Just a thought.

I have been some to the best local shops and they don't have anything that matches. Problems with having a 2007 in 2006. I do have one hook up I can try and work.

Back to work...Baffles made for mids and tweets. Installed transflective monitor in dash so I can see the screen in the sun. Painted dash pieces to match monitor bezel.

I noticed that it was a Xenarc, and I read that it was a transflective....but I didn't put the two together!

DOH!

The mid/tweet is going into the A-pillars.

And yes it is a Xenarc. With transflective.

I got it into FPD two days before the deadline. They actually broke the panel I sent them. I think they scrounged this one from the lilliputs they were doing. Don't qoute me on that though.

This has to be by far the most intens converting a regular car into a car with carputer.. Great job!

seriously, this is going in my favorites-list

Thanks. Still have some tricks up my sleeve

There is still a lot of work to do but I think it's going to be worth it in the end. If there ever is an end.

And if anybody cares....I replaced my BU-303 GPS with a new BU-353. It tracks in the garage with the receiver mounted under the left A-Pillar.

How are you planning on angeling them?

FYI - they work better being completely off axis. Point the speakers towards each other, NOT towards a listener. Your imaging will be better this way. These Be speakers work better that way.
