[eli]

i do, wait, i dont have one yet .

[CRXsi887]

nice ride...no im getting ideas! lol im no thieve

[TIM TIM TIM]

crappy pic off my phone but it gives an idea...un finished also.. and dont try to steel it.. you WONT get in

and if u can notice on the very top where the trunk lid opens, thats going to be a big plexy glass mirror with the word MUSTANG etched in it with lights shining threw it to make the writing glow.. all the cut outs in the bottom are the same way, exept there just clear etched plexy wiht the lights.. on the side of the subs where the panel to form it to the side of the trunk is, those are the same way with the plexy and lights

[Kirk]

How it looks right now. I tested the brahma subs I was talking about before, and I honestly dont have enough power for those ATM and they sound SICK... just going to stick with eclipse but getting the titaniums

[TIM TIM TIM]

what size shot of nos is that?

[Bumpin Expo]

NOZZzzzzzZZ

Timothy, is that the system in the new stang or the old? if its the new one how hard was it to put back in? Do the old stand and new one have the same size trunks?

[Kirk]

:lol:

[TIM TIM TIM]

thats the old one.. same exact trunk though.. it will be in as soon as i get my alarm up on it...there not exactly cheep though haha... 2 weeks tops is my guess.. could be longer though :dunno:

the lights arent fully done yet.. there all sunk into the wood to shoot threw the glass but there not wired in with power yet.. if u look u can see a bundle of little wires on teh left of the sub.. theres a bundle on each side haha.. 31 led's back there.. 6 in each big whole (red,green,blue x2) 2 in each little one (x3) (red,green,blue all in 1 bulb) 3 on each side of the trunk lid part, and 3 more shooting down in the middle of the trunk lid thing..then 2 on each piece beside the subs.. i think thats 31 haha somthing like that.. there going to be set up to where i can leave each color on solid, individually, then im getting this custom bored made that will make them change witht eh beet so its constantly changing colors.

[Bumpin Expo]

timothy ur the man. Whered u get all the leds? Your going to have to teach me how to wire those because you need resistors and shit and i dunno. I seen auctions on ebay an dpeople over at the explorer forums getting like 200 leds for like 10 bucks

I seen auctions on ebay an dpeople over at the explorer forums getting like 200 leds for like 10 bucks diff websites.. depending on which type of led lol... i am having sombody help me with it all now, after i learn i will show you if you would like.. supposedly hooking them up to be on solid colors isnt hard at all, its just the bored thing to make them changed back and forth is beeing a bitch

kirk i no its real nos haha i have heard people talk about it... you are going to FLY now!! lol

[Bumpin Expo]

are you turbo? Any engine mods done or just NOZZZZ?

[Bumpin Expo]

I read LED's are so much brighter than neons and use much less power. Tim you gave me some ideas

[TIM TIM TIM]

o its sssuupperr fast.. cmon now you know ALL supras are totally fast dude!!! :lol: jfwy, i think he said before he has the TT (twin turbo) bottom end and stuff... the wing adds a good 10 hp though..

[Kirk]

Originally posted by Afboy143

[TIM TIM TIM]

yeah they are much brighter, and use like 0 power compared to a neon, plus there easier to hide, and look alot cleaner then a big fat ass bulp running around the box or whatever

[Bumpin Expo]

oo mannn ur right. I dont need to go fast, whats the point? Lets speed around town.....take it to the track kids!

[TIM TIM TIM]

correction.... I am the king of slowness, i pwn you all in that catagory

[Kirk]

I would also go with LED's before touching neons..... the only thing about LED's is that they all have to be aligned the same way or else it looks ghetto

[TIM TIM TIM]

yeah, i cant wait to get mine finished.. the wreck was a little hole up though haha.. plus i still need another amp for it to look complete...... btw my system is more about looks then sound if you couldnt tell (type R's blow)

[Bumpin Expo]

so when u buy an led they come with a bulb, resistor and 2 wires correct? Cant you go to radio shack and buy bread board i think they call it and make some shig dig outta it? People at explorer forums were turnin their dome lights into led's. Looks tite as hell

[TIM TIM TIM]

depends how much u want to spend on the leds.. i bought just the bulb.. unless this resistor u talk of is part of them :lol: the guy is making that shit for me... he is also etching all my plexi for me

[Bumpin Expo]

Type R's really did dissapoint me. I used to own them and decided to go E's. Wally, Alain, Sankey all had the cone seperate from the surround. Come to find out it was a common problem wit the R's. Plus i never blew an E before and I put those thru hell and I blew 3 R's

[Kirk]

radio shack has all that shit.. but the LED's at radio shack are expensive. Buy them in bundles from ebay.. just make sure they arent weak dim LED's..

[TIM TIM TIM]

kirk when are u going to have the NOS purging out of the vents on the hood???? U know you want to!

[Bumpin Expo]

So how exactly do I know whats good and whats bad?

[TIM TIM TIM]

i am underpowering mine so i doubt they will be seperating.. i blew all 3 at one point though.. i really want some 10 w3v2's

[TIM TIM TIM]

www.superbrightleds.com umm there are some other sites as well.. ill have to find them again

[TIM TIM TIM]

well if sombody can get passed the alarm and then get threw all the bullshit to steel the stuff. there dam good and deserve it.. but when i find out who it is they will be pulling my shoe out of there ass and a tire iron out of there forehead :D

You do know there's a much easier (and more importantly cheaper) way of getting that effect on the plexi than having it etched, right?

[TIM TIM TIM]

i am 100% sure you are wrong..sorry

An alarm is nothing to an experienced and/or determined theif. Trust me.

[TIM TIM TIM]

well they wont be getting the alarm shut off fast enough for the pager to not page me....

[Bumpin Expo]

lifes a bitch, experiences theives could get in im sure. I know alarms arent 100%. I know experts could jack my shit in a min, but how many expert theives are going to go around and go thru a lot of shit to steal say a 500$ system? Majority of theives are kids/amateurs. Alarms WILL help against that, plus I have some peace of mind at night when I sleep now

There are pictures all over the net... for you its just something else to bitch about. For someone who has a homepage linked on your profile or on the bottom of every post you make with pictures of every damn thing you have done to your car......I don't think you are being too cautious either.

we should just have a post an updated pic of your setup thread, since this is what this thread will turn out to be

and a poll for the original topic of this thread ;)

A common way is to use a transparent clouded decal. You can take basically any design to a graphics shop and they can laser cut the design for you. Slap it on the inside of the plexi and you're done. You can't tell a difference from about 3 ft. away. If you're getting it etched for free though than you're set, that caliper of custom work can get a little costly and obviously takes alot more skill.

[TIM TIM TIM]

yeah it doesnt give the same look though... when lights shine threw the etched plexy glass, all of the glass gets a light tint of whatever color i have on, and where the etching is it glows much much brighter so the picture or writing etched lights up...
the lights arent behind the glass.. there literally shooting threw it, the lights are sunk into the wood and when the glass sits in there they but up to the edges of it

[TBSpyder]

The whole theory is the accessibility for a theif. Think about it. A single thread with detailed pictures and info. of thousands of dollars worth of electronics equipment just sitting in unsuspecting vehicles. It's not too hard for someone to do a little research through a quick post search on a given individual and find out where they hang out, work, etc.. Not to mention I drive around town and recognize cars I've seen on TR all the time, not too hard to put two and two together...especially considering it's a local board. And I'm sure to a theif it would be well worth it to spend a little time researching and tracking someone considering many of you have some pretty valuable things in your cars. That's just the first thing I thought of when I read the title.

I see. Yeah it sounds like using that method, etched glass would be more vivid. What's he use to etch it? Dremel tool?

[TIM TIM TIM]

lazer machine does it.. you load the design you want (scan/digital pic/internet pic) and you size it and all, then the lazer etches it all..the differant depths and stuff give you differant glows, and im actually doing where there are 2 lines everywhere.. 1/32 of an inch apart and it gives it like a sparkly type of look

its an aweful lot of work for somehting the guy is going to pawn, especially whent he pawn guy doesnt know the value

[TIM TIM TIM]

lol he will need a fine set of tools and decent amount of time to get mine out...get there the alarm.. unscrew/unhook my amp, hell have ALOT of fun getting my subs out.. haha im not to worried about it

[dropcivic]

back on topic, i think i got a pretty good one. Just put in my Image Dynamics 4" CTXs and damn, do they sound good. I am ordering some Image Dynamic 5 1/4" CTX for my rear fill and getting some Image Dynamic 5 1/4"CSX5 Chameleon Series compentents for my doors, but i got to build a door pod first. Looking at either a Hifonics amp or an Alpine v12 to run the front speakers and let my rear fill run off the headunit.
here is some pics of the stuff i can find.

4" speakers

Chameleon Seris(so hot)

IDmax subs(really hot)

The back of my box, i will try and get some more pics of the amps and stuff.

[MDIFYTD]

I'm running the chameleons up front. They sound great but they're a little lacking in the midbass. I'm sure that it would help if they weren't IB in my doors though.

[TIM TIM TIM]

mine by far will not be the best sounding im sure.. you guys study it and know everything about the speakers, i know a big but not much compared to u guys

[SSpiro]

Not the best sounding, but damn loud.. Working on highs right now as we speak. ;)

[TIM TIM TIM]

haha mines not loud iether... i guess its decently clean :dunno:
3 type r 10's (which suck)
6 1/2 polk momo door speakers
5x7 polk momo in the back
alpind 9807 head unit
mtx 1501D for the subs
soon to have- mtx 1004 for the highs

Hey man looks very clean so far! Who are you and if your new to the AHQ, welcome! if not well than damn...looks good! How do you like those kickers? I put two in a buddies srt4 and they sound so good for the money

[CantInjaDisNinja]

^^Hey man thanks for the props.Im kinda new to TR, but not new to car audio. The CVR's are hands down best subs for under $100. Im actually gunna start building a ported box tommrow, the sides are gunna be fiberglass so it fits perefectly to the sde of the trunk. Im goin for a suepr clean look.. Gunna shoot for around 30 hz tunning

[Bumpin Expo]

very very nice, i think my next setup I have I wanna run some cvrs but thats not til a lot later. i got one 15 firing up and this weekend im going to build a false floor and redo everything so the sub fires back

[Jordan Y.]

I dare anybody to steal my stuff any time before I wake up today- my audio setup has been sitting under my bed for two months, a cunning anti-theft strategy. My old Pioneer 4400 head unit, an input adapter split into an input for sat radio and one to a 3.5 stereo jack for my laptop, freebie sirius receiver, cdt cl-61a's, avionixx 400.2 amp, and a nifty install kit and some 16 gauge from wally world. I don't drive my car very much so I haven't bothered to install it, but I'm finally going to put it in today. I still need some sort of sub setup, I'll probably make a decision on that in the next few weeks.
