robola 46 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 This week they delivered my wiring for the ICE. The RCAs are from JL Audio XA-BLUAIC2-18 Bass Control Features. Ill have to give these a place in the interior somewhere. This is speaker cable from Focal, and is sold under the name, FOCAL UTOPIA cable. These are especially developed for the MID and HIGH tones. You can see they have different thicknesses in there. The 2 thin ones are for the HIGHS, and the 2 other ones are for the MIDS. What struck me immediately, not talking bout the price, are the copper wires who are superthin. This silver cable (2.5) from DIETZ, Im going to use for the 16cm in the doors.

robola 46 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Today is the first day since my mothers death that Ive done something. There wasnt much to do so I cleaned up my working area first, and I immediately had a bad feeling about it when I started. My always clean and neat workingspace, will go to the ground in the not do distant future. Unlike the most here, who always build up, Ill have to build down cause Im moving. But I can also report some good news. I already know where Ill be living in the future, and Im working on my plans, and drawing my new future working space, about 40m² big. These are the things I need to focus on right now, to keep my mind off things. Im also starting this week with placing the cables in my bimmer. If theres one job I HATE doing, then its placing cables. Damn, do I hate that, I cant stand taking out the whole interior for this…but it needs to be done properly, so thats why I have to do. Dont expect too much of this, aint gonna win the beauty prize with this. Cause there never sat anyone in the back of the bimmer, I also decided to lay the 4 channel JL Audio with filters behind my seat, on the floor. Ill make a nice plate over this, as a protection. I decided to do this, so I can put this in the trunk, if its ever needed. I also add some extra cables for extra lighting Ill place in the interior.
Forevrbumpn Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Sorry to hear about your moms death man I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

robola 46 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Posted March 14, 2011 All the cables for the ICE install are in the car. Its been a f*cking job, but the worst is over. Once I hooked up all of the cables onto the JL Audoi, I let the focal nr7 did what theyre made for. Ive been thinking a lot on that moment, what would be the first song played… I chose this one, gave me goosebumps. Most of you will think: that aint music, but this was the moment for me to play this. Now I have to lay a couple of more cables, this for the lighting I will be installing in the interior later on. As for the rest, I just have to make a little shelf, where the amplifier and the filters will come, and install it after the seat. In a couple of days youll see some more pictures.
