I just got home from the shop and the new install will showcase Focal. I am returning the DEQ30, upgrading the CD8445 to the 8455, upgrading the K2Powers for some K3P's, placing the midbass' in the kicks, and placing the crossovers in the floorboard with plex over them to show them off. The trunk is secret...they aren't telling me much. There are only three guys in the OKC area that I trust with my car, and two of them are at my shop. Another is Chris Kill at Advantage audio in Norman, and in Bixby, good ol' Mr. Biggs.

Well if it is any consolulation, I respect the heck out of what you are doing. Thank you. Car Toys will be there when you get home, and heck, come down to OKC and I might even throw you a party.

Yeah that install is one of my all time favorites, and by far the best Rob had in his accord. I like Garys work too, and the car sounded great with his alpine kicker set up, it was just way to flashy for my taste.

I remember Don's porcha a little, but the one I remember the most was his Mobile ES XES install in the BMW. At the time I was doing my S10 in all mobile ES, so that one stuck out to me.

Next time you talk to Don tell him I said Hay. Heck I spent a few hours up there last time I was home bull shitting with him. He is all into mazda miata racing now. Heck I think he has like four of them.

You know I almost went to work for them too. I had tried and tried for years to get a job as an installer. I was even offered a job at numerous other stores as an installer, and turned them down. I figured if I was going to do it, I would do it right, or not at all. Not to mention all the stores seemed to follow the Best Buy frame of mind (the sooner you get it done the better).
Then finally it happened. I went in one day, and Jeff offered me a job as a salesman. To bad I was there to tell him I had just joined the Air Force. Talk about a kick in the nuts. Oh well, shit hapens, I would have gotten tired of the sales aspect anyways.

My favorite trunk install was Jeff Smiths 96 Accord.

Nice and stealthy

Yea I remember that guy. Don and I were direct competitors when he had that little targa porsche and I was running in my taurus. He would remember me with the purple taurus.

Actually Jeff's install was one of my favorites in the history or Rob's Accord

Yeah I have known those guys for years. Don sold me my first real stereo almost 12 years ago. Since then I have always dealt with Jeff Sanders, or at least till last year when he moved to home audio. In fact they are the guys that did the install in my Accord, since I was over seas at the time.

If your not sure who jeff is. He did the original install in Robs Accord. Back when they were running the old school Kicker solos, and the 5 white kicker amps.

actually Yes I have. I got to know Rob, Don and Gary quite well out there. Why?

OnYrMrk, I know this is a little off subject, but have you had any experiances with car toys (located in tulsa)

yea we were thinking about fiberglass. You see, the old installer who fabbed the trunk area, left the company, now a former employee of mine is their lead installer now. He is one heck of a 'glass man. And the first thing out of his mouth was we could fab that trunk and make it rock!

Anyhoo, it isn't costing me anything extra except maybe the focal 4's in the dash, but that may be covered too. after work each day I will be routing two more sets of rca's and applying more husmat to the ceiling. Possibly going to remake the headliner too.

Fiberglass? just a suggestion. its to early for me to think right now.
