Customer Review
"Matt (bigaudiofanatic) recently did a big install in my Mazda 6 and I couldn't be happier with the results. I first pm'd Matt for advice on what to get and he had plenty of good suggestions and answered every question I had. Seeing all of the positive feedback he has for his installs I decided to go to him for the install as well. I got a kenwood head unit with bluetooth and a metra steering wheel adapter, polk db 6.5 components for the front, polk db 5x7 components for the rear, a cadence amp for the speakers, a bazooka tube sub, a profile amp for the sub. Matt knocked all of this out in a single day, but by no means did he rush. He ran new wires, modified the stock tweeter mountings so the new tweeters would fit, used dynamat to fill in the gaps in the speaker mountings, soldered ever wire and used heat shrink...the list of little extra touches goes on. He treats your car like its his own, and he really takes his time and does clean work. I bombarded him with questions during the install and he happily answered all of them. He even taught me how to solder. If you want a thorough, clean, professional install for an incredibly reasonable price take all of your questions and your car to Matt. You will NOT be disappointed."

I finally got my dad to allow me to put new speakers in his element. He did not want a new head unit, "as of yet" but he did allow me to go ahead with new speakers. Tomorrow will probably do the fronts and install the polk mm components. This element does have the higher output stereo which means the new speakers can get more power. Before you ask you can not do the same with your bose system.

Let's get started.

Old rear speakers

Speaker adapters

My trusty assistant always there to leaned a hand and look over my work. AKA tiger the audio helping cat.

Yep all looks good Matt button it up!

Factory sub

Decided to keep the factory plugs in place in case he wanted to go back which I do not see happening.

Stock sub was a dual voice coil 4 ohm I went with a single voice coil kicker 4 ohm.

More tomorrow.

bigaudiofanat · 11-14-2010, 12:15 PM

Today did a sub install on a 2010 Jeep Patriot. Went smooth and took about a half a day.

Fi Sub

Power wire ran

Used some zip ties after this.

Fuse block mounted and wires covered and ran.

Sub box in place

Hey Matt, I PMed you a few weeks ago to no avail about a potential job in Baltimore. Can you PM so I can give you the details?

Hey Matt,
Your work speaks for itself. I know a lot of your installs are pretty intense stuff. I wanted to go a lot simpler. I'm looking to swap out my stock system for a single din head unit and upgrade my speakers. I'll never be adding a sub, I want a simple setup that I can hook my ipod to. I don't need navigation, bluetooth or satellite. I also don't want a separate amp, I run a tiny braille racing batter. What head unit and speaker setup would you go with suggest?

I would recommend the polk db's for running of the head unit and any of the alpine head units because there ipod integration is much better than other brands. Also if you wanted a little extra power there is a add on amp alpine makes that you plug into the back of your head unit and hides behind the head unit with no additional wires to run.

All, I am probably not saying anything new on this forum but Matt (bigaudiofanat) did a FANTASTIC job on my nismo this weekend and I am way oversatisfied with the quality of his workmanship, his work ethic and patience.

There was so much work to be done and Matt tackled it like a champ. Matt, I hope you enjoyed the Audi R8 experience from your shakiness (I had to let all know), maybe next time around we'll get to go around for a ride.

Pics to come in shortly in album.

bigaudiofanat · 01-26-2011, 01:29 PM

Well did another z another nismo to be exact. So here is the install.
Starting the wiring

Ah the good stuff

Next morning

Guy likes to take pictures

bigaudiofanat · 01-26-2011, 01:31 PM

Let's start taking the dash apart

THERE IS YOUR PROBLEM

Running new wires

bigaudiofanat · 01-26-2011, 01:36 PM

Anything is better than stock but the polks are a great bang for the buck.

Dynamat

Solder the connections

Oh it was COLD went and bought this baby

New panels

Power wire

Test test

Few more of the amp and sub coming.

birdmanx1 · 01-27-2011, 06:39 AM

Zowners, I am not saying anything you didn't know already but I just wanted to add that Matt is a very talented installer. I was the one slowing him down during the work with the constant food breaks and pics shots. He is like a driven mad cow on steroids

It was 19degree and windy but Matt cracked up jokes throughout the install and did a phenomenal install job ...glad to have you down this past weekend in Bmore and thanks for the scary driving experience; now I know why my girl gets scared when riding with me on the passenger side

Enough said, gotta go watch 300 in my new hangout place in the garage, Matt, you think you could hook me up with a 3D projector system and popcorn machine in the car
