Hey Matt, can you also do install for alarm system? PMed

bigaudiofanat · 11-29-2009, 10:14 PM

PM relied.

bigaudiofanat · 12-16-2009, 10:14 AM

Very sorry to anyone who imed me using yahoo messenger. I have not sighed on in a while but now will sigh on every night.

LOL well I try my best to take my time. One install actually took me 3 full days to install aftermarket stuff and integrate it into the factory head unit. But I take my time and make sure everything is done right. Thanks for the complements.

No problem.

Not sure if you understood what I was saying: make sure your final install doesn't look like it was thrown in at the last second; you have to make all aspects of your installs look their best. Don't spend 3 days wiring a harness and 20 minutes installing an amp. Your installs (again, IMO - others may disagree) are missing their final cleanliness. Hide the wires on amp installs, etc... and you will be golden. Better yet, try hiding all components for that stealth look; you won't be disappointed. People will judge your installs by what they can see - even what they can't see or maybe know what is behind some panel.

*Looking at the links you posted in your thread to the caraudio.com forum, you take a pretty hard lick for installs. Again, I give you props for showing your installs, (we all started off in the same boat) but if you don't clean them up a little, people are going to continue to lash out at you in your threads. Just a little constructive critisism. Keep up the installs

bigaudiofanat · 12-26-2009, 09:52 PM

I will keep that in mind, If I had more time I would of made it nicer as I even said in the description of the install. Fiberglass takes time to cure and sand and paint. I had three days some installs only one. How wiring is done is important just as much as other things. The customer liked having the amp where it was installed. Plus cost goes up for fiberglass. Install looks great! though especially for being in your own car and being able to take your time I would say that you easily took over 4 days to do that.

Another install was done the direct link here " 'O8 CR-V Overhaul - Day One - Car Audio Forum - CarAudio.com " It was a 2008 Honda CRV came out great. I will not say much more as the customer "Adam" said most of it.

Directly from him

Today was the first day of my '08 CR-V's metamorphosis. With the help of forum member bigaudiofanati2 (Matt) - who I can't recommend highly enough whether you just need questions answered, want to hire for a build or to work along with and learn something at the same time while having things installed well (e.g. good solder skills, and methodical). We started with my car:

FROM:
'08 CRV LX, with Pioneer DEH-7000BT I previously installed (together with bluetooth, external XM module, but everything else stock (speakers, no amps, no sub - blah blah sound with lots of road noise).

TO (so far):
Alpine PDX-5 5-channel amp; Polk MM6501 6.5" component system for the front; Infinity 6032si 6.5" for the rears. Also, 3-bulk packs of Dynamat Extreme, Kicker 09PK4 4AWG amp wiring kit and Monster MPC I306 6-channel RCA cable. The sub-choice remains pending (but will be powered by the PDX-5) - as I'm still considering either sub-box location or some way of integrating a shallow-mount sub or the like in the truck (without buying a $$$ JL Stealthbox; I'd rather be a bit more unique/custom than that).

Well, without further adieu, here are some pics from Day One. The dynamating was all my work, so don't hold any faux pas there against Matt, lol. I'll leave it to him to reply and detail the considerations he has taken so far on the build.

bigaudiofanat · 01-02-2010, 10:34 PM

All new speaker wire was ran to the speakers and to the new tweeters. The original plan was to build up a mount with wood and bondo the tweeters into the sides of the doors. "might still do" but we will first test the system with the stock locations and see how it sounds and go from there. It would look slick and would probably give him better imaging. As I said still up in the air. Tomorrow I will be working on the fuse mount for the crv and painting that. Than Friday we will get back together install the amp either under the seat or in another location. As we have said we are not sure what we are going to do about the sub yet but it will probably be a custom box build. Which I will look forward to. Other minor things will be remounting the blu tooth mic. the sad part about this is that the pioneer is already producing a low wine noise "always with pioneers" so I will probably ground the rca's and change the ground point see if that helps. Might be changing the head unit but that is up to Adam and what the turnout is. It is going to turn out to be a good setup.

Did the fuse block bracket

Fuse mount looks good. Up here in North Jersey, I continued with Dynamat. Today, I think it was seven sheets in the trunk. Here are some pics before and after.

Tomorrow, big things happening. PDX-5 amp which was finally delivered being installed, dynamat to the floors/liftgate, mount the crossovers, bluetooth mic, put everything back together again the ... yeah, listen to and tune it.

bigaudiofanat · 01-02-2010, 10:38 PM

Drove down yesterday to continue work with Matt (after spending the day before putting in my trunk Dynamat, as shown above). Wrapped up everything nicely - Dynamat to the floors, amp installed, custom fuse bracket and sheet metal bluetooth mic bracket installed. The Alpine PDX-5 is awesome - so small and the verification sheet from the factory - well, a pic is below; obviously they severely underrate the powerhandling ability of them. I'll let Matt fill in any details from yesterday i'm forgetting. Again, can't recommend working with him highly enough. Learned a lot yesterday and his attention to detail is very significant.

fairladyZ34 · 01-07-2010, 12:02 AM

i was wondering if a 6.5 inch sub would fit in the rear speaker opening for the 370z? it would seem kinda cool to pull off and would save trunk space
