Damn that's amazing. Looks really clean. I can't believe u are doing all of this off a stock alt.

I've seen attention to detail in custom cars before, we all have. You have a skill set that some people who've been doing this all their life have. What's different is that a priority has been given to the aural performance of the system instead of just cosmetics. It's actually hard to tell if you made it sound better or look better.

Fuck Pimp My Ride and West Coast Customs... This is a real custom car build. Kudos.

Both those custom shops suck for audio anyways, WWC audio guys only does sealed boxes, and don't get me started on Pimp My Ride lol

But this build is epic in every possible way.

thanks!! and its only gonna be stock for a short time....prob till i finish everything else. This car charges at 13.4 which is kinda weak. A full volt is a lot of lost output. The alt holds up good though even though it doesn't give me the 14.5v i want. Yet.

Are you pressure fitting your speaker grille in place or did I miss something? Amazingly clean build, man. Always an inspiration.

PMR was MTV's "baby". WCC is actually a kick ass shop in real life. I think the new show is MUCH better then the PMR shit. Ive been there before and they are as good if not better then most shops out there. Plus they don't just do audio, they do everything. Sorry but i gotta give credit where it is due because they do not suck.

Well, for everything else, they do an epic job, and I guess what I see on TV isn't what goes on in real life, they probably have good audio builds too. Must be nice to live in Cali to actually see the shop in person.

what are the grilles held on with? may just be the pictures, but the center on each side looks strange.

door panels look very good nonetheless.

I don't think they suck, either. They put hella work into those cars... however they have "form" in mind much more than "function". My point is that nothing out of either of those shows has as much balance of form and function as I've seen in this build.

I'm not so much knocking them as saying you got a good thing going on. again, kudos.

I think I'll get lazy and send my rear deck and door pods to you too do. Not lol. Really tight door pods sir.

Yes PMR was a dog and pony show. That's why they got out of it and now Ryan and the crew is worldwide. I remember visiting them when they were in East L.A. I wanted to work for them but it was just too damn far. I took a build I was doing and Big Dane wanted me to do an apprenticeship in the shop. As much as I love mobile audio, I could not justify the 80 mile drive oneway everyday. Now that they are in Corona, a lot closer, I wouldn't mind. But, the blade is rusty. I haven't touch MDF, Fiberglass, not even a 1/0 wire for almost 6 years. I wish I could find those pictures of that build, but between moving they got lost. Now that I have a new ride, and a little motivation from Mr. Meade, it's time for a plan of attack!
