Little update on my phase 1 of audio install

Phase 1 - Interior Audio
This phase will cover all my ICE for the cabin. Later, when I have more time I will complete my custom trunk setup.

Alpine W505 7" Screen
Alpine Headrest Monitors w/ wireless headphones
Rainbow Vanadium Cross Line Kick 3-way (Front)
Rainbow Vanadium Cross Line 2-way (Rear)
Rainbow Vanadium Cross Line 2-way (Center)
Elemental Designs nINE.5 Amp

Car has been at the shop for about 3 weeks now. Hopefully 1 more week and it will head over to the interior shop. Car is super dirty right now. If something doesnt look like it fits, its because this is just a mock up. Nothing has been permentaly installed as of yet.

Just a lil teaser -crappy phone pics

yep, I have that, my rainbow subwoofers, and new rainbow amps on order. The amp im using now is just temporary. I plan to have a complete Alpine/Rainbow setup. The center channel will be installed in the dash along with another center channel being installed in the trunk. I want surround sound both inside and out [ill need the outside for ;-) ] I do not have enough time right now to install he processor and center channels along with trunk. Probably wont get started on until after HIN Dallas in Oct.

ya this place is probably IMO the best stereo shop in Houston. They cater to all the high end cars. Lately my car has been next to a Ferrari 360, Maserati Quattroporte, and MB S550. They have done celebs cars like Yao Ming and Steve Francis. Im very happy with the work so far, and there is still so much more to do.
