Well, ive ripped out all me audio equipment and started angin. Really wasnt happy with the sound.

This time i went perhaps a little to far, but hey, i dont really care.

Started by ripping out the Alpine IVA-D310R/RB unit i had and replaced it with another Alpine head (DVA-9965R). That was the easy bit.....

Then went onto the front speakers. Replaced all of the clips in the door (eliminate as much rattle as poss) and took out the JL Audio component speakers and went to me local audi specialist (happens to be a friend) to discus ideas. Eventually went for some DLS Ultimate 3 way fronts and decided to cut the plastic out of the door panel and make a surround and place the mid and tweeter in the pillars.

I have to say that this started to get well out of my ability and i had to rely on assistence from the audio guy at this stage (fibre glassing mounts and stuff). What they did was trully top quality and the sound really rocks. I get no distortion even when the sterio is up full ( not as though i listern to the sterio this lound but the depth is something else.

Anyhow, no good without piccies so.... (Sorry about quality)

Also got 2 5" subs under the glove box that is impossible to photograph

Excellent install in the doors in particular

really pleased with them, look like there meant to be there

Very tidy.

You've done a very good job there.

The doors and pillars look really really good. Looks good quality finish too.

Fancy a sideline doin it on the side

Nice job they have done for you there.

Prefer the more stealth look myself but they do look smart.

Looks good mate

Thought you had green doors for a minute, from the thumbnails :eek: - think it must be your camera phone....

yes the amps are focal, was going to get genesis amps but the noise that the car makes whilst driving means that the extra expense isnt worth it.

Running them passive

Looks good mate

Love the door installs

How much did all that work cost?

How much did all that work cost?

well, beacuse i changed all of the audio setup, and like i said there are 2 5"subs hidden under the glove box, it cost me in the regeon of

just seen the door pods, and that is the same as i am doing to mine lol, only thing is i am trimming in Alcatera, looking pukka mind, did you find you needed any soundproofing on the doors?

again, good job

Blimey - £4.5k? :eek:

again, good job

doors were packed with sound proofing, i also changed all of the door clips to eliminate any vibration.

Very tidy

where are you based in Berkshire? I may be interested to have a quick listen if you wouldn't mind - sorting my ICE out at the moment too

not too sure about the pillars though the grills are bit too ott for my taste.
