Well, I finally get a chance to talk and share my audio project with my CL family,after a long awaited period and just in time to show it off at HIN-Orlando. In building my set-up, I wanted to include many ideas that I've seen over the years on the forums, but decided to build what was practical for me and allowed my car to stay somewhat functional in the trunk area. Thank's to Adrian(Bluelex), and the installers at Ultimate Audio in Orlando,I was able to enhace my ideas a little further,and achieve the look of the finished product of (phase-I) of my audio project. I wanted to keep my rear strut bar(UGO- carbon fiber) and use the spare tire well area, since my stock spare was no longer equipped to fit my BBK. With utilizing this area,I also wanted to keep my trunk somewhat functional and at the same time incorporating a nice clean system, which flowed with my exterior modifications. I must admit that I am very happy with the way the system turned out and it really exceeded my expectations! Thank's Adrian(Bluelex), and Ultimate Audio! Pardon my dust/dirt, due to me not having time to clean it up, because I wanted to share it with you before it went into the bodyshop for some minor touch up's before HIN-Orlando next weekend!

(Night shots!)











Okay, I'm gonna call it a wrap for now! (Phase II), will consist of added tv's to the trunk lid in a fiber glass finished wrapped in the same Allante' vinyl, with added lighting/gaming system to the interior! Chime in and tell me what you think so far? I love it!

Cost:= Priceless!

 

Nicely Done Wringo......I know you have been waiting patiently to get this done. Well worth the wait bro. Damn that looks good, good luck at HIN and all the shows. Talk with you soon.....

wow very nice bro !! i see you got it done earlier than expected !! i really like the lighted lexus in the trunklid but while they were in there why didnt they install the rest of the equipment ?? will they have to pull it apart again ?? anyways very nice and classy looking not overdone

 

Love the cover option, to be able to cover the exposed sub and amps for normal use than remove them for show is a great combo, very clean D. Don't give me too much credit, it was your idea and draw up I just suggested some minor tweaking and you and the guys at the shop put together a real nice set up from a looks and function aspect....Can't wait to see it next week in person. I love the suede inserts around the amps and subs.....Great job... I actually like the lid like that too. I know you have future plans for the lid so this will be sweet for now. Any night time pics of the whole trunk with the neons on?

 

nice work D

how do you like the headunit , i was thinking of this as well


btw i got your call i will hit you back later this afternoon to talk

 

Wringo,
That looks really clean. I like the way the panels hide the system and allow you to use the trunk untill your readdy to show it.
Off topic, I'm trying to run headrest monitor wires, How did you route your wires from the seat to center console?

 

LOVE the look, extra clean and practical for the use you want. How's the sound?? Any overheating problems with the amps being covered?

 

Simply Amazing

 

Are you coming to HIN-Orlando? I'll be there!

Thank's ,Joe!

Money is alway's an issue ,Shawn! The system can be taken apart no problem for the upgrades coming!

Man, I was hoping you could have hung around a little longer to get a sneek peek up close? I'll see you next week! Those were some quick shots I took ,but I'll try to get some more tonight! Thank's again for everything!

Ed, the head unit is awesome! I was able to pick it up from E-bay brand new for a fraction of the cost! I love it! The navi is sweet!

I believe they ran them through the back of the seats to the center console?

No problems at all! It was designed to perform that way!

 

VERY clean instal Wringo, nice setup

 

As you know the idea of trying the PSP's in the headrest didn't work out for me , due to me not being able to power them up from the head unit!I decided to just do the clean look of two monitors! Thank's for you help as well!
