Audio Install

[SILVABULLIT]

If anybody is interested in the sub box in the pic(same as the one in my car) Then sned me a PM as A friend of mine makes them. Cost around the $300 mark and fit awesome plus you still have got a boot to put stuff in. ;)

hmm few hundred more i can get the whole boot custom made, got that quoted for 700 dollars at autobarn. Thats with the whole boot remounted into a nice design with a fiberglass botom for the amp ;) and still got room for luggage. Only thing is that you lose the spare wheel . But i think i can sacrafice that.

MMM $700 - $300 = $400? Am I correct cause last time i checked I didn't think that $400 was a few hundred. ;) The back of the box is all Fibreglass and is considerably light. Plus side is you can still access your spare wheel. FYI it wasn't done by some back yard dodgy either my mate runs his own mobile audio business Urban Auto Tek and works part time for JB Hi Fi so I'm thinking he really knows his audio stuff ;)

that looks like a very small box for a sub. Is the volume made for the subwoofer or made to suit the boot space?

:) thanx for all the input guys (and random comments along the way lol)

i got the system installed today:

6in kenwood front splits: put the tweeters in the stock position

6in pioneer 3-way fit snug into the rear doors

Pioneer DEH 7650MP Headunit

12in Kenwood DB Sub

4ch Kenwood 800w Amp

running sub and splits off the amp.. rear speakers off the deck for some rear fill

ended up mounting the amp under the passenger seat. there seemed to be enough clearance for the fan to work efficiently and proper ventilation etc so went with that option. Only problem is now my genuine floor mat wont fit under there coz it'll cover the fan

so yeh.. *yay* good to have some bass back in my life haha. B)

thanks again ppl :D

The spec looks great :D

Sounds like a nice clean setup and congrats on the issue-free installation (with the exception of the floor mat) :P

Good work!

Daz,

Can you please post a pic up of the single din headunit which I guess would now have a pocket in the spare space.

Were they able to use the original headunit mounts?

What product was used for the pocket? (genuine or generic)?

All we need now is the sound track of the installer laughing and the picture of the owner's face when they inform him of The Cold Hard Truth ...

apologies for the late reply. the spacer was supplied by the installer.. its most likely generic.. he charged me $10 for it

[blue_rolla]

is it possible to get a pocket for a single DIN head unit so that the head is on the bottom and there is a pocket at the top?

Congrats on the new audio install Daz.

Where did you end up getting all the equipment and install done at?

Danz's system has a great crisp sound to it, awesome SQ.

I like the mounting point of his ground in the passenger side door sill and the drone box works a treat.

you guys who have put aftermarket head units in your car, how did you combat the fact that the stock head unit is far wider than any aftermarket head unit? i just bought the bracket things from toyota - which were a fricken rip off (see my other post)...

its so stupid that they made the stock unit wider... surely there would be a number of people replacing their head units.

Hey guys for the HU spacer try something like this from eBay. This kit will fit perfectly. also u can get an extra pocket inbuilt.
