Had a customer that needed a deck installed, as well as the steering wheel controls integrated into the new unit. Simple little install...did it on-site at the customer house. Cheers     Add Comment Did an Audi LED retro on a Corolla S today. After bumper removal, install went smoothly. Customer wanted these lights to be on whenever the car is on...so a circuit was found inside the vehicle. Looks good and customer loved it         Had a client come in that was concerned about his stock sound system (amplified Focal speakers....if you call that stock)(owner didn't know that Focals were installed). He's a true audiophile at heart....so Hybrid Audio Technologies is the first speaker that popped into my head. Wasn't sure about what model to go with, since it's a convertible; but the owner didn't want to install a subwoofer, so Clarus was the choice; they have a lower range of frequencies that they can play...so we squeezed the more amount of mid-bass out of them as we could. Owner had pre-selected an amazing deck, the Alpine CDA-117....truely an audiophiles headunit of choice.....more audio tweaking options that most need.....just enough for this project. The doors got a 3 layer sound deadening system (inner door skin, middle door skin, and inside door panel) to help the mid bass out as well as block some road noise. All of this was pushed by the Arc Audio KS Mini, 2 channel amp....perfect size to fit under the seat where most other amps wouldn't dream of fitting.             Well, it only took us 2 months, but I've finally brought on what I think is the top company for all my mobile video products (minus in-dash DVD and Navigation options). This company only deals with dealerships directly, so this is what would have came in your car, had you had the option...basically. Had a close friend's family bring me their 2010 Toyota Sequoia wanting some headrest DVD players. Got her my 7" Dual Headrest DVD Player options. Dual 7" Screens in factory matching leather Dual DVD players Dual Headphones Dual Everything All this hides away like it was stock, and work perfectly. Hit me up if you want to know more about this awesome brand and what they will look like in your ride!           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.       So the surprise for Steven was the rims.....they were old and busted....so we made them new hotness. Stripped them down to nothing...sanded them, then primer/single stage/hand painted logo and pin striped them. Turned out good for a 4 hour paint session. Everyone at the shop was helping on this one.....even the lady got in on the action with mixing the paint that we all hand-painted. Overall, I think it completes the car.....even got a compliment on the car today as it was sitting outside. After that, I got all the LEDs wired up in the trunk. I also took the rear bumper off and attempted to sound deaden that....it's much better now that before...but since it was broken in one spot.....that tends to chatter a bit.....I'm still not done with that, but more later. Other than a few odds and ends, Memphry is another one for the books.....donezo!!!! I love driving this thing, as the sound is perfect....crisp highs and rediculous lows.....makes me wish I had a trunk!                           Vinyl came in...so i put those on. I'm diggin' the gold and black theme. This is all I've got.....suprise a'comin' tomorrow. Cheers          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   Got all the lights bolted on and aligned....looks much better with everything smoked and black....next? Got a suprise next week. The projector lights are a HUGE improvement over the stock faded/fluted headlights.....cutoff/alignment photos were as soon as I turned them on...not even aligned yet...so that turned out good.......now you can see everything...much better! Cheers               So the only problem with this build got bigger. Memphis has be on backorder for their MOJO amps...the 2500 beast I ordered over 2 months ago. Waiting and waiting on it, but still no luck. Got a call this morning that they are pushing the amps back ANOTHER month...so that sucks worse!!! So I said "screw it...not waiting" Ordered two 1100 watt mono amps, and we'll be strapping those together to get our 2200 watts we need. The biggest factor here is that we have subs for this system that were paired/ordered to work with said MOJO amp...well the two seperate amps won't work with those...so I needed to order new subs as well......oh well, now we'll have bumps by the weekend!! Stoked about that. Painter got to the lights.....Did an amazing job...as always....so here are the rest of the exterior lights...ready to go on tonight...or tomorrow!
