silverkord 05-31-2008, 04:10 PM After taking my car back to the shop to diagnose some noise issues, the manager wasn't happy with the way the last build worked out. After another 2 days at the shop I finally got my car back :banana:!

silverkord 05-31-2008, 05:02 PM Thanks guys!
clewttu 05-31-2008, 05:11 PM looks very clean, good job...dont think i could handle all that bass in this size vehicle though
morcheez 05-31-2008, 05:28 PM geez that car must be rattling like a mofo ...how much sound deadening do u have in that thing
silverkord 05-31-2008, 05:33 PM It is a lot, I have to keep the bass knobs down to the min at most times. It's nice to have the headroom though!
I have VERY little rattleing. I put in about 80 sq. ft. of Damplifier Pro and that basically did the trunk and front doors.
:jawdrop: that looks so nice. How much did it end up costing you total with installation?
silverkord 05-31-2008, 05:45 PM I had about 80% of the equipment already so JUST installation/tuning of EVERYTHING was about $1150.

Yeah, I know, I know...mediocre at best. Just trying to make your install look THAT much better :thmsup:
piranhaleg: I wish they were rockets...with all this added weight I could use a little help!
JamieJam1AIM 05-31-2008, 07:53 PM kord Big Improvment did you mention some of the suff I told you in the PM ? LOL looks like they employed a bit of it..... :)
jblaust 05-31-2008, 08:00 PM Looks Tight!!!
silverkord 05-31-2008, 08:08 PM Thanks bro! Yup, brought up a few things and then for the most part let the "new" installer run with it. He was going to carpet the side panels black but they were having a hard enough time keeping them tucked into the seal without the added weight of more carpet.
Thanks jblaust!!

Damn dude that's clean! Incredible looking. I'm jealous and have no more money for mods in the near futute : (
silverkord 05-31-2008, 08:59 PM Thanks bro! The installer is trying to talk me into doing a custom trunk lid liner...unfortunately for me he doesn't have to do too much more talking. Now I just gotta save up a little more $$$!
shocksyde 06-01-2008, 03:08 AM Looks great! My single 12" whimpers in shame and bows down to its supreme overlord.
str8rcn 06-13-2008, 01:55 PM Man that looks like crap you really should of coughed up the extra money for a full fiberglass and painted trunk.
Just Kidding (It's Craig from Jimmy's BTW) I'm glad you are happy with it.It looks much better,for an 8th gen.
I'm gonna have an after hours tuning get together for a few select customers and you will definitely be invited.I'm shooting for wed night June 18th or thurs June 19th.Give me a call at the shop if you want to come by.I'm gonna break out the RTA and laptop so we can do some fine tuning.
silverkord 06-13-2008, 02:11 PM Sounds good bro! I think I got it dialed in but a shot on the RTA would definately be cool with me. I'll call you later for more info, wed would work best for me if possible.

Thanks! Spare gone though. I had to have the amps put somewhere...and they basically took ALL of it up.
