That's pretty cool, how'd you do that or who did it for you.

Was done by Auto Audio Installations in Park Royal, NW London. It's a pretty crazy place - got everything from a LaFerrari whose stock stereo apparently isn't good enough for somebody, to 50s Mercedes having total cosmetic refurb, to a DB11 being fitted out with (I kid you not) air compressors to make the sounds of all of James Bond's guns.

I'm having a whole system put in (just music, no armaments!). Have speakers and amps at the moment and it's definitely got potential (I'm hearing details in music I'd no idea were there, and it goes extremely loud with no distortion) but currently the sound overall is a bit of a mess because I'm breaking the speakers in before AutoAudio install a digital signal processor, which is apparently the last piece of the puzzle (12vNick may have told me so...). This allows the signal from the head unit to be fettled in general and have a time delay put on it, so the driver's side speakers play fractionally after the passenger ones, and a proper stereo image can be achieved.

I'll of course write a full review when it's all done.

In the meantime, here's what the frunk looks like now:

What the heck? Where are your backseat passengers going to put their arms?

Seriously, that is one perfect installation.

Damn awesome Magic! The shop sounds unbelievable and will definitely need your review. You must be paying a small fortune for it. I know I cannot afford such a sound upgrade, so I went for my own dumb down/cheap version -- a pill speaker on the back armrest!

Those look sharp! But super spendy when new! Did you pick them up new or used?

What in the world do you use a 600ft lb torque wrench for on a car? I wish I had your biceps!
