    Lukas, that dashboard/speaker combo is part of StereoInstaller1 (Luke's) car. It's the beginnings of a full sound stage in his E30. He gave several of us a demonstration inside the car, and I can say with NO bullshit that it is THE most incredible sound system I have ever heard in a car. It is incredible.

      Thanks, Josh!

      Lukas, funny that you are the only one to even mention my car's looks...then you ask about the stereo.

      The DB tuck was too much in my opinion, but it is bolted in place, as is the spoiler. Ain't going anywhere, ever.

      As far as the speaker setup, I am sure it makes sense to everyone that speakers sound best when facing you. In much the same vein, speakers also sound best when in a cabinet. That chunk of sewer pipe is basically a method of providing a cabinet for the speaker (it does not care that it is ABS) and to position it so it is facing me. You can just barely see the tweeter is on top of the dash, also in a tiny little panel to make it look decent.

      I finished the sound at about 2:30AM the day before I was supposed to go to the Picnic, so nothing got pretty, nothing got perfection tuning...basically, nothing got finished...but I had tunes.

      I will be doing a full write-up on what I am doing when it is done. I can tell you this: I have never heard any car system with anywhere near the staging, clarity (especially in the midbass!) or detail this has. I am not trying to be big-headed, but damn, this thing sounds good!

      In the wifes car, I am going to use fiberglass to mold boxes into the glovebox and underdash panel, to mount a 5" speaker in much the same way. Currently, I am planning on using stock E30 speakers in a wild install. We will see how it comes out!

      Thanks again for the props!
      Luke

      Closing SOON!

          +1 Luke gave me and my bud a demonstration, I was blown out of the water. It rattled our brains. :)

              That's the one I'm talking about, not the guy standing up and pointing. While I do agree with James that fingering my wheel gap is minor, I've had people open doors and take a seat before as well... this is just an example I happen to come across in pictures ;)

                  have you looked through all the photos in these pages? ;)

                  I've got a few of the car, and I'm sure others do too.

                        Justin and I got nailed while driving our way back down into California... I think we took out the whole swarm!! Corning and Williams were really bad areas; I could barely see out the window. It literally sounded like light rain. The rest of the trip was pretty clear of splats. Just thought I would share these mmmtasty road-trip aftershots, tee hee.





                        you like my racing "flames"? super smurfy speedlines!

                          Damn aren't you glad you put some tape on...shit! Love the pictures but I think I've seen every car that was there 4 times now. Still awesome.

                          Reminds me when I was driving back from Hell (Massachusetts) and I was near the power plant at exit 12 on the Jersey turnpike, it started raining green! When I pulled at a reststop, I found out it was just BUGS. Nasty shit.

                            That's a butt load of bug guts. Was that the reason for the custom paitners tape paint job?

                              yup, pretty much. general road-trip protection really.
