years of practice bro.....just have never been able to shake my love for car audio. I will probably have beat until my last days LOL! thanks for the comment bro.

@meade916 12 жыл бұрын

lots of my friends who are known for quality installs talk highly of them so i would probably say yes, even though i have no experience with them.

@Lordblanca 6 жыл бұрын

This is one of the most detailed builds I've seen in a while. Excellent work pure professional-ism. When I'm ready, I will bring my M5 from NYC to you for my install. Believe

i didn't get rid of it, i have covers over them for daily driving. Sorry to disappoint you LOL. Its amazing to me how many people ask where the plexi is when its CLEARLY still there.

@meade916, Steve, I love the way you do exactly what you feel needs to be done. You are no nonsense, no pretentiousness, no excuses, no corner cutting, and no pear pressure. Pretty rare these days. You make a killer sub box, amp rack, kicks, front door panels, triple battery etc etc and you liked the stock rear door panels so you simply installed better speakers and left them alone. No sense doing something just because you can or just because you want to show off. Much respect Steve.

tucked it away under the right side NOS tank. I don't have anywhere to put it and it was an afterthought. The PBR 300x4 is extremely small so it was a great candidate to tuck away :D

I already did "engine and performance" so i guess you can say id "rather" do both. I did the intake, exhaust, coilovers control arms and 100shot of NOS. Ive done almost everything you can do.

I have to admit. This build was much faster than the Tahoe rebuild. Either way you out did yourself once again Steve. Can't wait to see the tune and db test.

Man, i had some doubts about you messing with the lexus at the start and when you were doing the trunk, but damn steve that's probably the cleanest install i've ever seen. Looks great, and i love how the trunk's still reasonably usable. Keep up the good work man.

I can not even begin to express how jealous of you and your job that I am. I love anything that has to do with car audio installs (I buy stuff that I don't need just so I can install it) and all of your stuff is over the top awsome. Some people go the extra mile, you go the extra few miles - uphill. I also love the fact that you care about overall sound quality and balance in what you do, not just huge bass and decibels values, like amateurs. Awesome job! Keep doin' what you're doin'!

not sure. I don't see why not but its something i don't worry about since my bass (in the lex) wont touch the tanks at all. It all goes forward.
