Welp. For the longest time I have wanted to get something installed by these guys here at SoundScape. Dan Ungaro (who posts here, though not often) is the owner of this establishment and one excellent dude who undoubtedly know's his car audio. Just one of them things whenever you walk into a store (regardless of what it is) and you start talking to an individual and you think in your head, this dude know's his shit.
One thing I really love about his store too is that whenever you go in there, they don't just try to sell you a bunch of unnecessary shit. Especially if you already have a plan on what you want to do, or already bought your items. If they feel they need to give you some recommendation on something, or advice or what not, that's one thing but when you walk into a store and say you have a budget of $250, and they're trying to sell you a set of Hertz Mille's or something, that stuff bugs the hell out of me and happens at almost every shop too. I understand why, but either way, it's still annoying. :P
I remember when he first posted his thread about him looking for work whenever he didn't have a store front and was based in Wylie, TX. As time progressed he has a really, really nice store in Plano right off of 75. He's a Hertz/Audison, HAT, and PG dealer.
Anyways. I got a quote from him to do the following to my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Ext. Cab:
Sound deaden both front doors. Inner and outer panels.
Install components up front in factory location.
Install amp.
Wiring.
Head Unit.
Subwoofer.
Subwoofer enclosure.
I provided all the equipment. List is as follows:
HU - Clarion CX501
Front stage - JBL MS-62c 6.5" components.
No rear fill.
Polk Audio MM1040 10" subwoofer.
Stinger Roadkill Expert - Bulk Pack.
Precision Power PPI 900.4.
PAC OS-4 wiring harness.
Metra 95-3305 double din dash kit.
He provided all the wiring and RCA's (All Audison Connection) and set all the gains using a O-Scope and adjusting the crossover's with an RTA.
Here below is a bunch of pics he took of the install, mostly the doors and such, which is a vital part to an install. Of course. I took pics of the wiring inside the hood, under the seat of the amp and the head unit. It's all tucked away really well, but at least you can see how it looks.
Anyways, here's some pics!
Just a pic of the left door. Stock speakers still inside.

Passenger side door. Baffle and JBL mid.

Driver's side door with whatever the heck that metal thing is. Lol.

Wiring ran by the driver's side seat. I didn't take a after picture of this but there's no reason. Very clean.

Front pic of the PPI 900.4 and the RCA's. This is mounted underneat the driver's side seat. Fits like a glove. The crossover's from the JBL's are mounted underneath this as well.

No idea why this is upside down but this is the backside looking under the seat of the wiring to the amp.

Wiring at the battery. Just beautiful in my opinion.

Wiring ran from the battery going back into the right side through the fire wall. Real nice and clean and super stock looking. The covering they ran over the wires looks extremely nice.
![]()
Just another section of the wiring.

Running down into the firewall.

Overall I am extremely pleased. After some quick tuning, it sounds phenomenal. Everything is optimum. I've never had a system to where I could crank it up all the way and not have any distortion what so ever. I've never had a system that I've had to keep everything relatively flat on the EQ, because that's where it sounds the best. Only EQing I've done is reduced the bass from the mids, and upped the treble a little bit. That's it.
Dan, and the other two gentlemen who did the install did a fantastic job. I'm more then satisfied. I highly recommend the shop and feel free to PM me for any additional information. I'll help as much as I can.
