I pulled the trigger on a OEM Audio Reference today. $850 shipped was right at what I was willing to spend for it.
anyways, if anyone here has experience installing one of these on a BRZ then maybe I could throw some cash your way instead of paying a local audio shop. It'll probably be after 4th of July until I'm ready since I gotta send the amplifier to the company to have the bass preference changed from robust to full. This also means that I'll be putting my current 8" sub up for sale. If anyone local is looking so add clean bass to their audio for cheap hit me up. We can meet up so you can have a listen to it before I disconnect it.

I would recommend uploading it to a third party site (imgur, photobucket, not sure if image shack still exists) and then getting the link from there. then click the image with the mountain and paste the link in there.

Preliminary research indicates the guy that sold me the OEM+ system had a 400+ then upgraded to the Reference. Called OEM+ and Daniel was A++ customer service, operating after-hours. Shot me over the instructions to wire up the extra harness to upgrade the 400+ to the Reference (since it becomes a 2 way system instead of 3), so should be able to have it running after work today.

I'll be doing the project in July, probably over two weekends. The trunk for practice, then the interior the following weekend. I can pull the car behind the house and stretch it over two days and take my time. For the MLV, looks like $180 with shipping for 100 sq ft of 1lb/sq ft is the best deal I've seen. I'm checking with the facilities guy at work to see if we have some kind of catalog where it's cheaper. Barring that, I might hit up some contractors who would be open to selling it. Given the number of musicians doing at-home soundproofing I would have thought it would be easier to find here. I got a quote a clear bra elsewhere, but I've been making my way through the thread and your info on Xpel has convinced me to check them out for a quote. In my last car I ended up behind a dump truck on 183 that chipped a bunch of paint and broke my fog lights (!!). |

Dump trucks are the worst! I've got a small roof dent from an airborne projectile from a dump truck on FM 78. #$@%# Too many battle scars on the BRZ front end to be classified as a garage queen for sure! But, all fixed up, washed, waxed, new window tint, new oil....she's ready for more urban assault action to be rode hard and put away wet!

It's great - I think it was worth the money I spent. That being said, I think people over exaggerate how good the system sounds (it's not "omg the best thing ever").
