Need Help? Let me know!
 
Hello, my name is Matt. I have been doing installs for about 8 years now and enjoy helping people if they have questions. Please feel free to ask. My aim and yahoo messenger is reimermatt. No question is to stupid to get answered. I will also post my work here as well.

Here are a few older installs 97 Volvo 850. It was probably one of the more easier installs I have done. Here are some picks of the install.:cool:

This one was a big one I will quote his review so you can read it.
So Matt helped me install a kickass system in my 2008 Accord. It took a couple of days and a lot of driving but it was definitely worth it. Matt is a chill guy and we got along well right from the start.

I pulled into his driveway on Saturday morning a little before 8am and he had all of his tools and supplies laid out and ready to go.

We installed:
JL C5-650 components in front
JL C5-650x coaxials in rear
JL Slash 300/4v2 amp
Infinity 10" Basslink
JL CleanSweep
MTX Re-Q
Dynamat Xtreme on floor, doors, rear deck and under back seat

We started off by stripping the interior of the car:

Then we jumped right into laying down the Dynamat .. here is the passenger's-side floor:

Door before Dynamat

Door after Dynamat

Fuse holder mounted

Cleansweep wired up, not yet secured
http://3rror.org/nkimages/audio/smaller/DSC00989s.jpg

Amp being wired up
http://3rror.org/nkimages/audio/smaller/DSC00988s.jpg

One of the rear crossovers mounted
http://3rror.org/nkimages/audio/smaller/DSC00987s.jpg

Finished!!
http://3rror.org/nkimages/audio/smaller/DSC00993s.jpg
http://3rror.org/nkimages/audio/smaller/DSC00994s.jpg

Overall it took us about 25 hours spread out over 4 days (with breaks and stuff). Matt made the two and a half hour drive up to my place twice without hesitation. He did great work and I learned a lot along the way .. if you need any car audio stuff done, contact matt (AIM reimermatt), you won't regret it.

Questions? This is your go to guy!
 
I cant recommend Matt enough. I started off having a few questions, and he answered them without hesitation. Im suprised how patient he was with me, since im a total newb. He explained everything from OHM, RMS, bridging, wiring, etc. Its obvious, he has a lot of experience under his belt and he know his stuff. He is more than willing to help. Any questions on installations, well this is your guy! Also take a look at some of his previous work at the other forums, and they look pretty solid. Thanks again Matt!

bigaudiofanat 06-26-2009 09:37 PM

No problem man anytime!!!

Revo Sys 7 double din DVD/Carputer
 
Install any one of these in a 350/370Z? Is this system sound good or best for a carputer?

Are 5.1 surrond systems in cars over-rated?

Install any of what?
Yes 5.1 systems are way overrated in a car there is no reason for them. Plus true Sound Quality setups are just front speakers and a sub or 2. And even putting one in a Z would completely be pointless there is no acoustic room for a surround effect in that car. Also when is someone going to sit in there car and watch a entire dvd? I mean I see no reason to have 5.1 surround sound in a car. Not telling you that it can not be done but it is not cheap and not easy to setup either.

bigaudiofanat 06-27-2009 07:32 PM

Did this one a few years ago but the guy was getting ready to sell it so I snapped some pics.
Here is an older install I did it was about 2 years ago. The car was a 96 Vw Jetta it was my 3rd time doing head rest tvs it was very tricky and still is to me lol. But here are some picks.

Front Doors

Head units "didn't do the fiberglass but and getting ready to learn it"
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/IMG_5282.jpg

Rear tv's
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/IMG_5289.jpg
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/IMG_5286.jpg

Rear Deck infinitys don't ask me why he wanted them in the back and the polks in the front.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/IMG_5303.jpg

Cd changer
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...a/IMG_5276.jpg

It also had 2 hifoinic amps mounted to the rear seats and the wires tucked threw the seat itself. There was also a box with 2 kikcer l5's. It was nice to bad I did not get picks of them.

Matt, I really like how well organized you are for your installs. It shows attention to detail which any customer wants to see. Your installs prove you know your sh*T, but IMHO you really gotta work on your builds. Nothing like a CLEAN install/build to compliment the brains it takes to properly install and "calibrate" a system ya know. Aesthetically, it leaves a little to be desired. SQ is where I'm sure you make that up though.

bigaudiofanat 07-01-2009 07:34 PM

For those of you that use yahoo messenger. Good news! I just made one it is the same as aim reimermatt

OMGWTFBBQ 07-02-2009 11:55 PM

Thanks for your time haha. You practically compiled my entire build for me. You have no idea how excited I am to see all of this come together.

bigaudiofanat 07-06-2009 01:37 PM

No problem man can not wait. For those of you who do not know I am being flown to LA to do 2 installs both in 370Z's, I will be sure to take plenty of pictures of both cars.

CrownR426 07-07-2009 05:10 PM

Hey, can you travel to Northern Jersey?

bigaudiofanat 07-07-2009 06:22 PM

Sure can!!

CrownR426 07-07-2009 09:59 PM

Okay, I've been looking for an aftermarket nav + rear view cam set up...
Still looking for something nice!

bigaudiofanat 07-07-2009 11:37 PM

I would go with a nice alpine or kenwood receiver, the kenwoods have better GPS and blue tooth, but to me the alpines have a better audio signal and better interface for the ipod, and the same rear camera that AK used in his install that I did. Feel free to hit me up on aim at reimermatt or the same for yahoo.

This is a quote from another forum about me just though i would share.

"This guy is seriously one of the nicest people I've met in a while, after talking via AIM for an hour or two, we met up and got my aftermarket head unit to work. Very friendly and well mannered. Def hit him up if you need help, highly recommended!"

Sounds good man that custom led headlight mod should be fun! I look forward to it.

I just finished a small write up about the install and thought I'd link this thread to the one I posed in the audio forum.

Thanks, Matt...job well done.
