You see my dad is an "old" car audio fan, as he use to have the biggest carstereo in my town, almost 20 years ago.
He will now "live out his dream", and build somthing nice in my car. Don't have too high expectations about this, but we think it will come out nicely.
I did just heard the the audio gear for 6000$ is on its way biggrin.gif

Well we was thinking about that, but then the box must be made bigger, and we could not find the room for that.
Any one want's to know whats under the plastic?

On norwegian:

Ei jævla pakke med masse godsaker av anlegg og ymse? biggrin.gif Hvorfor har du ikke dette prosjektet oppe på norske fora? (Bilstereoforumet osv) Eller, kanskje du har det da.. smile.gif


On English:
Wow, that must be a great package with a lot of goodies like stereo inside? biggrin.gif
Here we go.





The midbas is missing in the picture, so I have linked a pictue of it here (8")

We did also manage to finish the sub box tonight.

Looks nice bro. How is that brand anyway? Never heard of them and one more thing: What are you gonna do with those little tiny speakers? Do you have the 8 speaker system door panels or something?

oh. my. god.

That looks amazing. It looks like your system is going to be pretty high end. I totally appreciate when people take the time and pay attention to detail to get great quality sound out of a system, not just lots of loud noise and thump. I wish I knew more about audio and could do something like that (but on my poor-ass budget laugh.gif ). That's really exciting though, good for you. Keep showing us pix as you get them! And definitely give us the run-down on the brands of components you're using, and how they're rated. Some of that is probably not available to us in the US but it's great to learn from.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have the 8 speaker set up, but I will make one exactly like that set up.
It will than look original, and I think that is importante.(at least to me)

The Hertz brand is the same that make the Audison.
It's very popular in Europe.

We will do the rear "doors" tomorrow.
Update will follow.

Well we just made a box that could fit in the trunk, so we ended up with 24 liters for each speaker.
Than we did search for a speaker that would fit in this small box.
The Hertz sub we used are buildt for 20-30 liter in a closed box.
See this link.

I have twin subs in the rear (10"). It sounds pretty okay unless you're in the back seat (but why on earth would you want to even BE back there?). For my setup right now, it overpowers the other speakers somewhat. That's why I think this thread is going to be so valuable. It's all about quality, not so much quantity. (although in this case the quality is achieved somewhat through quantity!) tongue.gif
Can't wait to see this come together smile.gif

Good point. I think I'm definitely only going to go with a 10 or 12" for my 4 speakers...

And rizer, you need to clean that interior up a bit biggrin.gif
