    Kevin from Audio Illusions did it again. After a little tweaking, I can't believe the way this system sounds. Whether it's Black Eyed Pea's, Justin Timberlake, Andrea Bochelli, or the Eagles, it just couldn't be better. For an old ****, I love a pretty wide range of tunes, and my new system makes it all sound like I'm right in the middle one of their live concerts.

    Even though I've heard many of you talk about how the sweet sound of 4.3 litres is enough music for your ears, I still love to mix it up every once in a while and turn up the tunes.

    Thank you Kevin!!! I just love it!!!

    New System:

    Alpine iPod Head Unit
    1000 Watt amplifier
    Focal door speakers
    Focal Tweeters
    3 -10" Sub Woofers in Custom Enclosure (perfect match to my stock interior)
    and a partride in a Pear Tree (-:

    Congrats on your new sound system. I am looking forward to hearing it. Bring it out to Vegas in May for the fun run.
    I think they finally finished my car today. Hopefully it will be trailered up this week. I wish I had time to go down and get it and drive it back.

    I turned the radio on twice in my 430... once to make sure it worked when I took deliver from the dealer and then again when my daughter came for a ride.

    I'm sure your system kicks a$$, but I just never get the urge to listen to anything other than the car itself.

    Having said this, I'd love to see pictures of the installation.

    I'm right in the middle of moving into a new house. I'll definately snap some pictures as soon as I get a minute. I don't think sound clips will do it any justice. If anyone would like to check it out, just let me know and I'd be happy to hook up.

    What a beautiful installation. I cannot wait to hear it. I finally got my car back last week and had it out on Sat. I think I will switch cars with you and try out the stereo. They look a like.

    Very nice. Stitching matches perfectly, as does the color.

    Nice setup, but that's where my golf clubs go!!!
    I just found a golf bag that fits behind my seats in my 430 with the driver seat all the way back,
    and the passenger seat just a couple of inches from fully back. I am jealous, but like the
    tradeoff I made.
    Congrats.

    Very decent install, the amp install could have been done a bit cleaner though, not a fan of the way that was done.

    Out of curiousity, cleaner how? It looks perfect to me, and I'm a real anal bastard.
