ALPINE Install from Rainbow...

Here is the stereo install I just had done at Rainbow Tint. Super clean and very nicely done. Mega :tup: to BDR LT1. If you want a setup I highly recommend stopping there and checking it out…

such good work everytime

nice set up, really clean
can anything be done to tuck the wires to the subs?

Anything done to the car other than the system?

looks nice.

The subs are Dual Voice Coil (DVC) so the wires are already wrapped to connect the two coils. But, the only exit for them was through the top of the box. Granted you can see them but I think it looks good. Good note though…

Other mods on the car:

  • Auto Dynasty Black Headlights
  • Magnaflow Stainless Exhaust
  • American Racing Black Casino Rims with Red Calipers
  • 5% Tint on the Back Windows and Rear Window
  • Custom made switch panel (Lights up the trunk along with some other things
  • Minor interior work to dress it up (Black “highlights”)

There are a few other things but I drive it, enjoy it, fix it if it breaks, and work on it now and then.

so you were the one requesting type r’s

i’m not huge on systems, but i was always a fan of the type r’s nice choice ! and clean install, again :slight_smile: nice job derrick

I should get no credit for custom jobs … most of the time i just do the wiring and some prep work …

that job goes to mike .

I’m not much for big subs anymore, but that looks like some good work.

actually when you’re standing at the trunk looking in you can’t see the wires for the subs unless you bend down to look into the box.

uber clean!

that looks pretty good :slight_smile:

ultra nice setup man :tup:

Very Clean :tup: Question though, does your trunk rattle and how is the sound? In my old '99 Grand Am when I had 2 12" RF HE2’s facing forward it didnt sound that great, then I turned the subs facing backwards and it got much louder.

The Type R’s sound good :tup: . I wouldn’t be able to tell a difference now compared to before because it is all new stuff. These speakers are definitely better than what I had before. I had two 12s facing the rear which shook the trunk like a bastard. I put in Fat Mat to cure that problem. The new setup doesn’t shake too bad. There is always a little shaking even with the Fat Mat still there. If I put the windows up the Sunroof dances quite a bit though.

The setup I had before was 2 Q-Power 12s in a sealed box around 1 cu-ft per speaker (seperate chambers) at 300W RMS per speaker. Now I have the 2 Type R’s in a shared space sealed box, I’m guessing around the same volume but most likely less like .8 cu-ft, being pushed around 400-500W RMS per speaker. The power has increased and the quality speaker has also increased. I would think a sealed box would be louder facing into the trunk.

Nice install.

I was gonna say…Jay is/was the tint Bitch…Big D does all the wiring

Type-R’s were always my favorite sub…

I used to have 2 15" Type R’s in an 8 cube ported box with two MTX 81000D’s powering that shit…

PURDY!

lookin nice :tup:
