Default finally done!

Hello, everyone.
Aftermarket audio system was one of the first things that came to my mind right after picking up my S.
So, here it is.. took 4 days to finish it.

I did most of the installation inside the warehouse where my friend works at.
Here are some shots getting ready to take my car apart..





some pics of my buddy's NSX






Alpine 9857 w/ Modifry DCI


JL components (xr650.csi)






Old sub I had lying around



finished!!


I clearly don't know how to make it look nice and pretty, but I'm satisfied with the results. At least for now

Dan

Yeah, it's Dynamat..
I didn't realize that the speakers don't fit until I bought em..
I didn't have material to custom fabricate a ring...
so.. haha, I know..
Like I said, it's my ghetto setup

Its not there to hold it together though.. I can see the screws you used to screw down the speakers... Is it just to hide the gap then?

You mean the vents above the radio door?
It says passenger airbag. lights up "OFF" when there's a passenger sitting on the seat not heavy enough.

Me too. I wish to upgrade the amps / subs and make it look nicer in the future, though.

I trimmed out the basket(stock bracket) and then used long screws to mount the speakers.
I thought I had to seal them properly for better sound quality.. cuz I thought the inner sheet metal works as some sort of enclosure.
Am I wrong?

I assumed you also dynamatted the doors then. I'm not sure putting a ring around that edge would really help anything but you already did it so it doesn't really matter
