props for seeing it through to completion. !!!!!!!AND!!!!!!!, I give the wife props for supporting such a HUGE and $$$$$$$ build. You are a lucky man for sure! Give her a hug for all of us fans please! Perfection!

Do I recall correctly that you are military????? If so, thank you VERY much for your service!

man he has a point about your wife putting up with this.

Here is some nicer pics of the car.

-Yes the wife is a big part of this without her support (not always agreeing)lol...wouldn't be able to have done this project.

-Military, 25 years and counting. Thanks for your support!

Just freakin sick dude! Id give a limb to have that skill and a supportive lile urs!!
