maybe where you work, but around here its the other way around, I will not nor ever have done GETTO work. Many of my repeat customers for over 3 years have come from CC where they seem to love to hack up brand new cars so I can spend all day fixing there "install". but then again different shops, different work. Both companys have there fair share of half a$$ installers I hate bad work just as much as the next guy, have had to let people go because is install quality. So lets not slander, and just give good advice

 

I'd LOVE to work for an install shop. Do you think I could get a job doing something like that with my past work?

 

To be honest, YES you could, keep in mind that there is an awful lot of knowledge and experience with a great installer. An open mind and a Fundamental knowledge of how everything works is key, along with as much studying as you can do, its a rapidly changing job with all of the new cars and electronics that come out every year.

 

i have a Jensen 9312 7" touch screen and two 12" Alpine type E it sounds pretty good. i plan on getting new speakers and a seperate amp to run the speakers when i get some more money for pics of my system check out this thread: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/check-out-my-new-interor-lots-pics-53315/

 

but its not just you, to be honest the people i work with make me a good installer cause we work as a team

I suck at making boxes, but i can dress things up very nicely, and you give me a blow torch, soldering iron, and some wire, and I can do some pretty amazing things

 

i think i like kicker over alot of stuff

 

im working on it... so far all i have is a deck (ravdvd1) and front comp set (fnq 6.5 with fnx silk dome tweeters)

im hoping on getting some subs/sub amp soon... or should i start the doors or do the rear speakers? im so confused

Getting stuff ready for a 'budget' install. I have a lot of loot in my truck and didn't see the need to spend a ton on another system. so...here it is...
-Old Clarion ProAudio DRX8175 I have had in and out of cars.
-Rockford 200ix running 500 mono to sub. from..same as above
-Stinger cap from..same as above.
-ADS PH15 for front stage. $100 from a buddy+ $100 to have a channel fixed.
-Diamond Audio M651 component set $104 ebay.
-Kicker R6 midbass $36 ebay.
-Audio Control DXS $121 new off ebay.
-Boston Acoustic G5 124 $142 ebay.
-100sq/ft Fatmat $130 (I can't stand rattle traps!)
-wiring will be donated from an install friend.
I will be making the fiberglass kicks for the M651's. Build should start in a month or so.

I also have an Audio Control Sysyem 90 Model 11 center channel processor/amp $78 ebay (I like center channels...when done right). I haven't tore the dash off yet to see what is under it.

 

i got the sun and sound package with my g5... it sounds good when its loud... you can feel the bass after about 1/4 the way turned up... i am currently putting in my system... i have a 1200 watt sony xplod amp (the older style) and two 12" audiobahn subs dual voice coil with 400 rms/800 peak. i am trying to get this rockford fosgate amp from a friend. its 1500 watt i haven't seen it yet tho. i haven't decided whether or not to put my speakers in yet or not... i have 6x9 and 6.5 sony xplod speakers

 

sony xplod oy sorry for the price of the sony crap you could get much nicer stuff... seriously the best buy around me has all the RF slashed to way low prices like 89 $ for a set of 6*9s that were normally 170 or so the sony stuff imho will sound worse than you pioneer system, my budget system in my old car sounded much better than my friends system that had sony stuff all around with 6*9s in the back... I had pioneer 6.5s all around

sony makes great tvs, mediocre computers, amazing blu- ray plays ( they should since they created the technology) and some other things... all of which are overpriced..

however being an ion owner I envy you guys, though my stock system sounds worlds better than other stock systems i've had... it's no where near what the 7 speaker cobalt system is... having a sub kinda helps as well as having name brand speakers and stuff lol

 

i got all my sony **** about a year or two ago... i got it because a friend of mine said they rocked... it was when i first got into car audio and car ****... lol i just have them and need to put them into use lol... i'm thinkin i might make a little boom box unit for my dad... he's a truck driver and always complains he wants a radio in his truck that he can take out with him cuz his truck don have one... any ideas how i could get the head unit to turn on when i plug the ground and 12v power cord into a cigarette lighter

 

Tell me what ya think about this setup

http://70.52.146.75/caraudio.html

 

not bad but its far from the ultimate

 

IMHO i wouldn't run a W7 with those amps.....and speaking of amplifiers; i wouldn't consider them "ultimate" as posted before...however; some W3v3's or maybe a W6.....all in all not a BAD setup by any streach of the imagination; but i definately would either upgrade amplifier (slash series) or downgrade on subs.....

 

Jesen VM9311TS in dash dvd
stock mids
stock highs
Hifonics Brutus i2006D super class D amp(2000 watts rms)
2 Kicker L5 12's

 

True, but it's the ultimate for my budget

OK how about this one http://70.52.146.75/caraudio2.html

This is the other option, but much more expensive and more custom work for the extra speakers.

 

this week, i get alpine double din dvd, 850 amp and 2 10" type-r's, any opinions on factory replacments for the other door and deck speaks? i think itll look nice in the dash

 

Wicked install.

I had all old school stuff 2 12" HV Crankenstein Phenoix Gold m50 coustic x over and ther rest was stock. I took it out the box was too heavy and slowed me down.
