Well I took my Mark VIII back into the install bay yesterday. Planning on rebuilding the trunk area to make the air-ride suspension and spare tire more accessable. So a new design is in order. anyone have some suggestions.

three amps,
one sub
one dig eq
integrate the Focal symbol somehow.

I am open for some suggestions. Bear in mind, this is a sq comp car.

thanks in advance.

Joe

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

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.

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

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.

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

My favorite trunk install was Jeff Smiths 96 Accord.

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.
