My system, she is done ***PICS INSIDE***

[BringDaBoom 10+ year member]

First off: A huge thank you to JC, Tom and Bob at Audio Advisors in WPB for making this possible. They litterally took a vision I had and constructed it into reality flawlessly. Also Can't say enough about their service and professionalism. No secret why I've been coming back to them now for ten years and counting.

Now on to the pics!

The factory head unit

Now with the Alpine IVA-W205

iPod interface cable running under the center console, exiting inside the arm rest compartment. iPod resides sunggly in there

Door with panel removed, Dynamat added

Hole for the factory 5x7 speaker. Notice the bracket around the opening. JL Audio did not have the C5 5x7's ready for shipping just yet to Audio Advisors. So we went with a C5 6.5 model in it's place

JL Audio C5 6.5 coaxial

Factory trunk

Enclosure for the 13W6. The original plan was to have a single port running across the top of the subwoofer. We later found that we didn't have the clearance. I expressed to JC that I didn't like the look of a single port off to one side of the sub (Hence why I wanted one going across the top). Doesn't look symetrical, a little tacky. So JC put in a call to JL Audio and they sent the specs for a dual slotted ported enclosure, for a nice even look.

Trim panel mounted to enclosure to give it that sealed off "wall" look. Amp rack mounted. Four screws hold the rack and allow for it to be slightly lifted should the spare tire really be needed

C5 crossovers mounted in pairs on either side of the trunk

Wiring running smoothly and snug down the sides of the back seat

Everything done and in place. Engraved plate at the bottom has the system layout, architects (JC and myself) and the constructicons-err fabricators/installers (Bob Mercer and Tom Mangs) listed.

Wider shot

And at night

System sounds phenominal. Plays everything really, really well. The sub doesn't add anything to the music at all. It reproduces the sound about as acurately as one could hope for. This allows for the sub settings to remain virtually the same for no matter what music I play. All the bass boost and treble boost on the head unit and the amps are set at 0. Should I want to get a little crazy I can turn them up. I adjust the sub with the sub level control, and it only deviates 4 clicks, between 8-12 (out of 15) depending on how much bass I want for the particular song or music type. But as you can see, not much adjustment. On classic rock, it's forcefull but not overpowering. Hits just right. For stuff like Lil Jon, it phuckin pounds. It's pretty fierce for just one sub and 500 watts. It more than likely won't bring home any SPL crowns, but for my daily driver it's loud enough.

The C5's sound really, really good. Very clear, crisp and sharp, but not the point to where its too harsh. Mid bass is great.

Lastly, I watched some action scenes from Transformers on it. I heard stuff I had never heard before watching the movie in the theater or at home. Amazing detail and clarity. Impact was ridiculous. Felt like I was in a big theater watching it, only with much better sounding equipment.

LED's

I got some laying around, I'm thinking about throwing them in my next install. How many did it take for that amount of brightness? If they are pre-made, then nevermind lol

They are premade. They are LED bars from streetglow. I bought three: a 20 inch for above the amps, and two 3 inch ones for the crossovers.

They are wired to a toggle switch inside the trunk so I can turn them on at will.
