So you pretty much know now that I do very nice installs. I also do computer repairs and other electronics as well. If you need an install done or just have some questions just let me know. I travel up to 3 hours to meet someone for an install. I also will post my installs here showing my work. My aim and yahoo messenger is reimermatt. No question is to stupid to get answered.

    Here are a few older installs 97 Volvo 850. It was probably one of the more easier installs I have done. Here are some picks of the install.:cool:

    The loot

    The wiring harnesses getting ready to be all soldered

    The hole for usb port

    The usb port
    100_1079.jpg

    The sirius radio power plug lets mod it a little
    100_1065.jpg

    Open it up
    100_1066.jpg

    Solder it up
    100_1082.jpg

    Heat shrink it all ready for being wired behind the dash after being wrapped in electrical tape.

    This one was a big one I will quote his review so you can read it.
    So Matt helped me install a kickass system in my 2008 Accord. It took a couple of days and a lot of driving but it was definitely worth it. Matt is a chill guy and we got along well right from the start.

    I pulled into his driveway on Saturday morning a little before 8am and he had all of his tools and supplies laid out and ready to go.

    We installed:
    JL C5-650 components in front
    JL C5-650x coaxials in rear
    JL Slash 300/4v2 amp
    Infinity 10" Basslink
    JL CleanSweep
    MTX Re-Q
    Dynamat Xtreme on floor, doors, rear deck and under back seat

    We started off by stripping the interior of the car:
    DSC00942s.jpg

    Then we jumped right into laying down the Dynamat .. here is the passenger's-side floor:
    DSC00949s.jpg

    Door before Dynamat
    DSC00954s.jpg

    Door after Dynamat
    DSC00967s.jpg

    Fuse holder mounted
    DSC00979s.jpg

    Cleansweep wired up, not yet secured
    DSC00989s.jpg

    Amp being wired up
    DSC00988s.jpg

    One of the rear crossovers mounted
    DSC00987s.jpg

    Finished!!
    DSC00993s.jpg
    DSC00994s.jpg

    Overall it took us about 25 hours spread out over 4 days (with breaks and stuff). Matt made the two and a half hour drive up to my place twice without hesitation. He did great work and I learned a lot along the way .. if you need any car audio stuff done, contact matt (AIM reimermatt), you won't regret it.

    Rear tv's
    IMG_5289.jpg

    Rear Deck infinitys don't ask me why he wanted them in the back and the polks in the front.

    Cd changer
    IMG_5276.jpg

    It also had 2 hifoinic amps mounted to the rear seats and the wires tucked threw the seat itself. There was also a box with 2 kikcer l5's. It was nice to bad I did not get picks of them.

    Door panels off
    IMG_6035.jpg

    This is why factory is no good LOL
    IMG_6039.jpg

    The ID cxs components the woofers need 3 inches of clearance for the magnet.
    IMG_6038.jpg
    IMG_6037.jpg

    Using the z closure spacers and installing them with some bigger bolts you can fit just about any speakers in your door, just as long as you shave some of the ring off were the bolt goes the door panel fits perfectly with a good amount of clearance.
