Not really...But I will help you as much as I can with info & tips I learned doing my setup so it will be a lot easier for you than it was for me!

Great job!

I have the base unit in my HHR and want to upgrade cause it is WEAK, though I will not be doing it myself. But thanks to you and others when I do have someone else do it I will be much more informed and hopefully be better able to know what I want.

 

Words don't really do it justice, I am so very much impressed! Can you ball park the cost if you are so inclined? Man, I would love to hear some TOOL or the new Red Hot Chili Peppers on that setup! My hats off to you Ng, that's total drool material for sure!

 

Here is an approx cost of my setup:

• Head unit was $200 @ Crutchfield (free shipping no taxes)
• 4 channel amp was $300 @ Best Buy (cheaper on ebay)
• Mono amp was $220 with shipping @ ebay (best place to buy amps)
• 10" Infinity Kappa Perfect subs x 2 = $150 @ Crutchfield (on sale, free shipping, no taxes, a steal! kick ass subs, I love em)
• Q-logic Dual 10" sub box $80 @ Best Buy
• RCA's, speaker wires, connectors etc.. was about $200 (don't go cheap on wires, you'll regret it)
• Remote bass knob & Alpine aux cable was about $35 @ Crutchfield
• MDF, 2 sheets was about $45 @ Lowes
• Vinyl @ some chick store my wife goes to was about $50
• Dynomat was about $100?
• Plexiglass was about $50 (stuffs not cheap) @ Lowe's

Labor was done by myself. Keep in mind that if you don't have the tools, table saw, router, jigsaw, dremel, etc... you're going to need to buy it, rent it, or borrow it. Also add cost for glue for the vinyl work and $30 for the neon light @ Pep Boys.

So I probably spent anywhere from $1400-1500 in hardware/parts. I didn't buy it all at once. I've been piece mealing this project for the last couple of months. Watching everybody do mods while I sat back and watched was tough. But I knew in the end it would be worth it.

I'm no master carpenter so the woodwork was somewhat of a challenge for me. Mistakes were made and I learned a lot. A lot of work but I'm really satisfied with the results. I'm guessing a shop would've charged me about $1000 for the install not including parts.

So......how did you get the embossed Infinity logos on everything?

 

Probably foam under the vinyl.

 

Thanks Ng, much appreciated.

I was almost right.

 

I forgot the door speakers !

• Fronts w tweets & passive crossovers - $80 @ ebay
• Rears - $50 @ Best Buy with Reward Zone coupons (Regular $100)

So add about another $130 to the total cost...
