Default SC430 WIDEBODY PROJECT, audio update with pictures and video! thank you again!

Hey guys,

Again I want to thank all of you for your support. The guys at B's Car Stereo Put together a pretty sick system in just over a week so i could make it to the Cleveland Auto Rama with a stereo in place. Their work is not yet complete, but we had to rush to get it handled before the show. I def hope you all approve. Quick rundown:
Complete CDT Audio system, including CenterStage on the dash and front imaging tweeters across the glass (check the pillars)
3 CDT amps in the trunk
battery relocation from the engine bay to 2 in the trunk (all metered and fused)
custom sub box in the back seat (i joked around and told him to pay it look like a bug from a movie... and he made me pay for my sarcasm)
new Kenwood 9 series Navigation system.

future stuff added later. it will be DONE done in about another week and a half.
Again, Hope you all like. i quickly threw this post together for you all.

My groceries go in the gfs A3 (the Mexican girl in the pics), or in my Hyundai Demo, whatever that may be (I manage a Hyundai store)

and let's be honest, it never fit groceries anyhow....

Ridiculous...the car really is something and if I have any right to make recommendations (after my super moded straight stock haha) they would be the following (and I know your car is a work in progress):

The whole car is amazing flush on the exterior (sans the rear tails that you said you will red tint which is probably what I would do in your shoes as well), but in my opinion t I would do something with the wood perhaps aluminum trim, carbon fiber, something darker to flow better with the cars overall look. Also I love your sound system truly unique but the tweeters in the A pillar just look stuck on perhaps they can be more integrated or molded in?

Those are just my 2 cents but hell I'll trade your SC for mine anyday ...

great minds think alike.
we are painting all the wood the same satin black as the sub box and the stars. we are going to mold the upper tweeters as well. just needed to get it to the show asap. but yes, that will all happen.
thanks
joe
