[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8631011, member: 633600"] Hey guys, another build in the books. This one was pretty quick. A new member of another forum was looking for some guidance about various estimates/advice some other shops gave him. Thankfully after giving him some advice, John put his faith in my and let me have a go at the install. He dropped his car off and hung out at the shop this past saturday with me and a few other customers of mine checking out their cars, talking, etc etc. It was fun. The goal for this build was make it as budget friendly as possible, while getting the most out of it in terms of SQ and leave room for possible upgrades. Equipment list as follows. SB Acoustics SB17CRC35-4 Mids SEAS Prestige 27TAFNC/G Tweeters Zapco ST-6X SQ ST-500XM II Audiofrog G12 subwoofer Helix DSP.2 For anyone wondering, this is the base model radio without a subwoofer or amplifier. The front left and right speaker level signal was grabbed and needed some input eq correction on the low end as there was a high pass filter applied. The rear speakers also had a high pass, so i didnt bother using those as the front speakers are what get bluetooth, chimes, and prompts. Heres John's new baby..
