Default New SQ sound system in my 95 sc400

Okay I have gotten tired of my nakamichi system so I had Bing and Joey from Simplicity in Sound put in an awesome SQ system. You can check it out here.

Damn, that is one clean and subtle set up. I'm happy with the performance of the stock speakers so far but they are 17 years old and if I ever do have any work done it will be in a similar clean fashion. Nice man!

One question, how are you feeling about the set up without rear speakers? I see there's quite a bit of power going to the front speakers that probably makes up for the lacking rear ones.

Awesome built and very stealthy looking system. Bing is the master when it comes to audio system design. I had him built a system for my previous Lexus GS300 a while back, and it sounded really clean.

This is a nice clean build definitely has given me some pointers for when I give up on my Nakamichi stereo.

That is one clean install. I'm more of an audio guy so threads like this gets my attention right away. Keep up the good work

if you are ever free, would love for you take a listen, to either this car, or one of our other cars. i hardly ever build systems with rear speakers for true SQ in my opinion, all the drivers should be infront of you. but yeah. love to stop by and demo such a system to you sometime

cheers

RicoLSX - I couldn't be more happier with the system that is unless you count the lightening of my bank account lol. It was well worth it as I can make more money. The difference is night and day.

16psibrick I may just have to bring my portable table to your place in my truck and work on you guys when I get break in my schedule.

Wow that's a pretty serious chunk of change you put into that audio system right there. I'm going to replace everything very soon. My only concern is my perfect door panels breaking, I would be very saddened if they break something trying to put speakers in. What is the deal with that anyway if professional installers break or crack door panels when installing stuff?

Sweet, thanks for the offer! I still have an engine transplant and body work before I get to quality audio, but I've definitely bookmarked the other build thread for future reference.
