If you don't mind me asking what was the price on something that sweet ?

Thanks, I believe the L1v2 retail price is $259 I got them at DIYMA for $140 NIB since HAT came with the L1 Pro, and L1 Pro SE (retail price of $550 aprox) and every body want's them the L1v2 are more accessible. And for me "a lucky find"

Hey Derick did you have to do anything special to power the antenna ? On my first Headunit i had no issue, with the JVC the reception was poor, How is your reception ?

P.s I also emailed the guys at Metra earlier as well, they want better pictures of the gap on my Install kit, Maybe i can drive down there and perhaps get one that fits more snuggly. We'll see where this leads.

Did you join IASCA or did you just download it?

_S7V7N_ · 11-11-2010, 12:40 AM

Thanks for the quick Response Derick i appreciate it, Now another question, I'm going to load the songs onto my ipod through itunes and use the Sound Check option to even out the tracks, is this a good idea ? Or should i just throw them on a cd the same way i received them. I know the best thing to do would be to purchase the IASCA Cd, But what would be the next best thing ?

You saw my dash setup. I used the same kit as Derick. I also gave you guys the solution on how to make things more snug.

Your antenna wire should be on the right side a-pillar. It's in a HUGE molex plug that you can eliminate and solder the ends together. I did it with mine to gain the space...for obvious reasons.

_S7V7N_ · 11-11-2010, 10:21 PM

I'm talking about on the wire harness where your connect the radio, And yes you did give us a detailed how to on the glass work on your dash kit, Very complex, if i get moved back down to Tx i will def go that route, but for right now, i lack the tools.

Okay i can't take it no more i'm on my way to walmart to get some connectors , heat shrink , and some electrical tape, ohh and a portable light. This cd player is gonna get close to finished tonite, and the nite is young , only 10:30 and i'm off again tomorrow !!

sqcomp · 11-12-2010, 10:05 AM

^You WILL sand more on the A-pillars...or else!

Speaking of...where are the latest pics of those spheres?

derickveliz2 · 11-15-2010, 02:07 AM

Not a lot of progress this weekend, my sons birthday and many other things going on, but here we are after 4 or 5 sanding sessions...

Also in the background started to fill in the gap between the a-pillar and sphere, got some "thread-serts" too (for the speakers.)

D.

sqcomp · 11-15-2010, 02:36 AM

mmm...

Perhaps I should have bought the thread serts that use the allen wrench to insert them for you...

derickveliz2 · 11-15-2010, 12:31 PM

How do I cover the a-pillar with speaker grill cloth or any other cloth?

do I use spray 77 before all over the a-pillar? or just behind where it bends?

Thanks
D.

sqcomp · 11-16-2010, 02:45 AM

Negative ghost rider...

attach the cloth to the back. What you're doing shouldn't be covered by grill cloth IMHO. It should be painted. I say that we should look at it when we actually get there. In the mean time, how are the spheres looking?

When I ordered my Dash-Mat I asked for an extra yard of the same material, my intension was or is to cover the a-pillars with this fabric to match the Dash-Mat. And have less hard surfaces; this cloth is thick with 1/8" of foam in the back very good material to absorb sound waves like in a studio.

But like you said we'll look at it when once I get there. The sphere are coming along, I'm about to apply a thin layer of primer and get an idea of the surface.

PD... The sphere will be painted! I only want to cover the a-pillars !
