I understand needing the synergy throughout, but I don't know that the lights on the doors would be terribly effective for their purpose of lighting up the puddles (or anything else, really). As I said, to each his own.

shoot...You might be right on those terminals!!! Thanks. I bought those a while ago. I just wanted the digital voltage meter.

The door lighting was just a show thing. Yeah, some don't like it. It's different though. Thanks again. I'm going to search for the covers.

Not my first rodeo, and glad to help.

If you don't have the covers, you can contact Scosche and get them. Should be the EFX line. And I hear you on the digital meter. Convenient feature. Not 100% accurate, but close enough for the most part.

No worries, mang. It is different, that's not a bad thing. If you dig it, rock it!

Can I ask why you are running this stuff

Audio Control EQS 6 channel equalizer/line driver
Cashe Cloc+d Line output converter/line driver (3)

instead of an all in one, like the bitone or 3sixty.2 or jbl ms8?? Any of those would give you the combined results, with less wiring and better tuning ability.

For one the 3sixty is crap and the jbl ms8 is a pain the a** to tune. The other reason is it is his build and this is the way he wanted his set up, beside the equipment you are talking about is way ov price for what the function of it is.

Pretty much what ^ he said!!! The components we used were what was either there or what they sold. I don't like the JBL....They make good stadium speakers!! My stuff works fine and is low cost as well. The Cashe's are hidden as well, so didn't care what they looked like.

Took it to a Club Lexus mini meet this weekend and this was the first response to opening the trunk and then playing it for a few people!

Congrats on a beautiful setup. 8k? I'm flabbergasted.

I will admit tho, I've never heard a system that cost that much. So i don't know what I'm talking about. If I ever take a road trip up north(which if my gf doesn't stop asking I'm going to have to.), then I would love to hear it.

Yeah....I know! I just wanted to do it right! I didn't go cheap on the rest of my car, so I thought the same for my stereo system. Thanks for the props!

That is as it should be. Why bother to spend $20K outfitting the car and forget about one of the most used pieces of a vehicle?

Having built many that were expensive myself (both for me and for clients), I know that it's money well spent even if it's $8K.

Lol, that's a good first impression! They look like they want to climb in your trunk.
I am excited that my system is being built right now. I can't wait!
