Looks good buddy, tell me you have a beauty plate to cover the speakers. Also Who did that work for you? They did pretty well. PM me with details, interested in cost as well, you dont have to tell me what you paid, just give me a range. Congrats on the set up

gtr0manc3r

yeah that pic was taken before the cover was made for it. I will take a few more pics and post later.

I got the work done by Gran Turismo, they are located in queens, intersection of Alantic Ave and Rockaway Blvd.

All said and done cost about 1700.

sosomaxd

looks nice and i bet it even sounds better. are you satisfied with the sound thus far?

gtr0manc3r

It looks pretty clean with the Beauty Plate

gtr0manc3r

so far so good; its not playing to its full potential, i think i need to tune it and get a sound processor.

djdavebse

that looks awesome whats powering it? and i would love to hear how it sounds im in queens

gtr0manc3r

i got a Kicker SX900.4 powering it. Its a work in progress, still not finished

djdavebse

That's another vid of those guys showing more of the sytem setup's.

If it helps you I built a mean box for 2 12's that port through the armrest and there is not 1 thing that rattles anywhere.And I will put it up against a few other in its class for the win. Your are welcome to check it out anytime. I head to the SI meet on Tuesday nights with other Max's if like to meet there one night to see and feel it?Your rear deck looks good finished.

djdavebse

cool cool what brand you got running for the speaker.

i cant wait to install my interior speakers in the summer i gotta get a decent 4channel amp first.

gtr0manc3r

they are O2 8inch mid-range with the magnet mounted to the front to save from cutting the metal in the rear deck to fit them.

I actually like the Kicker Digital Amps; they help to reduce the ground loops, not completely but a pretty good job.

I want to put a double din in, but i don't want to loose my stealing-wheel controls...

HMAX08

you dont have to lose steering wheel controls, all you need a a pacwx module, I think metra sells one as well. so no need to cry, lol

gtr0manc3r

Yeah I had one before in my altima; I really did not like it; I want it to be hard wired, do you know if they have a hard wired one, or is the version the one where you would need to mount an IR module?

DJWILLIE

great set up!..congrats ....how long did it take for them from start to finish..?

Also can u show a picture of it from the trunk..?

HMAX08

My car is blue, LMAO. But I wouldnt mind my ride looking like that though,

HMAX08

Its hardwired bro, you dont need any ir remote at all

gtr0manc3r

For the rear deck it took about 3 days from start to finish. it looks like the normal trunk, you don't notice anything different, all the panels fit right into place and everything. I did not take any pics of that and its too late for me to do it now... sorry

gtr0manc3r

direct me to the link if you, it looks looks like another weekend project is on its way

gtr0manc3r

So even though it was pretty cold in NY this weekend i still manage to add my bass to the car. The highs were killing me lol. Pics below

Ripped out the seats to get more space to work with and fix up the amps



another view of the same



What it looks like from the cabin when finished.



The trunk view.

DJWILLIE

hey dude do u have video to hear it in action..?

gtr0manc3r

ill try to get one this weekend.

gtr0manc3r

well the 6 CD player in my maxi broke, so imma post something when i finish the install of the new deck =]

juggzernaut

Does anyone know if installing subs and an amp voids the warranty for electrical components in general, or does it just void the audio system components of the warranty?

HMAX08

Here you go bro, you just need to use one for whichever radio you go with. other companies make them as well like metra but i have the pac one for the pioneer units

gtr0manc3r

I suppose that depends on who you deal with, and depending of how much of an *** or friend they want to be?

gtr0manc3r

which one did you get for your pioneer deck and is everything fully functional or are there any features missing?

I bought a Pioneer AVH-p6300BT

thanks again bud.

djdavebse

did you finish the project yet?

i would like the hear some clips

gtr0manc3r

Still not finished with the project, i want to build a custom bandpass box, i doing the research as i type this...lol

I took 2 with my phone on the inside of my car and it sounded all messed up and ish, i have to retake em. As soon as I do i will post...

AUDIOSPA

If you need any help with building a bandpass box just say so. Its pretty easy to design one but from my experience do not use heavy cone woofers. What I mean by this is a woofer that is made with a thick material. This simple rule has helped when designing bandpass enclosures. I got a 2010 MAX and I got 2 woofers in a bandpass through the top 6x9 deck cut outs. So not need to cut armrest hole just need to seal real well.

gtr0manc3r

Hey Dave, give me and idea how to do this. The videos seem to be the same in terms of what the camera pick ups.

gtr0manc3r

Hey bud, if you could help that would be great. I have a rear deck so i cant port through the deck, but i would not mind doing it thru the arm rest. Any diagrams? i want to do it for 2 L7z. Let me know..
Thanks.

gtr0manc3r

Just saw this thread again... I figure I would post the finished trunk... or lack of one ^_^
