Had a return client come in for a full DD Audio system install.  I recently installed a single 12" DD Audio package system into his car, with about 350 watts of power.  It was good enough to get him into the spirit of good sound.  A few months later he's back for more....in a big way.

We kept the 600 watt amp I installed, but we swapped out for (2) two 12" 500 series woofers in a custom made slot ported box.
I replaced the stock speakers (which were factory amplified premium speakers) with DD's CS5.2 and CS6.5 component speakers to provide with crisp, clear sound. Installed the crossovers in the doors and hardwired them back to the new 4 channel DD Audio amplifier.

Originally I installed the 600 watt mono amp on the back seat, but seeing as how the 4 channel amp was the same size, there just wasn't enough room for this to happen.  So, after a few minutes of playing around with location, up under the deck lid was where they both went.
Install was a bit difficult, as in order to get them up there and miss the subwoofer box and the deck lid when it shuts, I had to put them in JUST the right spot.  Now the amps are completely hidden and out of the way, and if the box needs to be removed, you can't even tell the car has an aftermarket system installed......just the way I like it.

Without any sound deadening installed, this system actually sounded amazing....this is DD's entry level system, and I'm more than impressed with it.

Customer will be back for sound deadening and more fire power under the hood (Battery)....but for now, he's one happy customer.

Had a customer bring in a Saturn that already had a nice Alpine Headunit and some aftermarket speakers.....just needed some bump.
Digital Designs 500 package fit them perfectly for what they wanted and their budget.

Digital Designs 500 series 12" woofer placed into a perfectly matched ported enclosure that's finished off with their logo stitched in red, provides just enough bass when it's put on a CM600 amp....this little monoblock pushes plenty of power to this setup and the customer was happy.  Mounted the amp on the back seat and hide the wires the best the car would allow it.

Cheers!

Had a Subaru Forester come in for a quick install with some existing equipment.
More often than not, when customers bring in older equipment, it sometimes doesn't work like when they did when they pulled it out of the last vehicle......case in point with this one.
I looked at the awesome old school Rockford sub and knew it was going to sound good...until I pushed on it and it was hard as a rock.....blown sub.....dangit!!

Oh well.....got the Rockford Fosgate 250 watt mono block amp installed under the driver seat and used my tester 10" ported sub to tune the amp until the customer brought their other sub....which was an MTX Thunder woofer....and that sounded good as well.

All in all it was a good install, customer was happy.....and I got to use my new shop seat....made by my buddy Matt.....pretty cool, and the color matches everything in the shop...obviously!

Till next time!

Had a client come in with a Phoenix Gold Amp and a Alpine Type S Bandpass box he wanted thrown in his Accord.
He's already installed a PAC iPod adapter, so he didn't need a new deck installed.....so I simply installed a new PAC interface behind the stock deck to give me Audio Outs.....put the amp under the driver seat, which is covered nicely by the floor mat, and the sub is easily removable if trunk space is needed.

Thing pounds for a 4 channel amp.......which means the customer will be back to install a good front stage speaker system down the road.

Cheers!

Adding to last years upgrade:

Installed a Mono Block Alpine amplifier to push a JL woofer in a ported box.
Rewired the rear speakers to be on the 4 channel Alpine as well.

Cheers

Had a local SPL'r need a temporary box built for his dual 12" SKAR subwoofers.
He wanted a little bit of color in the box, so we went with some Monster green to set off the ports.

This box will sound good and look good.

Had a good friend of mine come in for some audio upgrades to her Jeep Liberty.
New deck with iPod, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and Auxillary input.
Kenwoods lineup fit her needs perfectly.

For sound, I hooked her up with a 400 watt Digital Designs 2 channel amp pushing two 12" Memphis Street Reference Subwoofers in a slot ported box.
Amp is mounted under the seat so it's hidden and out of the way....and the subwoofer box can be unplugged so the full rear can be used for storage/hauling.

Overall, I'm impressed with the output of the Memphis Street Reference subs and the simplistic design that the DD Audio amps have.

This is the second time I've worked on this Cobalt.
1st time as to fix an amp install gone bad.
Original installed mounted the amp on the side wall, and cut the carpet out....so that's why I had to place the amp there.....when it comes back for the interior swap (going from all tan interior to black) I'll build a custom amp rack holder for it, so it'll look a bit better.

Installed some Memphis Sync 6.5" Component speakers in the door.
Swapped out the old Polk 300 watt amp for a new Arc Audio XDi803 amp.  Pushes the front speakers with 80 watts each as well as gives the Kicker woofer 200 watts.  Customer will either be getting another Kicker sub and bigger box so he can use all the 400 watts on the subwoofer side of the amp or will be getting dual Arc Audio XXD subs.

Either way, with the addition of the front stage and a bigger box from the first time.....this system has come alive.....all we need now is a bit of sound deadener to stop the rattles and we're good.
