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.
And finally here is my Axiom at the show today along with my bike. This is the first show i have ever planned and organized and i was happy with the turnout of 86 cars and trucks. Thanks for any comments.
