hey boys just a bit bored so i thought i would put some pic's up of my install so far and tell me what you think
i still want more but running out of ideas without going 2 crazy so if you have any thoughts let me know

HEAD UNIT:Clarion VRX48VD DVD Player
FRONT SPEAKERS:Rockford 6 1/2" splits
REAR SPEAKERS:Rockford 3 way 6"
CAPACITOR:Rockford 1 Farad Capacitor
AMPLIFIERS:Rockford P3001 Mono Block and a P4004 4 channel amp
SUBWOOFERS:2 Rockford 12" P1's in f/g boxes mounted 2 the sides

and some pic's for ya







i was thinking of upgrading my subs too P2's if i can sell my P1's but other than that i dont know what 2 do

lookin good mate.. You didnt have all that when you and paul came to my work(heartland) that day did ya? .. I am going to put a system in my 7 soon. Dont have anything in it yet ay

Ive got the same headunit as your's in my car, best headunit ive ever bought

yeah i love it cos i got it cheap and it does everything i want
did ya end up selling that motor yet? cos im still looking for one but i was thinking of just getting one in need of a rebuild and just doin it myself
but im finding it hard 2 find a compete motor with everything cos i really dont wanna stuff around looking for parts

Na i still have the motor brother, its 2 cheap for a complete motor. If you want a motor u drop str8 in thats the motor your after. Call me 0415 194 787.

car is at doran pro audio getting amp's and stuff mounted on the rear seat and all getting done right cos cbf doing myself
and i think i might of found me a motor

Take my motor for $1900 its ready to go.

looks sweet.

ideas eh?
well the p2's will need another amp that you have. Double the power.
Your fibreglass pods you have look rather small, but are they the recommended size? If you need bigger, but dont wanna loose boot space, think about removing the back seat and building something in there. Thats a bit of effort tho.

this is where the amps and everything are now

oh, 1 GOOD sub can be better than 2 cheaper subs if you need space.

good job on the custom fit...
i wanted to mount my amp in the same place (behind the passenger seat/ in the boot) for my s3 but it just wouldn't fit, so im going to go with a flase floor.
Was just wondering though, you made mention that you put 6" splits in the front. Did you have to cut into the kick panels to get them in ? I don't know about the S4's but the S3's only have 4"'s in the kicks and the bonnet lever gets in the way of the drivers side one. If you did have to cut in to the kicks what tools did you use ?

i have s5 interior and they have a spot for them on the door
my brother has a s3 and he has 4" in his kick panels and if you spend a little bit more on the good speakers you can make them really loud

you can try and mount them flush and instead of the speaker cover you could get some mesh and cut it 2 size and screw it in over the speaker so it doesn't stick out as much
problem with the s3 there is not much space behind the kick panel so it cant be 2 deep other than that you could always get some pods and mount them on the doors for 6" splits

hey do you reckon you could post up a picture and show us what you mean because I want to do the same thing with my s5

on your s5 there are holes in the doors for 6" splits so you can mount them in the original spots

and i have not done it with the mesh its just an idea for people with 1st gens cos there speakers are in the front kick panels

Sucks that i can only fit 4" in the front. I currently have the splits mounted in the back and would like to put 6" three ways or two ways there and the splits in the front.

thanks anyway

i took my car 2 a sound off 2day and got 2nd place with 135.2DB
time 2 upgrade the subs
