Very sweet install in a 350z.

One of the more clean installs I've seen.

That IS a pretty sweet setup. There's something about vinyl that just makes everything look perfect and clean...makes me want to finish my setup even sooner!

I have lots of respect for installers that can do that type of clean work. Georgeous.

Car Audio is an art form! I hope one day I have a new car and the loot to just send it away and have it done by a pro fabricator....as much as I love DIY

Too bad it's a bunch of JL gear ... but a nice install nonetheless.

Ouch, I did not even think of that, but you are 100% correct!

Looks superb, nonetheless...

Definitely looks like top notch install quality. Always fun looking at other's ideas when the installs are that nice.

I think you're gonna have to get the amp rack off in order to get at those amps....I'm sure he's got a killer security system too (hope so)

If that stuff is "gotten", my guess it would be by pros that would take the car and get the equiptment out....But yesh, that install will attract some attention

well he looks like a middle Aged white dude who lives in ATL. I dont know how high teft is there, but looking at his car and install, it seems like he has some money and lives in a nice suburban neighborhood, where everyone knows everyone...
unlike mine where my fawkin neighbors would probably steal my rims

I agree 110%, I just didnt wanna say it and offend all the guys here on the "JL is the greatest" bandwagon.

Don't browse my webpage then I'm not rich, I just like the product line very much and have been very pleased with owning their equipment for over 12 years.

I viewed before and after your edit..the 2nd sentence. And that is just the point I was going to make. I see stuff like below at car shows, from people who know less than 2 da max, but act like theyre god, and that just pisses me off, which is when I enjoy taking Ascendant Audio, Adire, RE, SS, or any other great small brand, and waxing a dub6 or dub7. GOD I cant wait to get my Ava 15 and SX1250.1 in to do just that.

Bascially, my preference in audio equipment is based on my previous history with that brand. Pretty much goes with anything that you purchase. I can't speak for everyone, but I find that I'm quite brand loyal. I will be the first to acknowledge quality merchandise and workmanship no matter what topic you are dicussing. I have never "shown" my car for the audio equipment, nor been involved in any sound competions, and even after I do my new install, I dobut that will change. Kudos to anyone who does good install jobs, and my point of this thread, was taking my hat off to the installer of the equipment in the 350z. That's really what it comes down to for me anyways.

+1, theres nothing wrong with going a little off topic lol.

And its not like your new to car audio, youve been around enough to choose what you like, and as long as you are happy in the end, thats what matters. If Avi was giving JL props on the other hand...you get the idea.

It's all gravy. If we all had the same tastes, it'd get really boring looking at the same stuff in everyone's cars

Tim, your OK though. You bought it because YOU like the product. Not because every teen around you said it was great or the a magazine had a rapper with it in his car. You bought it for You and thats fine all day long.

ALTHOUGH....12 years? time to try suttin new

Haha, yeah. Those 8's of mine have been around for a looong time. I just bought a 12w6v2. Now I'm going to have to find a new sub amp, because I don't think my MTX 2160 is going to hack it.

I think putting the 8's in the doors may create some clearance issues with my windows, but who needs em right?

Better yet, make her install them. Then she can appreciate the door each time she opens it.
