i wasnt trying to insult nobody.i already did what i could do.
heres a link of my what ive done so far in you interested.

http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=37889&hl=

im actually learning a lot from Marquies, and i hope this thread helps others if one day they decide to upgrade their stereo system.

where have i been lots going on here and RJ no where to be found.

anyhow, im back and in the mix. KU, i have removed everything and i already packed the pannels and the screen. I just saw your pics, awesome work man. Really nice pannels, so jealous on your mad skills lol.


I did go to advanced car creations and they were mad expensive. 350 to revinyl 400 for the screen 95 bucks an hour to tune it. I thought to myself. You crazy!!!

The installer, was a nice guy and told me to reprogram the Pac tr7, that is probably the main issue. I was still getting a little bit of distortion on the screen and a little bit of static on the radio. 2 people have told me to get a booster antenna, KU, do you think this will make it better?

In the side pannels, should we put plexy windows and not make them flushed but rather like a box for the amps? I think i will have to paint the screw caps for the box wall being that they will be gray and the wall will be vinyl tan. How do you suggest i attach it if not screwing the wall on to the box?

The screen also on its way.

thanks for your info and help KU,

good looking kid there! Kids are great!

This thread has become quite helpful and i think we really want to keep it that way Znod, i hope you have something positive to share for us. Otherwise enjoy our posts and wait for the pics.


Nelson,

whats going on bro, im done feeling like shit and have to get this stuff done. KU should have my stuff soon, i'm sure he will do a great job.

Can you do me a favor and get me some contacts from DIY for tunning, ACC wants to charge me 90 bucks an hour to tune.

let me know but let them know i dont have the controller almost everything except for time correction will be available on the screen.

What up RJ

I would not plexi for a few reasons. One it is not cheap to get good quality plex. The cheap stuff scratches really bad. Second i feel it will take away from the look that you have developed already. Remember some times less is more.

As far as attaching the panel to the box, you can screw it just get tan color caps or you could just use velcro that works really well. I would really like to cover the factory panels in vinyl too. But those may be a bit bulky to ship or at least finding a box large enough to fit them. I may just send you extra vinyl and walk you through how to do them sin you dont have to cover the whole thing.

My doors are about done I just need to wrap them and then I can start sanding down my kicks. Then the front of the car will be done.

The 3 pannels are relatively small and light weight, i already shipped them out i beleive, well my lady did while i was doing some other stuff. If you can't do them you can ship them back ill pay for the shipping and anything that you may need in terms of costs etc. Let me know and thank you for all your hard work and dedication

No I did not get them from him. I am getting them from my local dealer. They usally take care of me. When it comes to supplies that I need or least in the past they did. I have gotten other sources for thing the past few years. It will not be a problem for me to do your panels. should not take me more than 45 mins to do all of them.
