Also would like to thank pwnt by pat who is helping me along with this build up and who convinced me to replace my current audio Thanks buddy, my wallet hates you.

So I finally started on the biggest thing…deadening. Along with this stereo install going to change the interior from tan to black. Make a custom headliner, and complete LED interior.

More to come shortly, finally getting the time to put the amps in, the pic of the amps is just a “rough idea” for how it looks etc.

Theres the update as of 8/16/07

MORE PICS ARE POSTED BY PWNT BY PAT

I believe 2/3’s of a roll was used on the floor and 1.5 rolls in the trunk and a good bit of ensolite on the floor= she sounds quiet. Now all I have to do is complete the final pieces like seude headliner and black vinyl pieces. This will be the first ever 100% black on black acura legend I can’t wait.

The roof consists of 2 layers on the roof then sunroof gets installed then a layer over the sunroof then ensolite on the headliner when installed.

Rear deck got 1-1.5 layers of deadner and then factory recovered rear deck installed with JL 3 ways.

sorry if the pics dont work I copied my posts from other forums and posted them here. If anyone is interested pwnt by pat is a member here and he does alot of stereo installs for local and some not so local (made a box tuned for someone in hawaii)

Hope you all enjoyed this and if anyone is local and wants to help out PM me

cool project

[dyingwish]

any plans for an eardrum upgrade? lol-z

[GreekPower]

Cool deal on the modded xbox. I have one in my truck that I use instead of a head unit. I just use the audio outputs to an equalizer and then into my amps. I haven’t quite made it look pretty in it’s current location but it works. I also have the LCD screen for the front to give me song titles and stuff. Next step is to mount my Linksys WRT54G with a modded firmware somewhere in the dash and connect my Xbox to it. Then set the WRT54g as an automatic client and it should give me network access while in hotspots.

cool looks good so far

Well I will still have a headunit for radio ect. But the xbox install is identical to this one just going to make it more sleek.

I purchased this guys xbox and all the wiring ect, So I am going to try wireless controllers instead of long cords. and instead of his infared sensor by the coin tray I’m going to put it in the center console so you cant see it

and if anyone knows about modded xbox’s and putting things on them by all means send me a message cause it confuses me lol.

thanks for all the compliments guys, when its done whoever wants to hear it can.

Well you’re talking to the right person. What program boots up when you turn on the xbox?

[GreekPower]

well i don’t have it yet (will be here thursday) he says its a modified bios and runs xbox media center.

OT was 300 shipped to much for it do you think? comes with cables remotes dc to dc power supply?

[burnyd]

I should of figured Media Center if it was used in a car. There are a few ways you could copy new stuff to it. Are you familiar with computer file systems? Can you FTP?

300 sounds like a good price considering the cables and add-ons.

[GreekPower]

yes he says theres a ftp on it already. he also said i could just burn dvds then let the xbox copy the dvd to the harddrive. but i want a fast way because 250 gigs of stuff takes alot of time

[S10Blazed_Si]

Well if you use the FTP, you will need to hook it to your computer in some way and transfer them over the network. Burning a disk and copying it manually (or playing from the disk) is one way, but as you know, its slow going. Like I mentioned earlier in the post, I plan to use Wi-Fi with mine. I am getting sick of pulling it in and out to copy new stuff to it. Not only will I use it to find hotspots and use random people’s internet, I will be able to copy my own stuff to and from it while its parked in the driveway.

Some more pics, you can see my current stereo installed. but you can see the headliner in and recovered rear deck. 100% black here i come.

Mind you some of these pics are older but they showed the deadening job.
