some pics of my my viberators audio system...my sub is barely legal ;)

[CHADbee]

have really posted any shots of this here...not the best "photography wise" but thats not what this is about.

i have always been a huge car audio guy. it got put the side when i had fast cars cause of the weight...but now that i have a slow car....fuck it.

components and sub are T3 Audio, who are very well known in the SQ/SPL world of car audio....and far superior to the brands you find at best buy and most car audio shops.

T3 Audio components for front and rear doors.

Never would have thought about using pvc pipe. Thats a very nice set up.

MUCH cheaper than aero ports and do the same exact job :goodjob:

Heard it in person and that is some good sounding bass. No rattle and hits clear and loud as crap.

[mr.koupe]

Awesome setup. Makes me miss installing/fabricating automotive electronics. :( damn circuit city.

[Eclipse1999]

Clean Setup, very nice

[mistergou]

looks great!

[Franco Tirador]

that exhaust is sicko

[civic gsr]

nice

[NCPhotog]

where is all your gear gonna go

[lanning]

Damn I can't wait until I have the time and money to have a setup like this.

[CHADbee]

where is all your gear gonna go

rear seats fold down 100% flat and i still got plenty of room :goodjob:

[Bballjamal]

Nice install

[DeeAOne]

no trunk space ftw. nice setup man.

[gerardojdm]

Impressive! I been thinking about buying a ballet ass beat so I can sit at the light next to and box chevy on some 24's n make him look like Shit haha

[DeeAOne]

Impressive! I been thinking about buying a ballet ass beat so I can sit at the light next to and box chevy on some 24's n make him look like Shit hahaits so fun. they look at you all funny. then get pissed off and try to rev up their blown headgasketed 350.

[CHADbee]

i do that ALL the time. ill put in some dark metal with heavy double bass when im next to the guys in their box chevys tweeting out to jezzy lol its funny lol

[tubby]

dident you get that to "haul gear around" ?? imo not worth any of the money you put in to it.

[CHADbee]

dident you get that to "haul gear around" ?? imo not worth any of the money you put in to it.

I did, and I still do...the rear seats fold completely flat. Every shoot I have done in the past 2 months has had my rig, cups, strobe bag, 3 light stands, tripod and camera bag in the back along with the sub box.

Thats the difference between me and most people, I dont give a fuck what you or anybody else thinks about my choice of vehicle. I could have bought a swapped turbo EG hatch for the same price just to blend in with the rest of the ricers around this scene. Instead I have a car that gets 32+MPG, makes 180HP(100hp per liter), 6spd trans, has room for my audio and photo gear, has the same 2ZZ drivetrain Lotus chose to use for their their Elise and it reliable as they come. I bought my car because it was the best choice under 10K for my lifestyle.

Oh and you have no Idea how much money I spent on this audio system....I can promise you its about 1/10th what you think I did :D

[Wildman SS]

lulz haters gonna hate

that install is super clean, I bet it sounds sick as well

[CHADbee]

LOL nah nobody is hating...they dont like my car then they dont like it, no big deal BUT it really was the best option for the life i currently live. when im ready to buy a fast car it will continue to serve as a reliable DD!

thanks, im sure you will hear it one day :D

[Echonova]

Nioce. Unfortunately I only have 1/8 the room you do, and no space for such a set-up. Hell, I had to ditch my spare tire just to get my 12" Alumapro in...

yep! he really is a beast when it comes to this stuff.

[integra938]

Holly shit!

[Bigt8aford]

That's one the best setups I've seen posted here. Definitely some patience and thought was put into this car. But can you post more pictures of the car itself? I thought abut getting one, is it a 6-speed manual?

[drpepper14]

Yeah we used to work together @ Circuit City in the Roadshop, he did the fiberglass/trunk work on my old civic as the start of his custom portfolio....I even helped him build boxes when he first started AMI until I got too busy with other stuff and the shop he was working with shut down. Looks like his work just gets better and better these days

It hit, wasnt insanely loud, but as loud as i wanted it and sounded good doing it. They were sealed too so it wasnt as loud as it could have been. Metered around a 143.x nothing too crazy.

aaaahhhh got yah. this did 144.7 about 5 min after install with the woofer barely moving. my enclosure really is kinda small for a 18"....atleast being ported.
