Door Upgrade

[bizzy07]

That is going to be crazy loud! I have 2 6.5's in each door and it almost hurts to listen to them at full tilt.

You are not going to be able to close your doors if the way I'm looking at it is right. The edge of your pods closest to the dash is gonna interfere.

The work involved in sanding that bish out will kill a person. Your gonna have to glass the hole thing to. If you think just the pod area you are wrong. Unless you find a way to attached it with fasteners.

Mine looked good for most the summer. Until the glass broke free from the door panel...

You guys are wimps, lol!! Glass is the way to go.. it's not THAT much work if your layup and filler spreading skills are adequate.

the baffle was just set on top of the door panel just to show it. there was enough room cut to where it will still close on the dash. and if it doesnt for some reason, it is wood lol

Ok, baffles are wrapped in vinyl, all ready to be attached. hopefully done in the next week or so.

So i have the sony amp which is a 4 channel, but im not exactly sure how this wiring will work out
currently 8 drivers total. 6 speakers 2 tweeters. (8ohm speakers, 4ohm tweets)

This is how i was thinking of wiring it. is there a better configuration then this? im open to all input.
Channel 1
Both tweeters

Channel 2
Speakers 1, 2

Channel 3
Speakers 3,4

Channel 4
speakers 5,6

That's a great setup for MONO

You're gonna want to use two channels for the 'tweeters' - left and right.
Ditto for the 'speakers'. So now you've used all four channels with a huge load balancing issue, 1 tweeter vs. 3 speakers per side. Not to mention the rears at all....

Maybe just get another identical amp so you're using one for each side?

Updates?

[MattismodderX]

well i have it all hooked up. its just sitting all over the seats xD. 2 6.5s on the front seat and 4 between the back 2. tweets up front as well to provide better sq. my right ear might explode soon. passneger side door panel is now useless. was gonna fiberglass it but then some1 broke it trying to close it. no now i need a new one of them. drivers side front spring is broken. sounds amazing tho! haha

EDIT: oh! and i forgot. my one buddy who was helping me build the original wood baffles but busted by the feds for certain things and when his garage was raided the cops destroyed the vinyl wrapped baffle that was ready to go in....bastards. so then i decided fiberglass would be a better option rather then going back to step 1 again. but then panel broke. etc.etc. now i need a new passenger door panel

Junk yard time!

I just bought panels with switches for $20 each.

[MattismodderX]

well. FML

sub is blown to hell. was running it off the one voice coil for a good while now on about 600rms (2000rms sub). this thing was a monster and always sounded clean/sharp. never abused it, but the other day it stopped working. my buddy hooked it up to the multimeter and it read 46ohms. when he pushed the cone in it read .2 and .3 ohms. no idea wtf is wrong with it. time to sell the motor and get a new setup x_x. 1 door speaker got blown due to careless friends effing around. 2 more are slightly damaged. center cap pushed in = fail

[Cashdollar2009]

Sorry to hear about all of this.

Why were you running it off of one voice coil though?

[MattismodderX]

the terminal got knocked loose when i was taking it out of the box (the fker is heavy) and i glued it back on but i guess it came loose and touched the basket- which then fried the one side's tinsel

[cherrington17]

mo equip mo problems.

Yanno Bill can rebuild it for you- he built it in the first place.

[Cashdollar2009]

You need to quit playing around: http://www.dcsoundlab.com/woofers.html

Or buy mine. Fresh recone 3 weeks ago!

That's was running the subs as such:


After taking the video I threw the dmm on it and got a 2.2ohm reading outside the box. (The tinsels snapped on one side completely.) So therefore I was running "half the sub." Not technically, but without going into detail, it was seeing 1.2 to 1.4k in the video... The recone came in, which had bad glue on it from the shop and when I did the recone the cone tore from the spider. After calling in and bsing witht he owner he explained the situation, then sent me another recone with epoxy joints and 4 spiders! Just did the recone three weeks ago and I'm loving it. I'll have to get a new vid on the net. Hence my signature, I got some goodies that'll be in Friday. It's completely different now...

Anyways Matt, sorry to threadjack a bit. But really, DC Audio ftw. If interested I can pm you a price. (Honestly) Hope stuff gets figured out man.

bill didnt build that one. it came from out of state apparently. bill sold me the box

ive been browsing car audio classifieds and 400 goes a long way there. gonna save up and wait for a sweet deal

[billytheman1188]

LOL....as soon as i saw the pics of the speakers in the boxes i thought "this could only turn out bad..." and what happened? door panel broken, speakers damaged, sub effed up, and no pics of the finished product.....guess i was right
