Well I finally finished installing my sounds in my Rx-8 here are some picture's.
This was one of the Hardest cars i installed sounds in everything was a problem but it was well worth it.

 

looks pretty hawt! Congrats on the system.
Did you upgrade the interior speakers as well or just added bass?

The color match isn't the greatest but other then that it looks pretty clean.

 

Were you able to keep the HVAC controls working & the clock & all that other crap?

 

I'm pretty sure he used the corksport kit. so yes HVAC works, and the very right hand stuff on the LCD, but no clock

oh yeah - and nice install man! very clean..

 

install looks great. just gotta paint that panel.

 

The vinyl I used is a silver carbon fiber one the picture's don't do it justice that was the closest i could find to match my dark silver RX-8.
I thought about using a black carbon fiber vinyl but I thought it would be to black and the speaker's would not stand out.

Also you cant see in the picture's but the amp's are seating on plexiglass and it light's up at night when I open the trunk.

And yes I did upgrade the door speakers I have a set of Boston pros's in the door's and a set of pioneer premier 4way 6x9's in the back. I even ran new speaker wire's in the door's ( what a pain in the butt)

Thanks all for the comments

The Corksport double din kit is the hottest kit around for the 8 imo

 

for those of us with climate control, are you able to have ambient temps when the ac is off, or does it just go blank?

 

I'm not sure it works with climate control.. because the box had to be specially designed because our (united states) cars don't have climate control and theirs (japan) do.. you would probably have to call corksport and order a different kit..

and no it doesn't go off it the ac is turned off..

 

ahh ok, just with climate control the ambient temp changes to the climate control temp when turned on and then goes blank when the a/c is turned off
