My latest 100% custom install (e12K.44 + Tsunami db1100).

that looks really nice, how heavy is your install?

Great job Intruder. You have got some talent! I like how clean it looks. I bet it sounds as good as it looks too!

[Intruder]

Thanks Mike. It does sound good.

Are you selling your car? I thought I saw it for sale in another post! I should be getting leebanger's rims/tires and some springs for my ES next week! I want to change my stereo set up and make it look clean like yours. I also want to get a new set of 5 1/4" components for the kickpanels, but that will have to wait since I just blew a lot of dough this week. :D

I am not selling my car. I never had it for sale. It's never going to go for sale. lol It's mine for life. After all the things I have done to it (and plan on doing) I doubt anyone is going to want to buy it (for a reasonable price that is... I can always sell it for $500).

Hey, nice install! (Crazy how stuff like this makes it around the net, eh?) I feel honored that someone got inspiration from my personal install. How do you like that Tsunami amp? I've not had any experience with them personally. And those eD subs sure are neat. Fantastic sound. For some reason eD removed the users' cars from their website, though.

[Intruder]

Hey Joe, nice meeting you! Heh, the internet is amazing. I love your car!

This Tsunami is my first amp, and I cannot compare it to anything else. It has plenty of power for sure, but I can't compare it sonically to anything else. Sorry.

Yeah, eD redesigned their website and since then the featured cars have been gone. Maybe they'll reintroduce the feature again? I don't know if Ben is still working on the website.

BTW, how did you find this thread?

[Intruder]

BTW #2, did you notice any difference after the Burr-Brown upgrade done to your T-2.100? Have you been able to do an A/B comparison? I ordered some op amps, but I haven't done the upgrade myself yet.

My flatmate actually found this thread and forwarded me the link. I guess he was looking for my stuff on eD's site, couldn't find it, and searched the web with Google.

As far as the Burr-Brown upgrade, I actually bought the amp with it pre-installed so unfortunately I have no comparisons. (It has to be done at the factory.) I did a lot of research on a couple of high end car audio forums and talked to folks who had the upgrade done. People universally agreed it helped with the high end frequencies noticably, and since it was only $50 more I went for it. (Well, I *think* it was only $50... my brain seems to have forgotten.) Regardless, this is by far the best sounding audio system I've ever had, and it's the first time that *no* equalization had to be done on my subwoofer frequencies. That eD sub (combined with a great install) is completely flat in response. I got really, really lucky on that one.

Tsunami... I just heard on the radio that you killed 80 000 people with that, or is it something else...

Looks beautiful!

pics look great, i saw the process you took to build it. Colors look good with the 2 tone. Nice work! You should build and sell em.....youd make BANK!!!

[Intruder]

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it.

Joe, I bought some op amps from Digikey.com, and I planned on doing the upgrade myself, but I haven't had the time to do it. But if you're saying that it's a worthy investment, then I just might have to do it.
