if you must know, the k201 amp and deq-p90 processor are stacked below of k202/k401 but with a wood board in between. i didnt get the pic of that. btw this wasnt a self install. it was done in my regular audio shop in singapore.

will post the final pics when its all done

In post #2 it appears there is cosmetic damage to the processor.

Are they tuning the system for you also?

I sound proofed my 07 MCS with Dynamat and upgraded my HK as well - new amp, 4 speakers (including Focals in the doors which are great), and a sub woofer - but did not go to your level. I have a real appreciation of your work. My upgrade was a dramatic improvement. Your system must really be incredible.

Very interesting install.
Would you recommend the 3" mid install on the doors as you did?
I mean vs playing the mid from custom installed skaaning 7"/5.25" near the kick panel (on the door)?

hi
i would reccomend the 3' to be on the a pilliar together with the tweeter as the sound doesnt seem to 'come out' on where the current position. but then again this is my wife's car and she has the final say.

thanks

hi
will try to get a quick snap shot of it. as my wife is hiding the car away from me as she enjoys her MCSa too much.

the screen is installed on the storage compartment, where the multi disc change is suppose to be. which our car didnt come with that option.
