I was contacted 2 weeks ago by a women who was very unhappy with a detail she had got on her white accord. On her words there were spots all over the car and she was worried they wouldn't come out as she had washed it a few time with no luck. After discussing the options she went with a 1 step correction and wolfgang sealant for the upcoming winter months. The car was not in bad condition at all just that the entire car was covered in what I can only describe as either a crappy wax or left polish.

A fellow customer who I did a audio system for contacted me about getting his corvette winterized and cleaned up. We decided to just do the exterior and worry about getting a full 2 stage + interior done in the spring. This was my first time working with corvette clear and even with MF pads as well as an assortment of polishes to work with it was no easy task. I ended up switching between M101 and FG400 in the process, I added a stage 2 correction to the hood as it became very finicky too work with to get a proper correction with a one stage.

Products used:

Auto Finesse Lather

I'm new to the forum, but can really appreciate a high quality detail, can you PM me a price for an exterior detail?

Hey Brian! Let me just start by saying thank you for taking the time to answer questions from noobs like me. It's truly great to have someone who likes to help for the sake of helping.

Couple of questions:

I just took ownership of a used Nismo. It came with a Kenwood DDX770 head unit with stock speakers. I'm going to upgrade the speakers with a Hertz HDP4 amp, HSK165XL component speakers, and a 10" JL 10w3v3-4 sub.

I plan on using the amp with the two fronts off channel A, and bridging the outs for the sub. Should net 150w fronts, and 500 rear.

The Kenwood head unit (DDX770) has a sub out (looks like an RCA splitter). The question is should I use that out and go to channel 'B', or let the amp mix the out through the A channel? Like this:

amp wire.pdf

The second question is what rear camera should I use with this head unit? It seems that any would work (?) with an RCA out/in?

Thanks again man!

-Doug

Any tips on installing the zenclosures 6.5" speaker spacer's on top of or in replacement of the Bose 6.9 door plate? Not sure if I should just install with just two holes bolted down or not. There's a lot of extra space in the baffle as well.

I've been trying to find pics or a walkthrough for this, but I've not come up with anything yet. I was looking at Sliknik's video's also, but he has the base model and had 6.5's to begin with. Search comes up with nothing useful I'm afraid. :/

Any tips would be fantastic.

Thanks!

I recently had a Pioneer X850BT installed in my 2012 370Z Roadster. As soon as I start the engine I hear an annoying hiss from the factory Bose speakers without turning on any audio source. I took it back to the installer who told me there was nothing he could do. He told me there is no preamp which is usually the cause. Any suggestions? Gene

Sounds like the RCA's are not installed properly or the factory amp is not grounded. There is plenty they could do.

Get your remote start done the proper way. Installed a Compustar CS-800 today in a 2007 Hyundai Sonata today. All wiring was prepped ahead of time and twisted to lose slack.

Installed antenna

Installed the brain behind the fuse box out of sight and away from everything. Than routed all wires to their locations.

All wires shortened and installed.

I was wondering if i can mount my kenwood amp just behind the seat vertically in that space. Would i be drilling into anything to mount it there? Also amp wire from the battery comes through the fire wall where? I have installed before but not in this tight car. Help please. Thanks.

Are you talking about above the carpet area towards the floor? Running the power wire you simply remove the shroud behind the battery and remove the electrical tape around the black grommet, slide your new power wire through there and it comes out inside at the passengers area
