Audio Install
 

I just had my full audio system installed. I started to tackle my speakers and such, but decided to go to the audio shop to do it. In the end, they supposed offered me a good deal...sooo. It's pretty generic, nothing fancy with custom boxes...(would've cost too much to ship to HI and a pain when I need to ship the car back). Anyway, I have the following installed:

HU: Kenwood DNX 7140

Amp: Alpine PDX 5

Front Speakers: JL C5-650

Rear Speakers: JL C2-350x

Sub: JL Audio CP108LG-W3v3

I know that rears aren't needed, however, the manager was giving it to me for an extra $60 which included wires/install. So, I decided to take it...can't hurt for that price.

Youtube link demo of video quality...welll attempt to.

Again, nothing fancy...and that little sub is THUMPING! I laughed when the store recommended it, but I stopped when I heard it after it was install

looks good :tup:

Where did you go to get the work done?

Nice set up, How do you like those C5's so far

Nice! Simple is good!!:tup:

Nice and simple I love it! I was expecting some thumping though :D

nice! :)

did you end up using the metra kit for the trim piece?

Car Audio Specialist. I think they have a place by you as well as in town. Just remember, they don't do custom boxes or anything like that.

So far, I love it. I'm no audio enthuaist, but these speakers amazing! Not sure if this the HU or speakers, but when playing music, I can hear certain instruments clearly and distinct.

No, the OEM trim piece fitted just fine. I believe that's more for the Bose because the faceplate is integrated with the trim.

Do you know how they did the tweeter mounting? These look like nice speakers but I can't picture how you'd mount the tweeters without cutting up the factory tweeter overlays..

I'm not sure..I know they didn't use the oem overlay because I have both OEM ones intact.

Can u PM me install prices?
Thanks!

I’m jealous…………..that is one beautiful system!!

I am thinking of getting that same sub. How to you like it so far? Thanks!

Where's the amp mounted? Can't tell from that pic.

The sub is nice for me! (I'm not an audiophile). I thought it will provide a little bass, more it does pump out more than I thought it would. It thumps to shake the rear hatch, but nothing "shattering":tup:

The amp is mounted under the driver's seat.

do you know the demensions of your sub box?

Nice u got a good sound system but i personally like a fancier install i always have it can be simple but must look good like it was meant to be there. I think a Zenclosure along the strut bar to cover the back and covered in that leathery vinyl would look awesome.. I used to have a C30 T5 this was my setup... the enclosure and custom floor plus t5 cut out all cost me R3000 so about US$300 (at that stage now its about $300)

not sure my plans bout doing a nice install of my sub in this car... any idea's?

I think that it's better to look stealth, so that people don't mess w ur car. Especially the tweekers. I'm hoping to get a hidden sub box in the spare wheel well.
