Hey Guys,

Alhumdulillah my Utopia Degree 7 Active, and Utopia 33WX V2 has arrived, these babies are dedicated to the True Spirit of Sound, and all those music lovers out there

Sourcing phase has been completed, everything has arrived, only few minor things left, install is going to commence once everything is in hand.

Stay tunned, it's going to be fun!

Cheers

Front stage upgrade is coming soon, Utopia (Which one would it be is a surprise), ETA from JM Labs is 15th March. Wish me luck with the new install.

Cheers!

Hey Guys,

I have planned a major re-install of my system, this is how it would go.

Plan is to change from the factory supplied pods, did some relocation of these pods to find the perfect placement, and thought to go with the fiberglass pods in the a-pillars, I have sourced some spare pillars already, tomorrow I am going to finalize the install and would post more pictures.

As some of you know that JBL-MS8 is in place, system layout has already been posted, there were few changes, I would explain them latter. And more pictures on the re-configurations in the amplifier layout in the trunk are also coming.

Stay tuned for some quick updates on coming holidays. Have a great Eid time. Gusta!

Focal is meant to be used for off axis dispersion.. 30, 45, 90 degrees whatever suits you..

Mine is not at all 'on axis', the pods are facing opposite headrests.. Look closely and you'd find that I took pictures while sitting in the middle of both front seats...

Haha I like to work it with the pen and pencil, the layout has some changes, stay tuned for updates..

Yes, you have to be a designer to get a finish like that.. Its definitely classy..
