Test fitting the sub enclosure, sanding, and the amp rack (notice the use of beer ;)):

Here are the RCA's I used for the install. The main run is a stereo pair of Tara Labs Prism 3A's to the RF 3Sixty.2. After the 3Sixty.2 it goes to AudioMagic solid silver RCA's and Y-splitters. :D And here are the SS's installed and the door panels put back on after being modified by...

And here are the gold tipped, insulated, and color-coded female fittings used for the speaker wire to go onto the SS's terminals: And here is the SS being installed onto the door:

And here are the sex pictures of the SS being mated to the pod:

And now onto the door pods. :) The door pods from the factory are ported. We went sealed. The factory door pods are made out of stiff HEAVY plastic, so there was no need to strengthen the back of the door pods. The front of the door pods needed to have 7" adapters made and fiberglassed onto...

First up is a picture of my deadened door in progress: Notice the proliferous use of Second Skin deadener along with the gargantuan opening being filled with Second Skin Luxury Liner before it was to be sealed up. :) Here is the door panel sealed up (AKA: the huge hole taken care of):

Ok...here is a BIG ASS update: There was a LOT more work that went on other than what is pictured. I have to "give a shout out" (yes, I know that's gay) to Jacob, Brandon, and Justin at Sundown Audio. Without them, none of this would have been accomplished. I employed Jacob's OCD skills in...

And here is today's acquisition: Yep, that's right - a 50.4 per pair of Morel MDT12's and a 50.4 per pair of ScanSpeak Revelators. :D Not to mention a pair of 1000D's per pair of new Mag v4's.

So I got pissed today. Thinking of how I'm going to have to re-wire all of the system. If I'm running a wire up to the fronts just for the tweeters, why not add all new wiring? If I'm doing that, why not upgrade the mids? A single 5.25 isn't going to cut it for me. So here's what I'll be...

Well there's not much picture-wise to update except the deadening of the rear seat area. This was the feeble beginning: And the best deadener out there (performance, affordability, it sticks VERY well even without a heat gun): And the result: Besides that, I HATE Lexus and their...

This is an old update, but anyway: I spent all day getting the 3sixty.2 installed. Man it was a LOT of work! I had to tap into a lot of factory wires while leaving the wiring in tact. I also wired up the engine bay and spent a lot of time trying to figure out why in the hell my balance...

So I made a plate out of steel and attached it. Yes I'm going to primer it so it doesn't rust, so don't ask. Anyway, here are the pics:

And then I hopped into the trunk area and started taking out crap (like the POS factory amplifier and half of the CD changer mount, which the other half is the factory amp bracket). And of course, I deadened the CD changer mounting location. :) I made a bracket out of 1/4" plywood in an...

Oh, and here's another update: Updates: First off, I got the battery installed. The connections were on the opposite side of what I needed so I purchased some aluminum (do NOT buy steel for something like this - it will rust) from a local hardware store and cut them to length. The finished...

Oh, I was messing around with my company's prototype BM ultra-shallow 12" subwoofer and came up with the following mounting location: Not too bad for a totally hidden location. :) It would mount via a fiberglass enclosure behind the factory cover panel so everything would look stock when...

And yesterday I ran two 4 awg runs of power wire for the install. The wire is run along the drivers side of the vehicle, behind the rear seats, up and under the rear package tray, and then finally inside the trunk via the now deadened open hole where the left rear speaker was. Here are a few...

And here's what they look like after they are wrapped in black grille cloth and installed on top of the ported mids: While I was at it, I tore apart and re-wrapped the rear speaker grilles. I also removed the two rear speakers and left the sub for now...until I install the pair of Mag's.

Here are pics of the tweeter grilles hogged out - one being covered in grille cloth already: And today was the mid grille work. Man, this took a LOT longer than I thought. There was a LOT of cutting, more cutting, and more cutting. I basically had to hog out the entire grille. BTW: from...

Here's the top door panel portion without the grille: And with the grille: And a picture of the Audax installed: The factory grille won't fit so I'm going to have to modify it in order to get them back in place. For now they'll go as they are - without a grille. I only have FM, so I'm...

I made baffles out of 3/4" plywood to adapt over my 5.25" Audax Aerogel's. While making the baffle I had to recess the screws that were going to hold the baffle to the existing enclosure. I also had to flatten the baffle and the 5.25" mid in order for the door pannel to go back on. And...
