That is the edead from Elememtal Designs.......it comes in black or blue and is like super thick paint.......but it works really good.......it is going in the back seat area and the doors as well.......and if I have any left I am doing the hatch with it too.......

I coated it withthe .45 mil edead after that.........doing the rest of car today..........I will take lots of pictures from the install........I may do a temporary hook up to see how it all sounds.......as i still have to build an amp rack.....the thing is huge.........

 

Oo thanks for the reply. ive just never seen it in that color before. lol

 

Here is todays work.......took two of us 8 hours........tomorrow the D3 will go in and hopefully I can get the amp in as well........man this was a lot of work to do.....

 

Finally it is in............busted an RCA for the sub so tomorrow I gotta do a bit of soldering.......but it is very clear and loud even for not being tuned yet.......






total time for install from start to end was around 45-50 hours.............not done though still gotta clean it up and tune it.......I have to install the Blue tooth and ipod still........but other than that it is in............sorry to take so long guys........

 

u know what.. i hate you! seriously.. i do lol

j/j damn nice install!!!!

 

ok im lazy... but anyways maybe u can help me.
mines installed, bypass is fine everything is fine.
cept 1 slight problem, rear speaker volumes. it's extremely low even if i put the fade all the way in the back, and ajck up the volume. i dont have any staging effects or what not on, no woofers etc.

 

well so i did it...i took the plunge. I just bought my avic-d3 for $812 from a local authorized auto store =] so in the end it will be about $612 after rebate with ipod adapter and remote. Can't wait to install it.

 

Man you are gonna be happy with that purchase.........the unit is pretty user friendly........and the sound quality is good too........got my comps tuned in today.......still fighting the sub.......and the navi says I am in the Puget Sound..........but I do live like 500 feet from it.........guess it takes a bit of tuning...........LOL

 

yea now me and my friend are gonna take a shot at installing this ourselves since the audio place wanted $150 installed...

 

How big an install are you doing .........just a basic install of the deck to the stock wiring harness...........it was pretty easy to do........the instructions on the first page of this thread were what I used to do it and it is working perfect.........save your $150 and do it your self...........one of the easiest decks to install I have tried........

 

yea just basic...all i bought was the remote and ipod adapter. Hopefully i'll be adding an ed system in the summer. Where did you get your dash kit and wire harness from?

man i can only imagine how long it'll take me and my friend to install deaden, 13av.2 in a vented box, nine.1 amp =( and thats after the avic-d3 install that me and him will install really soon. My sound system will probably be install in the summer

 

lets have a 13AV2 install party at ur place lol. i got my edead installed, 6500s installed, nine.2, nine.1... just waiting to build a ported box for the 13av. bout to buy the avic d3 lil brother... the 4700, same unit without the nav for 499. w00t.

 

let us know how the 4700 is .........I almost bought it instead to save money.......I have Nav on my phone so I was not sure about what to get........and no reviews on the 4700 at the time......

 

Yay with eDead, BZinn!

I might be buying the Bluetooth unit pretty soon. Where/how are you guys mounting that badboy? And where are you placing the microphone?

 

I am gonna mount the blue tooth unit under the radio if possible and the mic is going onthe steering column if the unit willnot fit then behind glove box it is going.....

yes edead makes a hell of a differance..........car sounds a lot differant inside now.......even the exhaust is quiter.......a lot quieter......LOL

 

how much edead did you get and what was the cost?

 

I didn't read through all 21 pages of this thread so if this was already answered, sorry, but does anyone know if this works with the factory iPod connector in the arm rest?
