I love my Maxima to death, but I could honestly care less about mods and stuff at this point. The last think I really need is a new expensive hobby....so I wouldn't really go up to check out nice Maximas....

I would, however, show if there was going to be some stereo enthusiasts there and some nice systems to listen to.

Anyone going?




PS...what does a man have to do to get permission to post pics (notlinks) directly in a post? I got some rough in progress install pics, my ECA site isn't letting me upload now.....

 

Several. I don't know if Don is going, but Manny's system is well...what I would call an audiophile's wet dream.

 

You need to have them hosted somewhere. Then type in the following:

Manny as in MannyNJ2k2max ? He said his is in progress. I don't hang here much, but I'm quickly learning that you, metal maxima are apparently somewhere in the realm of installer/dealer/enthusiast/audiophile ? Got a link to your install(s). What do you deal in..

Were you the one that had "*****" where otherwise the ashtray and lighter would be? What year was that in? Was that custom or a trim kit you can buy?

 

I am a chemical engineer by day, car interior hobbyist by night. I would say that I am an audopile, but only to the extent that my budget limits me. I still have alot of exterior work yet to be done, so I am going to focus on the audio this year. I am installing everything at the end of this summer, or as soon as I finish all of this blasted fiberglassing, painting, LED work, etc...

My system is pretty modest and looks like so:

- Alpine 9833 HU
- Arc Audio 4150-XXK amp
- Arc Audio ACS 265 Comps
- Rainbow SL 165 Coaxes
- Adire Koda 10" sub - sealed @ 1.0 cubed
- +300sqft sound deadening from Second Skin Audio
- 7" Microvision Monitor
- Cheapo DVD player
- Siriuis Tuner
- Big 3 Upgrade
- Optima Yellow Top

...I would love to meet with everyone at the meet, but my interior is well... in peices at present. ...at least I don't have to worry about anyone breaking in, it already looks that way!

 

most likely slipped your fingers, but just correcting something. it's [img]url location of the pic[/img]

 

Dammit, that's twice you've got me.

 

just making sure no one pulls a 2damax

 

He is the modern day Jackson Pollock of speaker/power wire.

 

Where you live Metal? I'm in Baltimore, MD...Teacher by schoolyear, car audio addict by summer. If you live nearby, come on over, we'll get that shait in

I love waking up to sweet smell of fiberglass

For me right now....

Seas CA18RNX mids in very very well dampened and sealed doors
Fountek Neo 3 ribbon tweets in kicks...need to finish cosmetically, but otherwise done
IDMAX 12v.3...
ESX ampsone temporary old rodek
Eclipse 8053...

Gotta go, libraries closing and haven't gotten net at home yet peace

 

Styrene is my new 'fix'...so bad, but I love it.

 

pollack as in polish? wtf? im lost, hey clean your tb

 

You mean at Englishtown New Jersey... Street Wars?

I dunno - I might be there, but I doubt it.

 

Of course Ill be there, Im the Permit holder

 

dont know about a wet dream...lol.....mids come in today , should be mounted by meet's time, but I may need some tuning help fellas

 

Jackson Pollock

 

manny cant wait to hear the mids
metal max - come anyway it'll be fun
don will be there, and knowing him his system will be installed

hopefully mine will be done in time:
progress:
eclipse avn 5435 - done
knu 1/0 wiring - done
rainbow slc 165 - installed not powered
arc kar 400.4 - purchased
arc kar 900.1d - purchased
arc kar 12d4 - purchased

soo...basically i have to build a trunk

 

Alrighty, I'm gonna see what I can do. Manny and Pearl's systems sound worth the trip. My install is also a work in progress, but at least at a point where it's playable and sounds good. right when I think I have it tuned, I either end up needing to off my power wire (ending settings on 8053) or decide it can be better.

Pearl that install would have taken me a lot more than a weekend. Great job....

Luckily, I have a nice guy nearby who happens to have an audiophile ear and be a Iasca Pro champ, so once everything else is installed and up to par, I'll just go to him and copy down his settings....

 

is that they guy who paints with that stick o his forehead?

 

yeah some nice things to hear...some high line Rainbow tweets, some Illusions and Morel 8's, heck to hear the Flatlines in Don's car is worth the trip....some products you dont hear/see of everyday

 

Unfortunately Im having issues with the DXE, so dunno what Ill have when I go...

 

no luck troubleshooting?
Anyways I'll be over early tomorrow....

 

Its an internal problem with the DXE, Chad overnighted me a new one. Should be here in the morn.


BUT...now I got a problem with the 8....

 

pm'd ya.....

 

Right back at ya there Sparky

 

Don's system sucks!!!!

IBminesuckstoo

 

Thank you

No wheres the damn PM you keep asking me to answer? Ya know ya gotta press send first right?

 

I sent you one last week after our conversation on the phone.....are you deleting them on purpose????

 

Sent you another PM.......I keep adding stuff to this now, can you just read it so I don't spend more money!!!

 

So if I dont read it, youll spend more?


Hmmm, Ill read it next month k?

 

How much for that AVN again?

 

Can't make it tomorrow.


Broke HU (replacement on the way...2 CD's at once is a bad thing ) so dash is pulled apart and is staying that way for a week, as I'm doing a lot of rewiring/routing/fusing junk back there, I figure I'm going to take the time, get it done, get my new HU, put it in, and have everything good and clean and how I want it.....

I will definately be at the ECA meet the 24th and Metal Max and any other diehard car audio nuts, keep in touch and I may be up for meeting/swinging by sometime if you're not too far away.

 

Yeah, I REALLY want to make it out to a meet sometime soon...as soon as all teh projects are done.
