lol. Yeah, I'm a slow installer too. I don't mind working slow, though. Its better than working fast and doing a shitty job. and since my work STILL turn out shitty, I don't even want to know what it'd look like if I worked quickly!

Congrats on on the toys....this is my daily driver and if you read up I did pre-test and the imaging is controllable and quite enjoyable!. This is not for looks this is for my commute and maybe to compete if I get it up to that level maybe next year doubt this year!

Also, unless this guy is a master installer, it is going to look crappy compared to that nice , new interior. That's my OPINION. And what does the amount of posts have to do with my car audio knowledge? Really, I would like to know the correlation, or the relevence? Anyway, you proved your intelligence with one post.
But I am interested in this thread and will stay tuned cause maybe it will be great and I will learn a little sumptin ,sumptin.

Your resin was made too hot, that is why it shrunk. More hardener is not better...you can tell by the color of the resin in your pics...

Please look into things before you spew about stuff you obviously know nothing about.

about 90% of the best sounding cars in the world have dash mounted speakers.

... really, Is that so? So why are people putting speakers in kicks? Just curious.
Also, it is still probably going to look crappy, unless this guys skills are insane....But I will wait for pics to prove me wrong.


P.S. I bet you're fat. Aren't you?
Now go back to playing Guitar Hero.

Hahaha.

Thanks man. I guess it must sound good or u wouldn't go through all the trouble to fab them in up there. I just hope it looks good cause everyone who gets in your car is gonna say they sound great but will be thinking "wow they look like crap, why did he do that... and I would never do that.."

Either way, I am sure you thought it through and you are braver than me my friend!!

So regardless of my opinions, Good luck and I hope it turns out sweet and you pound **** off into the sunset..... With multiple hot b!tches ...(wouldn't hurt..right?) haha.
Later.

Firstly, I'm actually very skinny, and the "guitar" (which is actually a bass) hero in my avatar is my son.

and yes, it is "SO" I didn't pick the %80 number at random, 8 of the top ten finishers at IASCA world finals had dash mounted speakers.

Not that Iasca is the end all be all of sound quality, but it is one our few forms of measuring success in that department (not to everyone's agreement for sure)

Does it look pretty?...nope, not really...... do most people seeking great sound care about looks as much as you obviously do?...nope, probably not.


you and all your pretty things take care.

The point got across though.

I don’t think mounting mids in your dash is ugly. It can be, but that would depend on the install and the theme of the install. I'm sure "1sweetLincoln" is just pulling peoples chains, as few people are low brow enough to make such comments. Just stirring the pot if you will.

One of my only concerns when doing mids up high is that the driver can see out of the car.
