Cool system installed finally

well i finally got my system installed and not satisfied at all on the installation part of it, but the frickin sound quality is incredible! by far, the cleanest, clearest, loudest sounding set up i have ever had. and boys n girls, i have had more combos than some of you are old! bought my first in 1979

if you remember an earlier post, i was going to do the install myself with help from pop. well, i chickened out and took it to the circuit city i used to work at. this ended up being a mistake ( i know i know but when i worked there they had some really good installers) because only one guy is left from when i worked there the first pictures will show what they did, then the second group will be me tinkering around with it to try and clean it up. i will probably, over time, redoing everything they did. well, except the stealth box, kinda hard for anyone to f**k that up

i know the looks part will get me roasted on here but thats ok but believe me when i tell you the sound makes up for everything

thank ya much guys

yeah the led hook up is pretty straight forward, each one has 2 wires. directions say connect one from each to the dimmer but i hooked mine to acc, and the other one from each to a ground and that is it. one of my led's broke during installation but you have 2 spots that aren't behind a letter so i left one of those empty. you can only tell if you are looking for it. i am kinda diggin the amp rack too, need to buy some more carpet for it so it is not so obviously pieced together from working around the holes for the sub and ports on the old box. as far as the powdercoat are you talking about my throttle body and maf? those are some pieces i got from Scott Jantzer and he called it candy apple red, it's a great color but i wish the STB was the same so as not to clash. the best part and reason i got em was they were both ported and got both of em for $90

thanks Ian i love the amps too, i remember back in the day when they were the latest thing not being able to afford em and always wanting some i still think when i have the time and money, i will buy some wood and carpet or vinyl and build another style rack so i can use the link to make em look like one big amp. thanks again for the amp kit and accessories! with your customer service, your business should do nothing but grow and grow
