Thanks -- I didn't have any issues with the door pulls, to be honest when I bought the panels they came with these pulls.

Truly a beautiful car!...and finished just in time to enjoy the summer. Got to love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks! The plan changed plenty of times along the way but I am very happy and trying to drive it every chance I get!

Wow, incredible work and detail. One of the meanest looking Camaro's I have seen on this site.

Richio1 05-23-2013 08:08 PM

Yeeee Haaaaa... That is awesome Raj.

Totally jealous but very happy for you. I've got the opposite problem, the weather. Is awesome hear but don't have mine done yet.


Can't wait to see more pics and hear that bad boy in a video.

Congrats!!!!

I peeped that, cuz I am considering either one 10W7 or two 8W7's in the rear deck myself. With my first build, I had two 12W7's in the trunk. Crazy, stupid bass...way too much. Now, I'm downgrading to either one 10 or two 8's like I said. How do you like the single, 10W7?

I love the sound and the range of the 10" vs 2 8" -- I have had both setups and the ability of the 10" to get lower is a big plus for me and I always like the look of the single sub in the rear deck that way it also left me enough room on either side for my components. I will say the w7 is a bit of a pain interns of install and wieght but is well worth it!

I know it sucks when the weather is nice and you can't just hop in in go for a drive. I had that last year when my blower seal was leaking.

From my conversations with some audiophiles a few years ago the best way to run JLs are in a series a 3. 1,3,6, etc. For whatever reason. But I ran 3 15" W3s in my Explorer a few years back & it was ridiculous. It was right before the W7s debuted. I was told that one 13" W7 is equal to the 3 15s I was running. Like the OP said, one 10" W7 should be more than enough.

The Camaro is sick as s**t by the way.

Thanks! And the theory with 1,3,6 etc... is what I heard from a JL rep years ago, don't know the logic behind it but a single 10" is more than enough not matter what series it is.

GregWeld 05-30-2013 08:52 PM

Two W7's sound pretty killer if you ask me...... :D :D

Looks greats Greg! What I should have said is one 10" is more than enough in my little car!

Same here. It was never explained why, but a JL rep, Tweeter installer, & other audio shops said the same thing.

thats simply a marketing gimmick by JL...it makes no difference whatsoever for the output.

W7s are decent woofers for your average install. I think in a car like this they just so happen to look killer aswell. With that said there are FAR better SQ woofers out there than the W7, and when it comes to SPL (getting loud) the W7 is actually not much more than average.

3 w3 15s should absolutely demolish a single 13w7 if each were properly powered in proper enclosure. But ive heard JL say that aswell...just another marketing ploy. I recall when the w7 was first being released how it was marketed as the best woofer in the world...lol.:snapout:




Now without being a debbie downer......AMAZING CAR!

I actually spoke to an installer yesterday about the same thing. He has no JL affiliation. His explanation was that with the older W3s & below the series of 3 was actually a valid point. He said once the W6s, W7s, & newer models came out that was a moot point. I know that when it comes to SPL competition that JL is not at the top of the list. The W7 is just a loud a** woofer. It doesn't bring that exemplary clarity that SPL is known for. I believe that Focal offers much better clarity than JL. But JL is still a very good brand. I prefer it for what I like.

Got a chance to get out with Ryan (Rybar) yesterday and go for a bit of a cruise! Pictures courtesy of Ryan's camera!

Rybar 08-04-2013 07:27 PM

Was a fun little get together. I have no words to describe how insanely sick Raj's car sounds opened up. But the Grave Digger monster truck comes to mind. That's why I'm going to nickname this beast Grave Digger 2.0 haha

Raj we need to get some video of that sh*t for everyone to hear!

X3, great looking rides. Raj, was hoping you were going to bring that to the GG's show in Puyallup! Time for a sound clip please.

DOOM 08-05-2013 05:58 AM

OMG! Your killing me Raj!!!!!!!!!!! The pictures are Awesome!!!! Looks like you guys had a blast!:king:

tubbed69 08-05-2013 07:12 AM

very cool pics,love both of you guys cars:thumbsup:

Richio1 08-05-2013 09:19 AM

Yeah guys, they both look beautiful. Raj, quit holding out on us... We need to see a new, longer, better video with that Wagner motor winding up and screaming.

I went back through the entire thread last night and forgot about the 2 little teaser clips. I love that second one with the whistling blower. Music to my ears. Throw us a bone and share some love.

:thankyou:

Thanks Lenie! That was the plan but we had a baby boy less than a month ago and the wife was having none of that! Hopefully next year! I think I have said that for the last 3 years though... :lol: I will definitely get some sound clips this week!

Thanks Jeff! I love the sound of that blower too! I will get some video this week for sure! And I will try to use a better camera this time! Those other video clips I had Flowmasters and now I have the borla xr1's -- I am interested to see how big a difference there is outside the car.
