holy crap!
tons of man hour!

 

Looks European and will probably be competing in EMMA (if doing competitions).

This is one of the most insane installs that I've seen in a while-

A little late....http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29731

But still worth the mention again. Those copper bars are probably the most innovative and interesting things I have seen for a while.
Lots of work and amazing fabrication skills indeed.

 

Yeah I read that earlier, it's a much more detailed build thread too. It does look good, but I can't agree with the speaker or HU placement

 

Thanks for posting it in the install section i would have missed it otherwise as its rare i go to the off topic section.

 

silly people, when a sealed 12" in a bare mdf box would sound better.

some people definately have more time and money than sense.

 

When everybody is thinking like you then everybody has the same. And this had nothing to do white mony our time..
I work hard for the euro's....

I think the way you think is not so good..
Have a nice day.

 

That's too cool!

I got DAMN good at bending tubing when working in Nat Gas Storage. All my grounding in the shop/Ham Shaq is done in copper tubing, just never thought about implementing it in automotive work.

One question though, wire mashes and holds, copper bends and keeps bending..... could that cause connection integrity issues over time, but then again... WHO CARES! IT looks too cool not to go back and snug things up every now and then

 

What about drilling and tapping the tubes so that the hold down screw screws into the tube?? That might do it and thos etubes look friggin sick like that!

 

I ran the same copper tubing in my van install but used it for running the power/speaker wire inside it but w/similar angles....I didn't take time to polish it though, being in a work van....

 

All that beautiful work...for some compact anemic 5" Focal subs

 

I love it...but agree 5" subs

 

Nice install sans those ugly arse T Nuts. Just imagine how much cleaner the mounting baffles would have looked with some nice easy threaded inserts...

 

As i wrote on anothe forum, fantastic install !!! Shame though that the CF work is predominantly cosmetic. Still a great install non the less. I actually prefer the custom billet pieces over the CF. - Chris

 

As Chuck says theres been a few cars use them in the past in competition the 2001 IASCA pro street 601+ world champion Yann Canoine from France who brought his car over to the states did ok with 4 of the utopia 5WS in the trunk and 2 in the dash top.

 

Bing,

Wilson (Adcock) is still doing installs In Humble Texas. He and I went to High School together in the 80's. Most of what I know is from watching him work when we were 16 years old. He could do things at that age that most people on this board aren't capable of now nor am I. The "reaper" at the time was one of the most sophisticated installs I had ever seen or heard. Those chrome Rockford amps were something. Man that thing would play loud.

Señor you read, si? 323?

 

Why I said 330 I do not know.

 

I just came.

 

Man!! I'm speechless. I would love to witness your Bimmer. Congrats, job well done.

 

THX DUDE I DO MY BEST

 

anyone who hasnt seen the new updates should deffinatly go look again..

page 10

 

Damn!

Those look like he took some Anthony Gallo home speakers and put them on his pillar.

 

I wasn't sure if I liked the idea at first and after seeing the test fit, I hate it. Horrible idea IMO. Might sound awesome but ugly as hell.

 

Is that subwoofer enclosure firing down into the spare tire well, and then the bass radiates up around the outside?

 

I'TS WORKING THIS WAY..

 

Excellent install! I enjoyed clicking through the pages of that one. I especially liked the copper tubes, cool idea. But he went a bit overboard with the carbon fiber. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber though so maybe that's it. I think the gauges looked hideous along with the ebrake and stuff. It's just too ricey and all the cheap autozone crap has it these days.

I liked the idea of the pods until I saw them in the car. Then they just looked really out of place.

Right on brotha! I HATE cf. HATE it. It's black and gray plaid. It's Gaudi and unsightly. The only reason people started to use it is because it started showing up on show-cars that were posin' off race cars - where it actually has a FUNCTION. To me, it's like the "euro/altezza" lights - it's just an ugly ass trend that people blindly follow instead of actually realizing it looks ****ing stupid.

That being said, there is some simply amazing work in that car. The fan vents are awesome! When I saw him taking apart the controller I thought it was just going to be molded into the armrest like I've seen so many times, but the slide out track was great!

Criticisms, other then cf needlessly everywhere, those pods are pretty yikes - and also they are about 18" from someones face driving. Would hate to tune a center stage in that car. Also, I don't really get the rear. Is that just one huge shared enclosure? I dunno, the whole like half an oil drum cylinder is weird to me.

this looks awesome... err maybe not after seeing where it was installed.

 

Toxis,

I usually don't reply to a lot of threads ........but in your case I will. Anyone with ten replies in this forum in this thread after looking at this work...........well.....your a moron. If you have an install in your vehicle that comes close to what the gentlemen has done I would commend you.............but to make the statement you made is just plain ignorant. I don't know how this vehicle sounds ..................and I have a ton of equipment in my car...........................but the work this guy has achieved in this install is phenomenal. As most of the guys here that are regulars I would believe they would think the same.

dude seriously don't attack the man, After seeing it installed on the last page I tend to agree with him. IF anyone should be attacked you should get some English classes. What is the deal with the mass amounts of ellipses and the excessive amounts of periods cause an ellipses is only 3 periods. Dang that is hard to read. Everyone has a right to their opinion.

 

nice

 

wow nice work very different

 

I agree with the people that don't like the look of the pods on the A pilar, but I can say with out a doubt this is one of the best installs I have seen as of late from a person that does this as a pure hobby. The craftsmen ship that this guy has put in is masterful and has definately given me some great ideas for my project that I'm going to be working on.

 

Still think its a great install! Well done to him.
