Default PICS of new install!

Hey guys wasn't sure if I ever posted these over here or not. This install took DJSexay and myself all but 5 months doing weekends only to complete. But as you will see the results where well worth the wait.

The system consists of:

Alpine 7998
JL 300.2, 300.4, 500.1
JL 12w7
Focal TN51 tweets, 7w2 and 4w2 mids

Here are a few finished pics.

Not in some of the pics you will notice that the color match is off a shade <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> That is now fixed:thumbup: Who know that GM used two shades of grey in 99:thumbdn: More install progress pics can be found here http://www.fbodyaudio.com/gallery/1badbird . Let me know what you all think.

Thanks

Nice work!
Any details on the materials you used?
Are those Q form kicks?

NO Q forms. Everything used was custom laid from fiberglass and MDF. The kicks are one off design.

Did you guys cut the metal behind the kick panels? I've been thinking about doing that for a while to help keep space loss to a minimum. Looks like you guys did a pretty good job on that one, if you didn't do any cutting.

thanks for the compliment. NO cutting at all of the car to fit the kick panels.

How much cubic feet did you get out of thatr corner? Im going to be putting my Focal 33wx in that corner ported and i was wondering if you had more then say 1.7 cubic ft back there. How much power are you running to that 12 and did you use matting behind it? any rattles? Thanks
