Showing off my sound
Hey all! Just got done with my sound system installation yesterday & wanted to show it off a bit, and see what you think. The trunk was built with a custom box, then fiberglassed and covered with a carbon fiber vinyl fabric (very cool looking). Sounds nice & clear & incredibly loud when wanted. I still have to clean it up & do a few more things I have in mind, but here is what is in it now:
Volfenhag ZX-4812 12" sub
HiFonics Zeus Zxi 6000 Amp (for speakers)
HiFonics Brutus Bxi 1206D Amp (for sub)
Pioneer TS-6881 6x8's (replacing Mid-bass)
Pioneer TS-6991 6x9's
AudioControl LC6 LOC
Volfenhag 1.2 Farad Cap.
Little bit of blue neon LED's
Optima D35 Yellow Top Battery

Thanks. Yeah, the CF material is nicer than I expected. The deck lid looks very clean, but might do a little something extra on it, to make it stick out a bit more.

Yeah, it actually hits VERY hard. The 4812's are a lot better than the 4712's (ones you see on ebay a lot). On the stock HU I had the volume up to 30 for a second, but to even get it up to 20 I am a bit afraid it will shake the rear view mirror off. That is with the bass remote set about 1/3 the way up. Quite a beast.

Thats the one. Inexpensive, matches my Velocity red pretty well & sounds very good. I would recommend it if you need one. I think it wanted at least 1.5cf of air space.

How hard was it ti put the vinyl on the deck lid. did you have to remove the old carpet first.

Yeah, the old carpet was removed, but once you get the lid off the trunk, it isn't a difficult task really. I have never really liked mounting the subs in the other direction. I prefer to not look at the magnet & the trunk area is so small, it is not like there is an air space benefit by mounting it one way vs. another. The bass doesn't seem as deep the other way when I was playing with it either.

Yeah, the CF is cool. I am going to put some into my interior as well. Probably do the headliner & entire "light gray" area on the top inside of the car. Why it is so different from the rest of the car is beyond me.

Yeah, I was told that it is supposed to make the car look more "roomy". I realize the car is technically 4 door, but I am not sure anyone is really fooled into thinking it is "roomy". Anyway, time to change it to black like the rest of the car. Liking the idea of making a CF black or gray boot as well.
