Yeah, Thats a great one, Gotta love the "exposed wire" look. And hopefully they carried out the theme throughout the vehicle with wires on top the carpet, The power through the door jam. That would be a real show winning install.

he does have a point. the installer went as far as rotating the one amp so the RCA's would be together, and the rest of the 'exsposed' wires are on each end, allowing them to be grouped elsewhere, i dont agree that the exsposed wires are appealing, but its tidy at to some degree, if i were to have them on a rack like that' i'd take special care in placement of the wires to give it some sort of creative useage.
otherwise, not a bad rack.

We would call that a "Two Six-Packer", because that's probably what the installer drank just prior to doing that mess.

Thats disgraceful. Notice that he probally only mounted the one amp upside down to put the RCA's together. I am sure this wasnt done so it looked neater but that it was because the RCA's are splitters running off one patch cable at the top. Nice placement of the Dist Block as well. I am also a huge fan of the remote wire being left long so as to create that " I misplaced my butter knife so I will just bunch the wire up here" effect. Good God

No, no... I'm sure he flipped that amp over because he realized by having the power supply side of the other amp farther away from the input section that he would reduce the possibility of radiated interference. -------------

I find it kinda odd that he used $5 radioshack rca's, , then split them with some $30 worth of stinger splitters lol

although i was being more than modest, seeing the treo link was absurd. i thought the first image ledgend posted was a DIY first install. but even if it were, i suppose a DIY cant have the satisfaction of knowing it at least works and sounds good, cus it has to look nice too -_-.

dude, i hope to god that that treo install wasnt a pro install. cuz if it was whoever those "pro's" were, they need to be taken to a large open field and get caned and stoned to death with a large public audience. and no, i dont mean high off weed when i say stoned. haha.

If a customer brought that amp rack into my shop and he/she had done it themselves I would be impressed...At least he/she used wire hold downs to arange the wiring...Not like the bread ties and duct tape I see... I have always been a large fan of false floors and as little wiring showing as possible my self....Grommets are tha shiznit.... -------------  Making the World A Louder Place

Whoever did the Cavalier, probaly did this one also. It came into the shop like this... https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/tbirdman74/97%20Expedition/0567ab8f.jpg Hopefully we can find him, and I propose the return of public hangings... ------------- If it don't fit, Force it.

I have to agree with /r7, we all had to start somewhere. We may be knocking this individuals best work. The stealth installs will come with time and experience. If it sounds good and saved him money, then good on him but on the other hand, if he paid someone, I would demand a refund. lol. I'm wondering if he ran the power wire through the door jam and fender weld. (My personal favorite)

If this was a professional install then I can see the point of you all ripping on it. But more then likely it was non-professional, and i dont think it looks so bad for a non-pro. I would need to see the rest of the car before passing judegement, but if the wires are only visible from inside the trunk, then I see no problem. Ive seen many installs worse then that one.

If that isn't a Treo pro install, then why would they put that up on the web under installations? Thats supposed to represent their work, right?? When you own a custom paint shop, you don't let your friend park his home-spray-painted hooptie out front. Right? That enclosure doesn't even look like it holds any air either. If he was 12/13 maybe that would be okay. But he has to try a lot harder. Just like anything you need some practice. But don't bring the practice work to a car show, thats all I'm saying. "KEEP TRYING DUDE" And the dude with the MTX's needs to flip the other one back over at the "very least". I really hope everyone will keep trying to get pics of these crazy installs so we can all enjoy seeing them ------------- BOOM, BOOM, BOOM BOOM....

Does anyone know where that Treo guy lives? I just noticed he's wasting a USA2000......... I need to go pimp slap him and swap his "Player Quality" amp for a Sony P5 or the such. He doesn't deserve that quality until he stops destroying back seats to make "Two Six Pack" style speaker walls. Or is that a crack pipe wall? Or whatever. Just messing around........... ------------- BOOM, BOOM, BOOM BOOM....

It kinda looks like the owner could even unscrew and flip the logo right side up. But to mount an amp upside down like that is either retarded or "Art" 94legend wrote:

WEll i have to say, these types of installs like the TREO are made for the "special" gifted ones. Since they are not able to enter in regular competitions, they made up there own little organization for all those that ride the short bus  Don't Forget your Helmet!!!!!!
Its just all in fun and laughter.
