Kick panels complete. This is how they look after the paint job.

Installed the components yesterday. Sharing a few pictures

Kick pods.

Sir, Kamal ho gya. The FG pods and especially the finishing by the painter is simply wonderful.

Bohat Barya Nojawan.. Very nice and clean install as always ...

Thank you Waqas bhai.

not gonna lie, the work quality didn't look much good...

you're probably going to be hearing phatt phattt krr krrr sound from the interior panels soon...or maybe already do?

Thank you for your input sir. However, just for my knowledge, can you please share how to improve the quality of work. Might come handy in my future endeavors.

Also could you please guide me which frequencies would be dominant in rattling the interior panels? Which ones should i be worried about, the kick panels or the A-pillars??

Mind blowing setup Sir. Waiting for ur review on these drivers as well as staging in this type of install. Thumbs up

Thank you Waqas bhai, InshAllah will post a review after tuning and you know .... break-in

Very impressive DIY!

Can you share the name that the resin is sold under?

Thank you Sir. No specific brand, its the commonly available resin found with the fiberglass guys.

o bhai merey, I know nothing of sound systems...Just quality of work looked cheap so...I would rather suggest stick to OEM stuff, don't modify the car to accommodate the speakers, its going to start giving sounds later on most probably...Otherwise, I was surprised to see how good that small speaker on the panel looked.

Also, if I'm not wrong, isn't there supposed to be an airbag in that panel? Or your car has lesser airbags than 8 ?

Allaaa work Nauman bhai!

Not sure if Tweeters or Midbass in A-pillars

[Bilalicious]

Brilliant work!
Looks like factory finish!

Sir ..SQ install all go this way around the world , That resin becomes rock solid after drying ..so no chance of rattling ... If it would rattling in the first place so why this heavy Mehnat nauman bhai knows his work , and it's not his first custom install and other SQ guys on pakwheels ,they have been doing it for ages .some of And obliviously he would've kept original OEM panels some where safe .. Don't remember exactly that mark x have airbags in a pillars .., shouldn't it have curtain airbags ..

Good work nauman. It does not matter how it looks, but how it sound. And I am sure It would sound better than any other system in Pakistan because U take pains to built UR system. Simply Awesome.
Happy listening.

Sir excellent installation of drivers one more time and pods are looking simple yet elegent, lagta hai ke app ne bara time lagaya hai for creation of these pods. i could only just imagine the overall mahool in car, first its Marko second Alpine F1 status installed in it which leave with nothing but a dream come true

Sir also share your reviews about these beauties after break in and complete tune up..

Walaikum Assalam,
Thank you for your kind words Sir, I really appreciate your input :). In my humble opinion, i still have a lot to learn and much more to do in the tuning process. Then there is personal preference of individual listener. What sounds candy to my ears might not sound good to the other person. I will try my best to make the most out of what i have.

Thank you for your kind words Khurram bhai :). I actually did a little home work before jumping straight into the installation process. The manual that came along with the F1s helped me a lot with the drivers location and where to cross them. Overall mahool is good, tonality wise these drivers are laid back and warm, yet have detail and authority. They are very transparency, i think the wave guides attached to the tweeters have a lot to do with it. Overall i like the drivers and find them very much close to my listening preferences. Will post the review after giving the drivers a break in time and tuning process :).

Will do Taimoor bhai ATM considering which reverence curve to follow. Confused between the Harman Kardon and Audyssey reference curves.

^^^Harman Kardon have a roll off above 2.5khz which goes to apromimately -7db down to 20khz

^^As for Audyssey target curve the roll off begins at 4khz and goes down to about -9db in the 20khz region.

^^ Various target curves compared.

Aalaaa install sir. Love the factory finish. The best part about doing a diy is the satisfaction u get when people say it looks like it came from factory like that and in that department u have nailed it.
