Recommended Installer

Post by nismo »

Okay. Today, my brother installed Merabow's 2 kicker competitions with a Kenwood 7201 amp(best price we could find at Gibraltor). Anyways, the install went smoothly, not a single problem thank god. As for how the sound quality, it sounds pretty good. He's got a couple of rattles, but that's other than that, sounds great. All he needs now is a new HU and speakers. . Props go to my brother for the clean install. Oood job man InderBy the way, pictures of the final product coming soon

Yeah, it doesn't sound good, it sounds beautiful Connections are still holding out. Thanks alot to the both of you for helping. I'm already gettin compliments. There is only one rattle that I found and that's in the back hatch, if I could figure out how to get hte panel off, my friend will give me some of his extra dynamat...but I cant figure out how to get the panel off

Nope. We do all of our installs out of our backyard. Gotta hate the Michigan weather in the winter. Can't really work on cars unless we get a propane space heater. It gets a little cold in the winter. but we survive. Inder

I worked a couple of the major rattles out finally. After trying to pinpoint them I found one in the left rear door (surpressed by a rag until I can afford dynamat), one coming from the plastic housing around the center brake light (supressed by using a rolled up piece of electrical tape), and there is still one inside the rear bumper that only comes out when the low tones are hit and they roll on for a few seconds...I can't find where that one is coming from, I dunno if it's from getting rear ended or if it is suposed ot be like that. Either way it sounds better now
