All those were some older builds I have done. I am getting ready to be flown to LA for 2 more 370z installs, on top of that 2 more local Z's in my area.

This guy is seriously one of the nicest people I've met in a while, after talking via AIM for an hour or two, we met up and got my aftermarket head unit to work. Very friendly and well mannered. Def hit him up if you need help, highly recommended!
Thanks man, it was good to meet you and see a nice si. I am glad I got everything resolved for you. Hope to hear from you soon for the rest of the system upgrade. As for anyone else that needs help just let me know and I can help out.
I have an Alpine CDA-9805 CD player/radio. Recently the volume of the radio has gotten very low. I can only make out a couple of words occasionally if everything is quiet and the car is not moving. If the car is moving, or if there is any noise, I can barely hear the music and can not make out any words. I live in Seattle. Do you have any suggestions?
Well it can be a number of things, the first thing that comes to mind is that the internal amp could be going out OR could be shut off "if you are using the internal amp to power the speakers" Look for something in the setting about internal amp on and off. If you are using a external amp it could be that the rca pre out puts are going on it, or the amp could be failing. It also could be but a very slim chance that the speakers are being grounded out on a piece of metal and muting the power that the internal amp is putting out. It is an older unit but not that old, if none of those things work call up alpine and tell them what is going on even though ti is probably out of warranty, they are very good at repairing them for free or at a low price. Let me know what you find out so I can help you more. Good Luck
Here is one I did a while ago, it was a friends car.
Okay so today I started on my friends Honda civic i believe its a 91 but not sure. He installed the system himself and I will give him his props he did a good job. But now loaded with the right knowledge and my help we are going to overhaul the entire system. So enjoy the pics and the work to come.
The ride
The center counsel
Torn out
The small power wire sight and it was running a sony 1200 watt amp
e got started today by running the wires. Here are some pics.
The factory grommet
Running of the 4 gauge
Running the 4 gauge threw the grommet
All ran threw the fire wall
Running the wire threw the wall always needs a helper. Just so happened he was there to learn and work. He like to get to work and learn.
"pic in a bit"
Ran threw some holds in the floor braces.
Me and him just taking a nice shoot of us and our cars.
Okay did some more work today. This day I re ran the angle eye wires.
The wires as they basically were
Soldered the + wire
The wires all hidden the + wire is under the intake and the ground is under that rely bolt on the left. The wire was ran threw expandable tubing and the solider point was covered in head shrink
The right side all tucked in
The wire ran to the fire wall before it actually was ran threw
Okay yesterday we got back to working on the car. After the 2 days of rain. We fabricated the bracket for the fuse holder, and finished the angle eye power wire and the sub connections.
Measuring the hole locations for the bracket.
Jerry's first time using a drill press I let him drill the holes.
Brackets location made some pilot holes for easier install of the taping screws.
What the bracket will look like mounted
Bracket installed
Fuse holder installed going to cover the wire in black expandable mesh tubing
The wires for the angle eyes installed all soldered to the switch
Okay today we finished up the spray painting. Also made some gap brackets for the amp to sit up on so the wires can be ran underneath.
Here is Jerry cutting the wood for the gap brackets.
A look at how it will sit.
Painting them
How it looks painted it will set on top of the sub box.
