Next up we have a more factory stealth look

Basically he wanted to keep the stock head unit and add a little more Bump. We started this last last night and I knew we would never get it done, so this morning I cam and finished it. Today "day 2" was two installs.

So we installed:

Polk DB 6.5's

Boston Acoustic amp

Kenwood KSC-SW10

Amp installed

All and all I was impressed with the quality of sound that the amp and sub were producting as they were getting high level inputs.

Yea this probably would have just fit better in the build-log section:p Good stuff though. Judging by your location I would've thought you were in Jersey, where about in California is this? Looks a bit like San Diego or Covina area to me.

Any why did they all insist upon Polk speakers and BA amps? >.

I was flown here to work on these cars, I live in NJ.

I am staying around Orange County.

As far as polk and BA stuff, some of these build are BUDGET builds they are not all high end 1000 dollar amps and speakers. Polk IMO makes some great bang for the buck upgrade speakers especially from the stock stuff.

JL amp

Pioneer head unit

Polk MM speakers

Metra Axxess
