i approve of mounting the speakers to the door metal and affixing a "beauty panel" to the door panel to avoid tactile information from transferring to the door panel as much as possible. and the round over with the mesh came out very nice.
the 6to8 looks nice, how is the volume controlled with optical input on the mosconi piece if i used something like an alpine DVA-9861 that does not have a level control for the optical output - because on the H701, the processor uses AInet to adjust volume.

thanks for posting bing, super clean as always!
this is a feature i will go over briefly on the review, but it is really cool.
as you know the 6to8 has an upfront controller available, so just like the audison bitone, you can use the master volume on there to control volume.
BUT, they have a new feature where you can input signal into the unit via the optical input, then, use the analog output from the headunit, either rca or just speaker level, and plug it into the analog input of the 6to8, and basically, the Mosconi piece will simply track that to use as a volume control, while any and all signal is still being done through the optica.
this allows you to use the existing volume knob, such as on your HU or on a stock HU with mobridge or example, without affecting the overall sound at all
Thanks Bing. Looks like their website is down though.

works now for me but you need to be a dealer of AAMP to get them, they no longer sell direct to general public.
Mcmaster-carr though, does, and the heavier steel mesh i use on the top floor panel for example, i get through them. just have to be paitient to find the ones you want through all the options.
very nice, awesome install.! about the Mosconi company, i've never really heard of them... any background info.?
the brand is under the Audio Systems umbrella in Europe, named after the engineer who designed the amps, and was born from the ashes of Steg in a sense.
Great looking install once again Bing. I think that is one of the nicest looking Panny installs I've seen (usually it looks kind of weird...out of place).
My nemesis (Audio Designs - 'Condescending in San Jose') was really pushing the US Amps hybrid amp - sounded fantastic in his shop.
The Arc drivers look fantastic, and I appreciate the real world shots of the 6to8 - I really look forward to your review
it certainly is a very neat HU...cosmetically i prefer it over the somewhat similar themed macintosh units...not to mention you can actually fast forward a track on the cd lol
This is a post that showcases your talents. Of course you know how to work with all the necessary media to achieve a great install, but I do not think that is what separates you from the rest of competent installers. Here is my take..
What you get right are SHAPES and AESTHETICS. Your intalls blend and mesh with the right lines. I see other installs where something a s simple as a round over on a piece of MDF would make all the difference in their fiberglass mold end result, instead you get a sharp edge that clearly defines and reveals how it was constructed.
Your experience and creativity leave NO room for these mistakes in your installs and that is what impresses me!
thanks but you are way too kind, i am kinda boring when it comes to shapes and stuff, i just like to build tings that i think is pleasing to the eye, so very simple...not something you are gonna say wow too, but something hopefully you wont say "well that looks bad" either
firewall: spade connectors i get from my distributor, in my case AAMP.
