Completed pics of my new FOCAL system...

[Bakushan]

Here are the first completed shots. In these pictures the car has not yet been cleaned or detailed. I am getting a custom black suede steering wheel and a roll-cage next, so it will change some more from what you see in these photos. Still, its done with "luxe" as they have completed their project after 10 months. The sound is incredible. No distortion at any volume. Sound is an "experience" in this car. I am excited.

Alright, I usually don't care for the bling stuff but I'll admit that the light on the inside of the door is cool.

Nice!

When the car is all closed up and you are inside of it, its actually quite subtle. Plus I have a dimmer control for it on the dash, and an off switch. If the "scheme" should ever change, I have controllers inside the door panel that can switch the color to white, red, etc.

The best part is the actual sound, and the feel of all the suede.

Very cool. I am getting a new stereo system in My S2000 today.

Alpine IDA-X305S - Head Unit
Focal Polyglass 165 VR 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component Speakers
JL Audio 8W3v3 Subwoofer << Small but fits easily in an S2000 trunk on the right side
JL Audio 300/4v2 Class A/B Four-Channel Full-Range Amplifier

Not as impressive as your system but I am excited.

Thanks. I try to document it for those who might be interested in custom builds.

interior illumination is a subtle art form, the modifications need to complement the vehicle in ways so that the bling does not overpower the natural beauty of the car itself ...

hrm, now that I've read my post - I've determined I may be watching too much BRAVO network ... :hmmmm2:

So, saying that, what do you think of the lights in my car? Over-done? Subtle enough? Maybe have to wait to see the final product?

Are you doing green lights to go with the wrap and wheels? I like subtle ambient lighting, so for me personally it's a little much, everything else looks pretty good though. Not sure how you came up with the design for the light's but doesn't really do it for me. I will say you're car will definitely be a show car now, cause all that stereo work is going to directly counteract the extra power you're adding. At the end of the day as long as you like it that's all that matters.

That's hilarious. I'm going to print this out and keep 10 in the car at all times.

On a more serious note, the car looks great Jared! Whenever I decide to re-do the system in my benz you and I will need to talk!

The calculations I have done tell me that I am adding aprox 230lbs of additional weight to the car. Conversely, I have lost 115lbs of personal weight and still have 60 to go. Maybe I can even it out with a diet. :laugh:

Oh man. If someone gave one of those to me I would die. I hate rice more than anyone on earth, trust me.

I didnt design it... but I can tell ya who did. You need to hear it man. The SQ is near perfection. No rattle... not even any dynamat. It just sounds perfect. Very loud, very clear.

[TXS2000]

I can only imagine how good it sounds. Focal is amazing at reproducing crisp clear sound at very high decibels.
