New spacer installed on the right door. Much better!

Right door with the crappy plastic spacers I was using.

Overall pic. Ipod is in the top compartment nice and hidden. Below is the Alpine IDA-X100 Media Receiver for the ipod.

This is a picture of the Alpine PXA-H100 Audio Processor all tucked away with easy access to the connections by removing a simple plastic bezel piece.

Microphone connected to the PXA-H100 as well as the cable to my laptop.

Stinger battery terminal w/voltage readout (thats 12.3 not 2.3v haha). Also the stinger 80a breaker. No more blown fuses just reset it and were back in action. Quite the shitty setup goin there ill admit, but thats long gone and replaced haha.

Crap plastic spacers again. Big difference. By using the 1" thick MDF spacers it moved the speaker closer to the speaker grill on the door panel. Overall I can tell it sounds nicer also.

Me riggin somethin up so I could set the microphone where it needed to be.

More screen shots of the Imprint software doing its thing.

Close to being finished with the driver side door. I got some secrets still. Then she will be finished soon.

In this picture you see two representations of frequency response. The top line is the frequency response of my Nissan Sentra. The bottom line are the corrections made.

On the right is a picture of the Audio Processor. I know you couldn't see it well being installed where it is in the car. On the left it just the software and the microphone. Those were two separate kits I had to buy. They didnt come together

Getting close to being done. Project this time was upgrading all factory grounds with the 0/1 Gauge wire. Also running the 1/0 Gauge from the alternator the the positive of the battery.

Size comparison of the wires.

Nice new ring terminals on the end of the power and ground 1/0 gauge wires.

New wireing for the sentra. Red and Black wire is 0/1 gauge capable of 300+ amps of current. Top right is 10 gauge speaker wire. Bottom right is 12 gauge speaker wire.

Transmission grounding point.

Chassis grounding point.

Fray the end of the wire over the fitting and then screw it into the grounding block and that thing will never pull out.

Compression fitting for the 0/1 gauge wire for the grounding block.

Three grounding points: Strut Tower, Chassis, Transmission. All main factory grounds replaced.

Work completed. Took around 3-4 hours to complete the job. Voltage holds 13+ volts at idle with the stereo at full tilt now. Voltage levels were dropping below 12v with the system playing before the upgrades with inconsistent voltage readings. I will have to take some readings with the car off and see what I get.

Sundown and Polk Audio Amp mounted. All the wires organized.

Custom box for the sentra with the W6's

Sound deadening in the entire trunk.
