That is gorgeous, Bruce! Sure hope I can hear this someday!

Love clean installs. Congrats.

Very nice install, I'm upset I didn't take time to listen to it over the weekend. So what does that Phoenix Gold thingamajig do?

I like the snakeskin looking techflex.

I may or may not get freaked out seeing that in the car. :lol:

Thank you. The Phoenix Gold thingamajig turns everything on and off at the appropriate times.

Very impressive , trophies may be forthcoming.

I know better than that. Yours is always awesome.

I actually added another show the day before your show. It's only an hour and a half away so I figure why not. Now add in three more trips to Audio X (500 miles each way) for tuning and my year should be complete. :D

I would love some details on how you mounted the mid bass in the doors.

They are mounted to a HDPE ring approximately 1" thick. I would say that less than 2 square inches of metal were cut behind the speaker to allow it to fit. They were installed by Steve Cook at Audio X but I think it was pretty straight forward. These pictures show the Morel Elate Ti9's that I had. I have since replaced them with Supremo SW9's.

Thank you very much. That doesn't look to bad at all. I think I will try the 8's if I can now decide how I want to do the grill. I like yours a lot.

Here's a link to the PASMAG article featuring my vehicle.

https://pasmag.com/features/vehicle-...toyota-4runner

Just in case anyone is interested, this vehicle is now for sale for $21,000 as it sat at finals last year. It has just a little over 144,000 miles on it. KBB private party value is $15,000, NADA shows retail at $19,525. Like one person on fb said, buy the stereo, get a free 4Runner. :D

So much for the "UTILITY" portion of it...lol Groceries in the backseat only...lol Looks great.

I see these shows listed, is that some "circuit" for SQ competitions? Also, do these shows come to the Tidewater/ Va. Beach area?

You can check out the MECA and IASCA websites for show schedules. Those are the most active orgs in the US.

I'm doing a basic install on my daughter's 2001 4runner, not to your extent, but the rear utility portion will be reduced due to having a 2.5 ft3 box back there. I made it contour with the back seat to be able to go back as far as it can and still keep some space.
