That is sikk! :D I like those dual eD 10"s in the spare tire well. Very clean. And those mid's hidden under the custom kick panels (oh, drool). Very, very nice.

Looks as though the driver's side kick is being used as a dead pedal :???:

ok, so i don't know how those last two pictures got in there... i guess i could take them out, but i'm too lazy. if anyone really wants me to, i will. But yes, that is pretty nice. As SCREWaerodynamics! said he's got size 15 feet, mine are 13 and i wear skate shoes, so i'm not sure how practical that kick panel enclosure would be. I'd hate to spend so much money on speakers and get them ruined by the water off my shoes on a rainy day. But definately one of the cleanest installs i've seen yet. AND great pictures. The pictures of the edead on the trunk and hatch will really help me out soon. I didn't even think of using the v4 since i didn't really have a clue what i would use it for.

Aw, didn't really bother me... I've had girlfriends/significant others who wanted to throw me into a dumpster before too... At least both parties are smiling in the aftermath. :D

the v4 works really well in my opinion. don't forget to add a layer of it everywhere

i have laid out in the front half of my E. one layer below the front seats, each door panel, the space in front of the seats, and the space just in front of the rear seats. let me tell you, when i drive around, the majority of the road noise is coming from the rear where I didn't add v4. (i ran out. =( ) and it is substantially quieter up front. (i still hear the road on the highway tho...just not as much as before)


one layer is all you need. more layers is possible, but it gets really thick and hard to compress.

Oh man, i wish she was my girlfriend. Instead she's just simply one of the best friends i've ever had. Which is cool i guess. SCREWaerodynamics!, So the v4 really quieted everything down a lot? Did you do you hatch and tailgate? How do the panels fit back on with the v4 below?

hey, that's my E!! not sure who the chick and the dude are though, me and my girl are a bit older. i'll get some add'l pics up after Christmas, i leave tomorrow for tahoe and than seattle after that. recently added all sorts of fun stuff to my 03 (leather shift knob, bigger arm rest, slotted/drilled EBC rotors, etc.).

It quieted down everything enough to be substantially noticeable. It won't be dead quiet...and it won't be quiet like a nicer car (for example a Nissan Maxima that my dad drives). But you should notice a significant decrease in road noise.

If you go down this route and want to cover the entire floor, gate, four doors, and the walls of the car between the rear gate and rear doors....then I would suggest getting 90 sq feet of v4. I ordered 40 and didn't have enough for rear and sides. 100 sq ft of eDead v1SE is enough to cover the entire car and still have some leftover.

Getting panels back on had a few problems. Just make sure you cut holes where pegs are. The floor will present the biggest challenge, if you v4 the floor. It was hard getting the front seats back in, in addition to the panels below the seat, without cutting away what I had already laid down. Everything else posed no problem.

Didn't mean to jack your ride bigjus. i posted those before i relized you were already on the forum. I'll more than gladly take the pics down if you want. The last two are accidental. I couldn't remember what the code i was supposed to use was so i copied those from photobucket to use the format and then forgot to delete them. I'll do that now actually.

hey, no worries, i don't care. i don't login much around these parts anymore, it's allll good.

anybody looking for a nine.2 or nine.4? i have brand new amps in the box that i've never touched (well, one was touched for measurements).

how much for the nine.2?

Nice install bigjus. You should post here more often.

Skillz, and lots of them. You got 'em.

The question is, can you still hose out the interior like Element owners claim they can do?

My favorite reply - Just another in the long line of MITHS.....lol

just curious, what is the length of the amp?

DLS shows the measurements on their website as 18.85 x 9.65 x 2.33 inches.
