Pretty simple install......Subaru WRX STI with stock headunit gets a Pioneer P2300 dvd headunit install....customer will be back to add Navigation. Bypassed the video lock-out feature with a relay so customer doesn't have to keep flicking a switch to bypass everytime.       Add Comment It's all in a days work...as they say. Got about 6 hours into these......if I were to do them again, i'd do them differently, but for what they are, I didn't want to spend any more time. They actually sound pretty damned close to what they sounded like in the tuned boxes....which was saweeet!!! Next year I'll have a giant pumpkin to put a subwoofer in and then we'll be golden. For now....that'll do pig....that'll do!                Finally got some time set aside for these....quicker than I thought it was initially going to take to mount the LEDs. Just have to make clearance on the rear chrom shroud then I can seal these up and move on to the next one.......til then!             Put in a big order of decals.....company was moving locations, so it took a bit longer than expected, so they through in some extras! All of those next to our old order makes for a big lot. Who wants one? 2 are already taken....but other than that, they are up for grabs!!  Owner didn't like the look of actually seeing the source of the light in the headlight bucket. Problem......... Answer........remove and replace with LEDs.....DUH! Stock bulb is in there until owner replaces with a smaller, low profile bulb that is clear and not so huge. Light perfectly fills headlight bucket, isn't too bright and is exactly what the owner was wanting. These lights are only on when he pulls the 'light stick' out one click.....and they shut off when the headlights are turned on. His turn signals are the little cones above the headlight bucket...so purely ICE lights.... Looked sick driving away at night. Last pic is with lights on...camera made the others fairly brighter than they actually are. On to the next one!!          Got a decent sized project coming up as soon as I can fit it in. DVD Player (Clarion) Front Components (Hybrid Audio) 3 Channel Amp (Arc Audio) Dual 10" Woofers (Arc Audio) Custom Box to fit under seat Got the box done today, had to bump out the woofers a bit more because Arc increased their tolerances, and added a 1/2" on the mounting depth for the XXD Woofers. NO biggy. Cheers!         Doing some more custom work on a Kappa platform car for a customer with a Saturn Sky. This time we'll be doing LED accents instead of a full on LED conversion. These photos are for the client to help determine what exactly to do for lighting, since the taillight is pretty complex on the inside. Also, to show the nick in one of the lights that came in the box. Little dremel work and these bad boys were apart.                Got everything buttoned up and dropped it off with clients brother. It was good to see it go...but I have a feeling I'll be adding more to this and/or doing something down the road. On to the next one! Pics will be transferred to the Project Page soon. These were the only shots I could grab....I forgot to do a photo shoot.       After doing some work on the custom LED taillights, I was able got the amps wired up and subs mounted. Mounting those beastly subs by myself was a challenge, but I managed to get them secure. Next up was the wiring....twas a challenge as well, but they are all hooked up now. Turned all the settings down and saw what they had un-tuned......wow.....I even had them cutoff at 50 hrz....so it sounded like there was a hole obviously from 51-80ish....but wow....this system is going to pound. Inside of the cabin it sounds pretty tight....so sound deadening and dampining worked great.....as for the outside.....i'm not sure if anything short of welding the trunk shut and putting in about 75 screws to stop the rear bumper from rattling....oh well. I'll look into getting rid of some of the vibrations. Now I just have to make the trim covers and we're set!! Woot   Been trying to knock out a bunch of projects, as well as keep up with the day-to-day jobs that come in. Had a friend of a friend come in with a 2005 GMC Sierra pickup. Wants a DVD player with iPod controls, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, steering wheel controls and DVD Playback bypass. Enter the Clarion VX400 coupled with a Sirius Satellite Radio tuner and a PAC steering wheel control interface. This was a pretty simple install, just alot of wires to be fitted into the dash. After a little weight loss therapy (see last photo below) the DVD Player and all the components fit like a glove!!
