Default Another ISF Audio build

I actually started on this last summer. I plan to do a few SQ competitions once im all done. Just this week I got my rear door speakers and sub amp installed. At first I only had the front speakers sub installed with one amp to run them all.

So far I have installed:
Morel elate 3 way for front
Morel 12 inch ultimo sc sub
Morel hybrid ovation 2 for rears
Tru Technologies 4 channel amp
Tru Technologies sub amp.
Audison Bit ten audio processor
Vais tech vml

I am almost finished. The only thing I have left is to put somp second skin or dynamat. At first before I started my build I was worried about weight. So far one thing I have noticed is that the added weight has seemed to keep the car from fish tailing and spinning out when I gun it out of first gear.

I went for a stock look. I kept the oem deck and You can only tell I have a after market stereo when the trunk is open. I didnt get the chance to take pics of the doors but I have some trunk pics.

When I bought my car used it had an aftermarket system. They removed it before they listed it for sale. I did get all the stereo parts though. I'm glad they removed it! It wieghed a ton and took up way to much trunk space! I need the room for my golf clubs!

Im sure it sounds good though but I'm getting to old for a loud system. After all, how loud do I need talk radio!

I hear you. When i drive my other car im always listening to xm stations 127-128. nothing but talk. lol. But im also a audiophile. While this sytem can get loud if needed. im going for sound quality. I want to hear everything. My last car stereo was to "beat down the block". This one sounds stock outside of the car.

Yes it is getting heavy. At first I cared about weight, but I also just had to have something better than the ML. Ive also decided that Im going to get one of these to be a pure speed track car.
