D Unit gets a proper SQ install by Simplicity Sound

[D Unit]

I posted this on another forum, but I want to contribute to this forum as well. This forum by far has the nicest layout, but the only thing it's missing are all the Scion Owners...

If any of you are located anywhere near San Jose, CA. and need a competent, anal, obsessive-compulsive perfectionist to meet your car audio needs, Bing is your guy. If you're still looking for another anal obsessive compulsive for something else, then you might want to try Craigslist in the personals section.:P But seriously, I simply told him that I have a $2K budget that I saved from canceling the stock navigational unit option, and he said no problem.

Why spend 2 grand on just the stock navi when you can get ALL this for a similar price?
Pioneer AVIC D3 + Ipod Adapter + Steering Wheel Controls
Image Dynamics 6.5" Components
Image Dynamics ID12v3
Simplicity Sound Custom Installation

Goals:
1. Decent SQ on a budget
2. Full stealth while retaining all storage bins in the back.

Upfront, the signal starts with a Pioneer Avic-D3 Navi Headunit. Front stage is a pair of Image Dynamics Chameleon 6.5" component set with the tweeters sunk into the A pillars.



Here's a closer look at the driver side tweet...



The Chameleon mid basses were mounted in the stock location and as usual, the entire door is dampened with Edead v4 and ue...





To save me some $$$, we agreed to leave the rear speakers stock running off the D3. After auditioning to the car, I have absolutely no regrets with that decision.

As for the trunk, this is what it looks like when you open the hatch. As you can see, 100 percent completely bone stock looking...



Even when you remove the carpet, it looks like this--STILL looks like stock!



Lift up the stock floor cover, and here is the system. Fake floor in CF vinyl, a single ID12v3 sits in a 1 cubic foot sealed enclosure, while a DLS performance CA51 5 channel runs the entire show, framed by a cut out. The amp is running the front stage active, sending 65-75 watts to each mid and tweet, and around 250 watts to the sub

It's so simple, it's genius...






BTW, Bing made an adjustment to the false floor to make it hinged that's not shown in the picture. So, if I ever want to use the stock storage bins in the rear, I don't have to pull out the false floor, but simply lift the end part up since it's hinged. I'll get some pics of it later for you guys... Hey UberSpeed, you might want to check out the hinged false floor--pretty sweet.
