ive been pretty busy doing all kinds of stuff. unfortunately im horrible about taking pictures or vids so heres just a couple picks from the finished products.

suede headliner! and i put a layer of d-pro on the roof when i had the headliner out. and some spl tiles courtesy of beatbox for the sweet deal :good:

new mids/highs amp. not sure i like it though. got some knu 4-channel rca's seem to be working pretty good. hell of a deal too. knukonceptz ftw!

added the factory fog light switch. waiting for my hid bulbs then ill add my new fogs

modified center console to hold my ipod. apple a/v cable ran to deck so i can watch my movies

and finally my components up front. some kenwood excelon xr-s17p's. i love these. i didnt need the shallow feature of them but i got a killer deal. thinking of switching to some diamond d6 components though. they have more midbass then these imo.

Nice HIDs, I like your battery and camera placements. Also, I love your man pedal (Stick FTW)

Is that head unit a double din? if so, was it difficult to install? My friend still needs a head unit for his explorer and he really wants a double din, but doesn't know if it would fit.

to fit the double din i had to trim the top and bottom of the radio hole in the bezel flush. sides were okay though. then to mount it i just used some backstrap mounted to the bezel.

running two jl 10w0s in a prefab. got these free a while ago working at for a dealership. i might rebuild the box and see what i can get out of them.

IMG00123-20101003-2044.jpg

yup im still running the hc800 in back. no voltage drop here :yahoo::rofl:

IMG00125-20101003-2044.jpg

using my zx350.4 for the sub amp. its the only low power amp i have. and it sounds better pushing the subs vs my mids imo.

IMG00117-20101003-2041.jpg

IMG00116-20101003-2041.jpg

and ive got the 4xs feeding my mids n highs. i think the sub channel may be out but im not sure

k so once i sold my pair of 15's ive been switching between all kinds of setups. the 1500 has been gathering dust as of recently but its been cleaned up and ready to slam a single 15" l7. box is done amps tuned and its loud. it kinda bugs me now that i sold my pair because i should have just redone the box and it would have been louder. but i was able to make money selling them so i figured why not. now ive finally got a system in that makes me happy again.
