I will however take pics of the new install since it will incorporate some custom building. I am going to try my hand at fiber glassing the L3's into the A pillars, modifying the door cards to accept the L8's (still waiting on pictures from Peter, haha!), and some custom brackets to mount the amps. Should be interesting.
But Tim I must applaud you for this effort. Great works.
I used to be an Audiophile my self and setup my own car, but I think that novelty worn out when I own my beast.
Perhaps it's because I just don't have enough spare time like I used to anymore.
The install looks great, and believe or not I just finished reading all 32 pages of this thread. (That's right I just came across this thread just now.)
I love what you did, the final install looks awesome and it definitely pass all my category:
1. Retain most of the trunk space
2. Clean install
3. Stealth look.
4. Last but not the least, good sound
By the way I can't help but wondering what did you did with the fiberglass sub enclosure ?
And if you ever think about switching the speakers you should look into DLS Audio, I think you'll be very please.
For the longest time I have been a big fan of old schoolsl a/d/s (pre 2000) speakers, Morel Audio, and early DynAudio.
But DLS definitely impressed me the first time I heard it (probably about 8 years ago).
Is there anything specific you want to see John? I didn't take very many pics of the actual install, but I can pull some panels apart if you want to see more.....

Thank you J......
I am using the fiberglass enclosure for my subs, they fire down into the enclosure. I have them running reverse polarity because I didn't want to take up any space in the enclosure with the speaker basket. The plastic "///M5" barrier is just that, a barrier directing the sound into the car instead of the trunk. I will take additional pictures tomorrow to show more of how it is set up.
I will be replacing my whole front stage with the Hybrid Audio Technologies L1, L3, L8 set up. herrubermensch go me hooked on the HAT speakers after hearing his car. I WAS happy with my car. (Damn you Peter!) Thank you for the information, I will look into those manufacturers for future upgrades or other installs!
Umnitza now provides a mechanic to install all parts ordered right in the box! It's their new "Total customer service program" that will eliminate all the haters and keep incompetents from breaking **** and blaming the vendor! When you are all set simply call INS and they will pick him up free of charge.
