that was a prime concern for me, and did alot of research into different types before i did it, and the stuff i used was recommended for its color retention

 

never heard of alcantara, i saw a seat that has sat in the office in the upholstery shop for the last 3 years and it seemed to hold up quite well

 

Never heard of it? Don't you post on Carsound? They won't let you in unless you swear it is the only material you will ever use in a high end install.

 

rarely post on carsound, and dont PAY too much attention to it

Looking good Dave. In the last pic where the two panels meet up, is it not all the way down, or is that supposed to have a slight gap there? It's hard to tell from the pics if the other side is like that. Does that affect the sound? I would think you would want as smooth a transition form one panel to the other for the front stage. Anyways, it looks like it is getting ready for some serious listening time!

 

the woofer mounts from the top and there is a slight lip, about 1/4" for the trim of the dash woofer. i think the gaps you see is a shadow, the dash actually meets up flush with the center dash tray or whatever it is. it all works and sounds very good so far. all i have done is basic x-over points and .6ms of delay on the tweeters only
