2004 Accord sedan

Vehicle: 2004 Honda Accord sedan

Equipment: Pioneer, Audible Physics, Image Dynamics, Dynaudio, Scanspeak, Planet Audio, US Amps, hybrid tube amps. Don't really plan to compete, did that many yrs ago so this is all for myself and enjoyment of toying with a fun hobby!

A few pre install testing pics of mids. Pods are cheap a$$ pods off ebay with some abs plastic so I can swap from a 3" to a 4" for testing easily without any major modifications between sizes. They are fugly but effective for the purpose.

The #Doctor is in full effect.

Thanks guys!

Had fun trying out different equipment but it's the end of that lol.

Clay, I'm looking forward to hearing yours at the GTG Nov 8th. Heard nothing but good things about it!

I'll have a demo ready for ya.........but anything you may have heard was about the old setup.....lol.......this time it's all new!

Wow! The excitement is building.......I thought I had some nice cars to listen to at Finals........I'm looking forward to hearing all of these in November! I'm glad you landed on the equipment that you have confidence in, and you are getting them 'permanently' installed :) I'm really looking forward to seeing / hearing these pillars. I think those XRs are going to sound amazing!

Put me in line for a demo too please!

Thanks guys!

Daniel definitely!

Jason yes finally lol..........

Got the amp rack for all the amps done last week. Unfortunately I ended up having someone else do them, back to work and wasn't sure when I would have time to get the car down to Mark to have him do them.

In the process of getting everything wired up. Still on the fence if I want to bridge a second hvt754 on the Dynaudio 170's or run the axtu600c. Guess I'll make a decision this week............


http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...pszojdvk1d.jpg

Got both the US Amps mounted on the amp rack, might still switch out the 600c for the 754 tho........

Waiting on some wiring and another pair of PA amps to finish.

Had to make some spacers to mount the amps. Cheapest option cost wise I found at the local Home Depot was some copper tubing.

Dang, that copper tubing actually looks REALLY good on there. Nice choice!

Word that's looking good brother. Can't wait to hear it!!! Mark did work some magic on those pods. Nice!!!

Epic build there are few cars and speakers that have had the opportunity to have that many delicious amps connected to them. LOL glad you've found your holy grail!!! You still haven't tried opti's though lol. I really am looking forward to spending some good listening time!

TEH sweetness:clap:

Thanks guys!

The two US Amps are in question atm, might be switching them out for a pair of Arc Audio xxk2500 but we will see lol......
