Default Couple pics of my system

I decided to post a couple pics when I got home and post the basics of what I have installed. The interior is really dirty but you will get the idea. The best SPL level so far has been a little over 152db. The entire interior has been completely covered with dynamat and we also used double insulation on the floorboard. Also the back half of the car has been filled with foam and it doesnt have one rattle The specs on the system are below:

Pioneer In dash DVD and NAV with 7" fold out screen
audiocontrol epicenter
audiocontrol EQS
2- overhead 8" screens in the visors
center defrost now has 2-4" mb quart and 2- 1" mb quart tweeters
kick panels- 2-5 1/4" mb quart and 2-1" mb quart tweeters
doors- 2- 8" mb quart mid drivers
rear seat panels 2- mb quart 8" subwoofers
rear hatch- 2 coaxial 5 1/4" mb quart mids
1- deadnaut 15" DVC sub
2- 3 farad caps
1- US AMPS 2000x-sub
1- US AMP 600x- mids highs

Default dam

looks good I bet it sounds better.


where did you get the kick panels in front of the doors ? and whats the cost? would like to see a image of the driver side door. worried about the panel interfering with the left foots comfort ( the resting position)

this would inable me to slap IN some new front speakers in without taking the door apart.

speaker? are they extremely expensive speakers or the regular priced speakers I'm so confussed on MB Quarts?

Thanks

Is that sub enclosure in place of the rear seat, or does it fit behind the rear seat.

The company is call Q-FORM and they make kick panels for about any vehicle. They dont really hinder my driving and I have a 6 speed so you should be ok. The MB quart I have are the Q series which are very high end. You can find reference series on ebay or online for a reasonable price. They recently were bought by RF so I am sure the quality will drop so you will need to locate the current or older stuff to ensure the high quality.

Good to hear they arent changing anything with the MB Quart line. I heard they were going to be producing them at the same plant RF is in and not in Germany anymore, maybe I was misinformed. Anyhow I have always loved MB Quart but there are many other lines with good stuff so it really boils down to personal preference. As for everyone else thanks for the positive comments.

RF bought MB Quart a few years ago, so any thing from the past 2 or 3 years is 'RF Quart'. RF let go of MB Quart this past year, and it's now owned by Maxxsonics, the same company that owns Hifonics, Autotek, and Crunch.

Good to know apparently I was informed incorrectly. I have been out of car audio for awhile and everything I purchased were my old school preference brands. Thanks for the update.
