You are correct in that Unique buys allot of premade stuff. There is nothing wrong with that but, if You have to rework it a little to get it to fit why not make it from scratch.
WE have a whole AC cold and filtered room with all our saws and routers etc. Every tool needed. We are getting ready to look into some CNC equip. as Our shop manager is certified. We are adding a dyno etc. You are right they do not do as much as You would think by hand.
The guy working with Us out of Raytheon does CNC right now. Our computer will fit in a box a little smaller than cigar box. We CNC the box and can leave polished or whatever. WE went with the idea of as small as possible with laptop parts since they are designed to withstand the tougher life of running around in the car and off roading. For the off roader We will make it with a minifan and a filter in the air intake.
WCC they are custmizers top notch.
WE will have MY 12" running by next weekend. But, We are not going to sell any until We have some out for a while in Our shop rides and a few other people helping. Once We have several units of each style running and no problems then they go on website and shows for sale.
Those of You in Vegas I should have My H2 there and Youcan see Our sub and overhead amp rack. Another group looked at it and said man that amp rack the way it is made is a several thousand dollar. The sub and rack setup is going to run around $5500 give or take with amps and 4 subs included. With the type of kit We are designing We would really hope customers would see the benefit of bringing the rig to us and letting us install. I would hate to see somebody blow up 6K because they are not quite sure about the wiring all though We will have detailed insrtuctions. We are gong to just let it find it's own path. With us being right in the middle of the USA it is not bad like coast to coast. That is one reason We have connections that some spord stars are going to come and give us a shot We hope so that they do not have to truck a rig 2 or 3 thousand miles. But if You have a brand You like We can alter them to fit what You want and the same with amps.
We have been putting Our heads together about what a setup complete with computer would cost and allot of it would be what You chose to have in PC but, it could be as high as $10,000 but, no crap equip. If We can not use the top end We do not want the job. there are to many of those guys running around right now. We will be having the opporunity farther down the road to have a shop in Miami in 2006 or 2007.
Well keep in touch and Blown is quality. he will do it right. That is why I mentioned I would not mind dropping My 7" line and selling hisas a dealer for Him. That would givve us more time on the 10" which i think is going to be real popular. When You see MY 12" 10" is going to bust open and the nice things about it is 10" requires almost no MODS to center dash and WE would ship that with screen in it with computer and directions as to how You need to move a few things.
HummerNewbie I would not mind at all if You would get Me in touch with the shop that has the skill to install. If We have a 2nd place in Miaimi it would work great to work with them now and later from Miami.
Thanks

Call West Coast or Unique and ask them for a computer as described by Blown and see what you get quoted.

I kind of doubt Unique could even do that. Have you seen Unique Whips on the Speed Channel? All I've got to say is I'm seriously not impressed with the work they do. All of their sub boxes are completely generic. And that marble type stuff they spray on consoles is so 90's. I'd be pissed if they did that to my truck. I've yet to see them do any advanced stuff on that show.
Now WCC on the other hand has basically proved they can put a kitchen sink in your car, literally. They've proved they can do anything and everything thing when it comes to cars. Although I think most of their stuff they do for PMR is kinda gay they do show they can do a ton.
WCC has been putting those computers in H2's since 03. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
