my little sound system

jtwopark · 04-05-2009, 06:08 PM

I just finished doing my system with the help of F1 Audio & Video in North Hollywood. I enjoyed working on my car and wanted to share some pictures of what I did with the Help of Chan from F1 Audio and Video.

nice work. Is that the JLAudio Stealth Sub? if so, how do you like it? I'm considering picking one up.

jtwopark · 04-06-2009, 11:38 AM

you should definitely pick one up...easy install, excellent fit!...sound is a little bit boomey for my taste but everyone has a different perspective on sound..

i picked it up for $500....so just to let you know...shipping included!

With those kick panel speakers installed what did you do with the door speakers? Looks like a nice setup.

Also do you hit the drivers side one with your foot when trying to use the dead pedal?

jtwopark · 04-09-2009, 01:58 AM

The speakers that I have are a Three way setup. The speakers in the kick panel are only the tweeters and the mids...the 8" mid bass drivers are in the stock woofer location in the doors. I have full access to the dead pedal!...they do not get in the way of my feet and I wear a size 13! sometimes I worry when my girlfriend wears high heels but she has never hit the drivers. Just to make the kick panels a little bit more durable, I put suede on them so I don't get scuff marks on them. They are also black so i don't get any stains as well.

WOW that's a REALLY nice setup!

jtwopark · 04-09-2009, 02:03 AM

thanks alot, F1 audio did a really nice install. the imaging is awesome!!! It was set up just for me and my height!...Mids mids mids.....just sweet to listen to. I never complain when someone is late...i just sit in there and watch a movie or just listen to my music....LOUD!!

1stGenRex · 04-09-2009, 02:04 AM

I might have to ask you where you got this done once my job situation get straightened out

jtwopark · 04-09-2009, 02:11 AM

F1 motorsports.......that is the place to be for the expertise and stock on hand...they have almost everything in stock...unlike some of the other places that I have gone too...the owners are really nice...they don't have a stiff neck!

F1 baby!!

are the two kick panel speaker enclosures custom? or are they available somewhere also? I'm already going to get the Stealth Sub

but would like to find out how to pick up the kick panels also...

jtwopark · 04-09-2009, 10:06 AM

they were custom made...took about 2 days to make them...first day, he made me sit in the front seat and played the speakers at different angles. then when i told him that i liked certain positions, he made the kicks to those specs. after that fiberglass....let the fiberglass dry another layer...couple of more and then suede or vinyl...velvet..whatever you want....

oh, did my friend hook you up with the JL subs?

I'm going to be calling him today, was he the one that made the Kicks? if so do you think he could make a second pair? For that matter they look great, he may want to think of marketing them...

jtwopark · 04-09-2009, 11:09 AM

no he is not the person that did the kicks...F1 audio/video did my kicks....I get all my JL stuff from Ray though

the kicks were not cheap....cost me about 500 bucks! finished though...positioning, fiberglassing, sanding, mdf rings for the speakers, new kick panels from toyota, leather!

East Coast (Boston)..

texicali_xB2 · 04-09-2009, 02:10 PM

500 for just the kicks themselves? no speakers?
thats absolutely insane man

jtwopark · 04-10-2009, 06:17 AM

yup...just the kicks....my speakers alone were a little over $1550!....damn cali tax is almost 10% @ 9.25%...the dynaudio speakers are hard to find dealers for and all the dealers would not discount...but i don't mind, they sound really superb! I am sure and know there are probably better drivers and speakers out there but......I have been a fan of dynaudios for homes for the longest time.....

texicali_xB2 · 04-10-2009, 11:26 AM

hey man, if you have the money, i have no compaints.
badass system
