Look at the size of the box in that box!

Looks good man! Like the hood and the amp rack.

Yes, you are right... the exposure would be here in scionlife... because you cannot see none of the setup when the car is locked up... limo tint in the back part... windshield is tinted as well (not limo) you cant see the speakers in the rear windows from outside also... even when the lights are on.....

sweet set up .... IMHO i think the stripes on the box in the box could have matched the outside to add a little more onsistancy?:

I could not agree with you more... and actually the vinyl that we slapped there was temporary... but as I stated at the beginning... this is work in progress and the vinyl material will be stripped and it will be covered in fiber glass to then paint and match to the car......

One is for the cold cathodes located in the rear windows. Another is for the LED's on the A/C vents and the third one will be for the LED iluminating the flor and under the seats.

ok thanks man.....I posted a thread about it but no-one had any concrete answers.....I was wondering if it was something Kenwood overlooked as far as voltage changes being picked up by the audio outs......BTW: I have an amp hooked up to the front stage.....

That is one of the most wicked amp setups I've seen in a
long time!! I LOVE the speakers in the rear window section!
Kick ___ idea!

You need to have that box rewrapped though. The vinyl looks
droopy and dimpled in some sections and takes away from
the quality of the overall setup.

Damn that is a nice setup though! LOVE the hood!
