This is one of the Philadelphia Eagles players cars.

I'll try to get some more pre-assembly pics up too, but here is the current state of the car. The amp rack is not quite finished yet, and the trunk is missing some grills for the vent, but it's coming together nicely. :)

The equipment is:


Factory Chrysler Nav screen feeding a Rockford 360.2

JL amps: HD600/4 for the front and rear speakers passively crossed over.
(QTY2) HD750/1 for the subwoofers.


JL Subs: (Qty 2) JL 13W6v2 in a custom built plexi box

Focal 165KRX2 6.5" components up front. I'll get some pictures when the front of the car is reassembled.

Focal 165VR's in the rear. Not much to see.

Tuned using XTZ and the Rockford 360.

Copious use of grey suede and red mirrored plexiglass as well as carbon fiber.

Finished amp rack pics to follow...

Hence the borla exhause we installed on it. Sounds much better now!

forgive my ignorance but what is XTZ?
XTZ | Software • Room Analyzer

I'm pretty sure I know whose car it is. Good deal!
Yeah, it's not hidden that well, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.


As to the wheel comments, I'd have done 22" at the most, and probably more like a 20" with some sticky rubber on the back myself, but this is the look he was going for. :)

I dont understand why you have the subs facing the rear of the car in the trunk. Wouldn't you get more bass response if the subs were where the amps are mounted. Seems like SQL, kind of went out the door for more of a fo' sho' vehicle.

Also is that a tweeter on the rear deck mounting in an angle cup pionting at the glass.

Just my opinion, I like the install, but I would have had the subs in a sealed baffle toward the cabin, and the amps facing the truck for that sho' style.

I'm curious to hear the reasoning behind this. Sub positioning seems to be different from vehicle to vehicle. Bass is omni-directional, and being that there is some venting between the trunk and the inside of the car, i'm not sure why you feel the subs would only have good sq if they were facing inside the car. My experience has shown me that more often than not, the opposite is true. Rear facing the sub has a similar effect to placing a home sub in the corner.

The tweeter cup is not facing the glass btw. Also, the rears were knocked down in output quite a bit. From the drivers seat, I couldn't hear them. From the rear seat, i could.
