im in two minds about the astra h, numberplaque spot on but ,but you could have it spelt as faulks hall as that is where vauxhall is derived from and it would confuse those who dont know vauxhall history

Its just a daily driver. Just took the life and astra badges and it looks loads cleaner. Been thinking about some rims and lowering it but the silver one takes all my money. Am redoing my install at mo. @Taz666. Yeah I know all about faulks Hall but people round my way are simple and that would confuse them.

The white one would look great with a little subtle modding.

Cheers guys!! Did think of nurberging the white one but its just a fanily run around. and only a 1.4!! Lol. Besides as I say the silver one is sapping my money as rebuilding my install for the 4th time. '


Pics..................... 


Ok this is what I had already....



5 hawker powersafe batteries weighing 50kg each. Each one providing me with 105ah of power, and two Pro-plus Titan amplifiers running at 1 ohm giving me 2000wrms.



8 JBL Gt-4 subwoofers in a "walled" enclosure with an internal volume of 26 cubic foot.




Couple of pics mid build


Stinger battery up front..



Orion component set in the doors with tweeters in standard place.

That install was giving me 149.7db @ 25hz and has done the damage to my passenger door below!. Loud enough you might think. Not for me.



So im adding even more amps, woofers and speakers.

I have 4 of these but installing two in passenger footwell. Pro-plus SPL 8's. 8 inch woofers





Have got 3 of these but just putting one in each front door. Pro-plus SPL 6's. 6.5 inch woofers

 



Also got one of these going in either door. Pro-plus SUB 5's.





There will also be 2 Pro-plus tweeters going into either door.

All the above will be run of my 3 of these. Pro-plus V400 amplifier's





Oh and two more Pro-Plus Titans!!!



Not going to be to everyone's tastes I know but each to their own I suppose. ANY comments welcome!!!!

Its not to my taste but I can appeciate all the work you have put into it. That is an awsome sound system that my poor old ears just would not cope with. It also looks the dogz :good:

Are we going to see it at one of the meets this year?

Even if you don't you will hear it.

As you say "each to their own" but I do admire the work. It's your passion so that's what really counts. Fair play to you.
