New sound system & exhaust

DougEFresh3031 · 06-21-2009, 12:40 AM

Took a couple pictures of my newest setup. I also put in a couple pics of the interior and borla exhaust I installed. Let me know what you think.

Very nice. You should upload a video so we can hear how it all sounds.

Random, where did you get your shift knob from?

crackakam · 06-21-2009, 03:05 AM

DougEFresh3031 · 06-21-2009, 03:28 PM

Interesting sub install. I had never seen one like that. How does it work?

DougEFresh3031 · 06-22-2009, 03:17 PM

basically the subs i have need a huge box so instead of making one i inverted them using my hole car as a box

DougEFresh3031 · 06-22-2009, 03:18 PM

Thats incorrect.

The Box they are mounted to is still the box and will still determine the characteristics of the subs.

If you havent done it yet you should by now... You need to swap the + and - around. Otherwise your subs are running "out of phase". So in essence you need to run them backwards as you mounted them backwards.

Now what you did do is give a little more volume to the box. As the subwoofers structure does take up air space.

So would this be what the phase switch on crossovers that says 0 and 180 is for?

How the hell do you close your seat backs? When I did three amps I had to take the plastic piece off that sits over the rear deck. Looks good though.......I would get rid of those shoulder cushions...LOL Keep up the good work!

Yes its the same effect as swapping the + and - around.

worknprog.99 · 06-22-2009, 10:02 PM

looks tacky with seats down all the time? but then again your windows look dark

DougEFresh3031 · 06-22-2009, 11:28 PM

tacky thats your opinion...i dont like the look with the seats up

DougEFresh3031 · 06-22-2009, 11:29 PM

plus im not a taxi service that transports people around so why would i need back seats

colonel6632 · 06-23-2009, 05:08 AM

That looks like a pretty sick setup you have going there...

Not sure why you have that cap. On a system like that, I dont think that cap would be doing anything.

Very nice setup, fairly clean. I bet those subs pound quite hard. Looking forward to seeing your DB readings.
