Awsome installation, how does it sound? are you pleased with the result and value for money?

It sounds great.

The Boston Pros are known for being a bit harsh, but i chose them because they are suited to the type of music i listen to.

The Vibe BlackAir2s go hard too and are meant to be alot better than the first series.
and
The Zapcos shell out more than enough power.

Whoa! that is one sweet sound system and it looks the bomb as well

You must be very serious about your music, dare I ask how much that system and install cost? :p

he sure does a good job aye

i'll be down there for the next few weeks. i have got all my components, just gettin the custom install done now.

what type of music do you listen to, as i am also considering getting the pro's or looking at getting the elate6 & supremo combo that marty has in his s15 atm

i listen to rnb, rap n stuff like that

elates and supremos are a quite high end selection. If you're not prepared to spend a lot of time tuning you're never going to make the most of the large price tag.

Although they should suit your music style quite well.

I've recently bought some Rainbow Profi Vanadium splits for my front stage.

I listen to all kinds of music ranging metallica and ramstein to butterfingers to cat empire to lostprophets to muse to rage against the machine.

yeh. its second hand ( out of marty's car) and its selling for cheap. its got the custom crossover already and i know its been looked after so thats why i am considering getting them.

my mate's already got the pro's so i might just get the morel's just so i can be different

It's a little hard to tell from the pics, but how easy is it to get to the spare wheel?

DB0984

its a bit of work to get to the spare. Amp window comes out. Sub box gets pushed towards the front of the car and the amp rack pops out to get to the spare.

damn! I'm probably going to build something similar soonish, one of my subs has finally started to scrape so its time for new ones that can handle the power :D

thats pretty much exactly wat i want for my car except ill use a prefab box and i just want a amp sunk into the floor maybe the side parts aswell to tidy it all up. if u dont wanna post it up can u pm me a rough figure of the install its self without subs and amps just fabricating the install basically

papatonga

im guessing it would be around the 1k mark at least

marty (fhrx studios) is the best in the business when it comes to installing and fabricating things.
