Now Now, I am no baller I just want what I want and I dont cut corners especially since I driving a 50k+ car I feel she deserves to have the finer things in life lol! These car elecrtical systems are a joke. I am not suprised that there is noise present. RJ I am really shocked that you are not getting any that 701 is famous for that plus you have 2 systems in one car. Car has lots of potenital to noise so I am going to mod my HU so that I have a digital output to bypass this issue.

I am not having a good day. I have to resuede my headliner I cut my hand and bled on it and did not notice till it was to late.

Damn KU-- im beyond pissed, i almost got in to the fight with the mgr. The set up looks like shit, they decided to rewrap my stuff in carpet, i wanted vinyl, when did they call me to ask me if i wanted carpet? carpet looks cheap. they said they thought it would look better, i didn't give a rats ass what they wanted or thought, i wanted vinyl not cheap ass carpet.

the center console looks like shit, it sounds like shit, and the hub picks up static when playing the radio. im beyond pissed off when i told the mgr how f--- upset i was that i have high end stuff and it looks shitty sounds shitty etc.

Help!!! im going to faint, they said they wont deliver my car until i pay for everything since they have been working on my car for quite sometime already.

if i want vynil i will have to rebuild since they already did it in carpet.

Im dying of fuckin anger............

RJ first things first take a breathe!!!!! Man I am sorry that this has happened. Carpet are you kidding me. This is a BMW not a freakin escort. I dont even have carpet in my 16k xB. I am not sure what is going on with that screen is it at an angle or something. Can you get me a better pic? I can see that I may have to make a trip to Cali. I would love to see how they wired everything up. That is one thing I take great pride and time in doing is wiring. I am meeting with an alpine rep tommorrow I will ask him about the HUB and the noise from the Hub. I bet they have several different grounding points in the car. You dont have to rebuild to change the carpet out. You pull it off sand down the glue and reglue the vinyl on it. It is that simple. I have done that for many peoples installs that had orginally had carpet put want to freshn it up without a total rebuild. What is the name of the shop you went to? Get me some better pics of the consule so that I may see if I can fix it or rebuild you an new one. Look dont go ballistic on them. Just remember that as much as you want to being hateful will not help the matter that will only make them want to screw you over more. Be civil but firm and tell them that they gave you a date and they exceeded that date and also what you asked for was not delivered and some discount needs to happen.

Very disappointing KU-- they have had the car for such a long time, if i was happy with anything, i was somewhat happy with the vinyl setup in the trunk, when i went in and saw it recarpeted i flipped out. I said, "at what f----en point where you going to contact me and let me know you were going to carpet the trunk?" If i remember correctly, I said i wanted Vinyl, didn't I?" He didn't know what to say, i then stated, " you said that the car would be ready today, it is not, it sounds like shit, it looks like shit and the only f-en thing that was coming out nicely was the vinyl in the trunk and you managed to f---- that up as well. You folks deviated from the original design, the subs don't his as hard as i thought it would when using a CD player from the factory stereo it sounds like shit, the radio from the factory sounds like shit, the radio from the hub sounds a lot better but there is static, not engine noise, therefore both radios sound like shit. They don't know how to use the h701 to separate the frequencies. The sad part is, i have seen their work in different installs, i did take the time to look at this stuff, pics and everything and they did a great job, this just looks like shit....


I'm very sad, right now, the manager then got upset and said his guys had been working on the center console for so long, that they needed to get paid i said fix my shit or don't get paid, they said if thats the case then we won't deliver your car. That's when i flipped out and got really pissed off... I just want my car back, now i will have to save more money to have it fixed, im out of money for this install, it sounds like shit, it looks like shit in the front


I'm not happy and it tears my little heart to see the way this was done....

The center console was supposed to be a flush design nice and neat coming directly from the CD player as one piece in to the center console, doesn't look that way does it, the screen was supposed to be angled at a 45% it is not. the fit was supposed to look factory and it doesn't im thinking of just selling my sub box in my trunk to get the money to fix the front then later on when i can ge some money together get the subs again.

im so depressed right now!

There is no whinning noise just static from the hub tuner.
