Agreed - they're a nice touch. Were you able to use the factory tires?

tnx guys. The tires are not standard. The rims are 15-inch 6,5j. And tires are 185 x 55 x 15. because the standard 14-inch wheels are too small.
after a long time its needs a update. my blue space star is no more (sold)
The 2013 model is sold in 2014. I bought a new one in 2014. i have that model for 3 years now. Some things are changed like audiosystem. Car is lowered with lowering springs (the original springs are too soft). The rims and tyres these are taken from the previous car.
Audio upgrade, stock speakers removed, for the front: compo Hertz mlk165.3, and for the rears: Hertz ECX 165 Coaxial. But you need MDF rings for install otherwise the speaker will not fit. And you need cut some metal for the speaker for the hole. as you can see in the pictures, there is some damping material installed for the sound quality + an Hertz ebx 250 subbox 10 inch subwoofer for the lower frequencies. Its all installed on the stock radio.
The stuff i used: Hertz mlk165.3 compo with mdf rings, Hertz ECX 165 Coaxial System with mdf rings, Hertz EBX 250 Subbox, Hertz HDP5 amp mounted on mdf

Wow - that's an impressive installation. Thanks for the pictures.
I am curious to know how the amp was wired.

Thanks. I am not that technical to install audio installations. I had it done by a specialist. The wires are 100% copper, thats what i know. The only problem what i have, the amp needs some tweaking. Mostly is the bass too hard, and what i want is that the bass is balanced with music that you can hear the mids and high very good. Is here someone that have a good tutorial for setting up amplifier, because i cant find a proper tutorial how you setup a amp, most era outdated etc... The music what i listen is a variation from trance, Hip hop, drum and bass, hardstyle.
Here's the product Web page:
HDP 5 D CLASS FIVE-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
There is a link to manuals that explain settings and adjustments to help you set it to your liking. It looks like a nice kit with a fair amount of adjustments. Fiddle with the settings to find what you're after.
I hope this helps.
P.S. If you are interested, would you be willing to post your switch settings and what wiring terminals are used in your amp? It would be fun to learn how yours is set up and even try to change those settings.

Get a remote volume knob. It only affects the bass. Ide never have a sub without one

After a long time I decided to replace the radio. im done with the stock radio. i must everytime changing the bass level on the radio, because radio don't have sublevel setting or crossover settings. Today the radio will be replaced for a Alpine ILX702 radio. And about connection, its now High level connected from radio to amp and that will be changed to RCA and Remote cables to amp. Because the new radio i can change the sublevel and other settings like eq or crossover. And its more compatible with my Iphone (carplay).
