..makes you wanna bust out the "how you doin?" like Joey from F*R*I*E*N*D*S eh?

 

Where did this thread go?

 

Hehe, good question

 

this thread just did a little "detour"... i think everyone got distracted by ivyrose's.. ummm... presence. :D

 

Nice sub set up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!














Ivyrose looks kinda like Aaliyah

 

agreed.....sweet....sweet....install.....

 

i was looking for this and couldnt find it... beautiful install. i think this is gonna be the first thing i do to my car (after cz 1.1)

 

Looking good. I especially like the install you did on the amp. Very clean. How's it sound with 6.5", are they big enough to hit the low, lows? Also how many watts per speaker are you running?

 

great looking setup. nice way to make use of that space.

 

i think it sounds great, crystals are simply superb for midbass, the doors hit cleanly down to 50hz or so

i a pretty sure its llumar 20 percent all around...

keep in mind the light and camera angle makes a difference in the way hte tint looks in picture...

Totally amazing. I want one! Very clean install.

 

Hey 16psibrick...if you get some time, can you post some plans or a little more detail in how you did the speaker enclosure...i have been trying to figure out where i was going to put my subs...and i love your design...

 

well, here is a simple version...

i took the stock pieces, spearated the two pieces that make up this covering piece. and then cut back piece that contains the lock and pocket out a bit so it only contained the top and bottom, and not he pocket in the middle.

then i heavily fiberglassed the piece with about 5 layers of fiberglass matt, and then used 3 additional layers of dampening.

then i carefully measured a space of an enlcosure that can fit int he cavity between the two rear seats and then fiberglassed this enclosure to the back of afreomentioned stock front piece...

and then its s imple matter of putting hte subs in...quite a bit of work to get things right but its not too bad...

personally, it hink with a bit more work< i can figure out an enclosure for a simple kicker s8l7 and still allow you to loose almost no trunk space...but involves fully modifying the front face of hte enclosure

b

 

I believe the audio signals are amplified at each speaker...did that cause any issues for you? Or were you able to get a clean feed before the amps? BTW: do you happen to have the schematics?

 

sorry no schematics, but i took the audio signal for the rear speakres after hte bose amp and fed it into the kicker amp, and ran all new speakre wires to the front speakres...

I love it. Must be loud as H3LL in there. !

 

I can't view any of the pics

 

This setup kicks asssssssss............

My only thing is I already have 2 Phoenix Gold 12s from my older car which I KNOW won't fit but looking at this setup makes me jealous to my core.

What is the rule of thumb with the setup you have and the trunk, same size speakers, which develops more thump?

How good are those 6.5" I mean I don't need competition but I love my bass.

 

hey what size of subs are they? 10"

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you have read the posts you would know that are 2-6.5" speakers. The size have been stated several times.

It is a nice setup, been thinking of trying this in my 09, I am just reluctant in cuting anything in my car lol.

 

Holy Bump Batman

 

Damn I'm Thinking of putting this on my to do list for next yet This way I can actually mount my spare tire rack and have SUBWOOFERS

 

WOW!!! Really nice looking 16psibrick! This is what I've been wanting for a long time, but didn't know it . . . wish I had found this post when it was new.
Why did you enclose the subwoofers instead of just venting to the trunk? Wouldn't that make the install a lot easier? Also that should improve the really low bass response, or have I forgotten all of my acoustics? What user controls did you run up front (if any)? Are the speakers wired in parallel or do you have separate left and right feeds for each one? (I only see one pair of 16 awg.wires in the pictures) Did you need to modify the console attachment in any way or was it solid enough with all of the fiberglass and dampening?
