Andrew's? My BRZ has been in the garage for almost 3 months now :P Waiting for the weather. I have a BMW for my daily now. I am always around. I did not know he had a brother with a BRZ.

Helped my brother wrap his motorcycle with vinyl, used a couple scraps to do the steering wheel trim. The rest of the interior will be done soon.

Yup, haha. I've seen your car around before, I dig it.

Yeah, I have a GTI and the BRZ. The GTI is as fast as the BRZ

Finally got my Laffy taffy in the mail! Oh and my rexpeed mirrors from FT86-SpeedFactory! The laffy taffy is already gone and the mirrors will go on tomorrow!

Thanks.

Alpine speakers are known for its clarity and these did not disappoint. When installing I did one full side speaker swap compared to the other and when cranked up the clarity still remains. Where on the stock speakers were crackling.

The dynamat is a must if you don't mind the extra 25-30 lbs added to the car at the end. The car feels more sturdy and grounded and I hardly hear my 3" Perrin Catback Exhaust. The drone and road noise where noticeably reduced.

No they weren't plug and play, they rarely are. What I did was just re-use the OEM speaker sockets, minus the dash speakers because they were attached aggressively onto the factory speaker. So I just ordered the dash ones from crutch-field. A bit of splicing here and there and a heat gun and I was good.

As far as the Head Unit, I'm still using the factory HU but I'm sure I'm going to have rewire once I receive my pioneer HU.

I went with Alpine throughout..

4" SPS-410: for dash
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/sps-410

- slight mod needed to fit this into the dash (trim plastic & drill new screw hole.)

6 1/2" SPR-60C: for doors and back
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/spr-60c
- i need to creating housing for both these positions using particle board for doors & hardwood for rear.

Got the Rexpeed mirrors installed! Definitely going to take some getting used to but they make a huge difference!

Thanks! My MB Quart door speaker tore and I was looking for something more robust to replace them with for under $500 (they were only $100 anyways). I sent my shop a request for recommendations, but I'm thinking the Alpine ones will do just fine. I never thought of replacing the dash ones. Hopefully that's not too much work to swap. Thanks!

Here is a picture of my door speaker for the Alpine 6 1/2". Note that you would have to use a mounting spacer to install the speaker. I made this myself but here is a link to where you can purchase them.

As for the dash 4" Alpines. The fitment fits well with enough depth. Just not you will have to move it around a bit to sit well. I had to shave about an 1/8" of plastic off in the dash and drill a new hole into the plastic. Other than that they fit well.
