Default Final touches are done... PICS

Okay, after another 2 days spent at Hi Fi Buys (These guys are perfectionists), I've finally got some completed photos to post of my setup.

Here's the door speakers. I've got a 6" and 4" under the factory grille, and I picked up some Electron Blue paint from a paint shop with which which they painted the door handle surrounds and the MB Quart logos (covering the Blose logos).



And here's the amp rack with the 2 JL amps and the 3 crossovers.



And a closeup of the C5 logo they sandblasted onto the plexiglass. They also painted the outer edging with the same electron blue paint.



And the grille bars over the sub. Again, painted electron blue to match the car. They had to do a seam on the sub box due to lack of matching carpet, but once they get another batch in they'll be recarpeting the box.

I would quess, 2 for the 1" and 4", than 1 for the 6" mid basses.

Looks good, I normally don't like painted acent pieces, but this was done very tastefully :cheers:

That's correct. The QSD-210 4"/tweet came with a pair of crossovers, one for each pair of speakers. The QSD-164 mid-bass kit also came with a single crossover for the pair of speakers (both channels use the same crossover)

Yeah, Brian & Andy (the installers) hadn't ever done sandblasting before, so they jumped at the opportunity to do something like this, and I'm really impressed with the way it turned out.

It sounds most excellent. Crisp and clear at all volume levels, especially cranked up while doing 100+ with the top down :cheers:
