My install is finally finished, Also new custom gauge pod
Well it is finished.......for now anyways. I finished my install just in time for our show today. It is all tuned and bumpin hard. I replaced all the door speakers with Rockford Fosgate 6.5" 2 way coaxials along with the factory tweeters for now but i will be upgrading to Fanatic X components soon. I also installed my custom fiberglass sub enclosure and EQ mount box. The sub is a Rockford Fosgate HX2-12 and the EQ is a Pheonix Gold 15X. The amps are a JBL 600.1 for the sub and a JBL 80.4 for the doors. I decided to mount the amps in the hatch cuz i thought it would be cool and i had never seen it done before, now i know why. It turned out to be a pain in my *** in the wiring and the physics of it all. I had to replace the stock door shocks with custom stainless 250lb each industrial ones which in turn needed custm brackets which i machined as well. All of this is wiried with Stinger components and cable and backed up by a Stinger SP1000 power2 battery and 4 gauge battery and ground cables All in all i think it looks trick and the sound quality is awsome. It will also bump with the best of em i would compare it to my X which hit 148.5db. And i can still fold down my seats and haul a lot of stuff. Here are some finished pics of everything please give me some feedback.

I also got my custom gauge pod installed for the show. This is a precurser for the upcomming turbo kit i am planning. I took an autometer 3 gauge screw on piller and cut out the individual pods and grafted them onto my stock A pillar. I did this with fiberglass resin and some body filler, then i bodyworked them smooth and shot them with a texture treatment to give it the look of the stock grained plastic. Next i shot it with custom matched interior color paint and now unless you know i did it you would think it is stock. I used Defi D gauges since they match my stock ones so perfectly and they even light up amber to match my dash. Again please let me know what you think.
