I was up at the shop with the installers working until 6am saturday morning to get the car ready for the weekend. Still wasn't finished, but at least I was able to drive the car down to Austin for the weekend which I needed to do.
Didn't have the DSP or Line Driver connected, and only had the 3-way esotar fronts connected (rears and subs weren't) but man it sounded incredible. Running straight off of the headunit to the amp to the speakers and it sounded amazing, and the more I turned it up, the better it sounded, the vocals were absolutely perfect, sounded like the people were right there in the car, and the bass was insanely accurate and punchy/tight.
I can't even imagine how this is going to sound once everything is hooked up and running correctly, I am not going to want to leave my car!
I will be picking it back up on Wednesday around noon, let me look to see if I have any pictures of the progress that was made!

Hahaha you did indeed! It honestly has exceeded my expectations already! I can't even imagine how it's going to sound all set up correctly!
I know! I am already wishing I could adjust the crossover points and play with them a bit haha!
Pics coming up right now! I Remember - Deadmau5, was life changing on these speakers, literally the vocals sounded like she was in the car and the synths were just spot on it, it was truly incredible, even my girlfriend was freaking out about it haha

Update - The fuses and ground wires for the amps are installed. 4 gauge going to each amp, and 0 gauge coming from the power supply
Zapco DSP6 mounted where the factory navigation sits in the rear. Nice little show piece to display the DSP6.
Custom making the amp rack where the spare tire used to be
Few amp **** pics of the Stage III upgraded amps. Sexy internals! Don't worry the stickers will be removed upon final installation!
The three amps being test fit as to how they will sit in the final display in the car
The Zapco DSP6 mounted up in the trunk area, subtle but still noticeable!
Getting really close now, just got to finish tying up the loose ends and then its on to tuning! I literally cannot wait much longer haha

Awesome, what products do you sponsor out?
Haha that's what my friend keeps telling me, I am personally interested in checking it out as I really like the DRC, and would love to be able to control the volume with that knob (I hate having to press up/down buttons for volume control)

Let me know what you think. The vocals are awesome, but eerie at the same time, and has the old school trance synth action in the background. Love it!
