Yes...those are some of the sexiest xovers I have seen. The speakers that go with them are just as hot too.

with all the jumpers in there it reminds me of the old xtant amps. The ones you HAD to read the instructions to install, they were sexy too.

You certainly are not going to hide those up in a dash of any of yer benzes are ya???

Man you just have too love Hertz...had two he series 10's and they kicked ass. those are huge....

Audi RS4 and yes they will be hidden. I hide everything now a days. Unless the client states to floss it or the manufacturer gives me the gear for free.

the Audison amp will be hidden also, along with the separates, and the Mille sub... I'd hide the radio to but it wouldn't be easy to operate

such a shame not to show them in some simple but cool way but what can ya do?

Mount them in the doors and put a removable cover over them. When the cover is on make it look as though it is a seam?????

why? who cares as long as it sounds great? I wouldn't cut up the doors to install them anyways unless it was a demo vehicle or a customer request... I rather him tell everyone he only has a radio installed

since it is the only visible sign of a modification

the crossovers...

the Audi had this aluminum rectangle in the back

what better to mount them too, took off the 2 inner ends and made it one for room

this is just some of the random build pics i had, i will take some of the completed install tomorrow or the next day

also I did steering wheel controls and video in motion

door speakers are the Mille MLK2's from Hertz... my god the detail and midbass these things have... 100x better than the Morels/PG Elite

Here is a pic I tossed some scrap Hushmat around the factory ABS mounts to add some mass for resonance control... and about 6 sheets to the door panel itself...

Classic Jbondox. Me likey so far

I like hiding everything... you really need to hear this to appreciate it though... everything is there, impact, stage, height, volume, output, width, and separation... It'll be here to Thursday if anyone is around

Post by **ttocs** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 8:12 pm

looks good as usual man, good to see your work again.

Although I am suprised to see you are using scrap pieces. I figured if you didn't have a fresh sheet that was new and unwrinkeled that the germans would stop the delivery at the door.

isn't the retail on the mille 6.5s like 2 g's....there is a set on ebay for 1200...yikes

Now that's cost effective! Not at my poor ass house!

jbondox · Post by **jbondox** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:34 am

no scraps, had to cut it at scrap lengths

mille is $2k

The eBay ones are used, which I could never buy used.

The Germans...LOL

they do have some very nice build quality cars though.

Nice install, x-overs look purdy.

jbondox · Post by **jbondox** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 5:37 am

Thanks,

Dat, all is good, hope all is well with yours.

I changed some stuff at the last minute though, I did end up putting a grill on it, as per the customer request, though for some reason he only wanted it from the handle down??? I will get some pics

If you were to install the speakers active, what crossover/signal processor do you use or would you recommend?
