Progress on the Trunk
 

Was busy today, made a lot of progress on the trunk today, wiring is all ready for the T1500, speakers are all hooked up and sound great. Will probably add some decals to the back of the subwoofer box. Tonight I will take a picture when the etched plexiglass is lit up.



Had to make my own tweeter pod out of mdf with some black and grey carpet.

Damn man that looks sweet!! Did you etch the Plexiglas yourself or have it made for you?

Thanks, I made it, bought an air eraser to do it.

The 8000k HIDs

Good to go for the summer.
 

Added in the t1500, and DC subwoofer (purchased the last set of RCAs needed), added carpet to the subwoofer box, and slightly angled the one panel. Also removed the rockford fosgate windshield decal.

question
 

So one amp for the sub one for 6x9s?

The T1500 for the subwoofer and the t400-4 for 2 Infinity Kappas 6.5s in the front doors, 2 crescendo ft1 super tweeters and 2 crescendo pwx 6.5s.

Nice

Made some changes today. Cut-out the DC logo, router-ed the edges and wrapped it in black vinyl. Then cut-out a DC logo insert and painted that black/red and added red LEDs behind it. Will post some pics later at night to show to LEDs in action.

Very nice bud well done

X2 :agree: :thumb:

questions please
 

Is that a crossover between the two amps? Do you only have one battery? Could you get a shot of your distribution box? Finally do you use any kind of processors or just the head unit, amps, crossovers and speakers?

Yes, they are audio pipe crossovers from eBay. I'm using these so I can hook up multiple speakers to my t400.


Yes, I have the XS Power D3400 under the hood and no batteries in the trunk.


I'll post a picture up a bit later.


I currently don't have any sound processors but my get one in the future if I get more amps and speakers. For now, the deck and settings on the amp are good enough.

Here is the distribution block, it's a Knukonceptz KNF-60. I have a run of 0 gauge (power and ground) going in, and 4 gauge going to the amps.

nice thanks for the help
 

Awesome possum thanks bud :p I think my only issue is finding a block that's one in and 3 out. I was also going to go 0 gauge power and ground and maybe 8 gauge for the 3 amps since they will only be 45/150 100/300 and 500/1000 I think 8 should be ok shouldn't it?

8 gauge should be good enough, I had 8 gauge on my alpine mrp-m500 and it was fine.

Video from a couple weeks ago.

Also did this:

You have any issue or thoughts on pressure from sub or subs beating on the cone of the 6x9's?

As a side note hahah my alts right on top of the motor should be super easy to swap out for the HO coming. You have any issue with yours or is yours still stock?

The port is forward and close to being sealed from the trunk so there won't be an issue with the 6.5s.

I wish my alt was on top, I still have the stock one installed but I have the 250a singer alt waiting. Not sure if I want to attempt to change it myself.

Thanks wondering since my box is ported if I should consider leaving the 6x9 holes open and boxing the Kappa's. I wonder how much the pressure on the 6x9's might hurt them.

I think they can handle quite a bit of pressure before anything bad happens.

Thanks I don't want to damage them. This will probably be the last upgrade for me unless later I decide to throw some Polk's in the trunk. Damn Fry's is always having that sale for $150 and well I just might not be able For resist for ever lol.

dude how did u get these big pics up, im trying to do the same

trying to get those pics up of my installation and wont let me cause of size

Upload them to photobucket and copy the url image links into the posts.

Yup photobucket is what I use also. You can use thumbs too then when we click em they get bigger. Interested to see how things are going :<)

The twin arrived today, time to design a new box and seal off the trunk.

We should start a pool to see what the first part to rattle off is :p

Lol, my rear bumper is getting a bit loose on the sides, i'll have to keep an eye on it.

System Update
 

Rather than letting my other sub sit on a table, decided to take apart the front of my current box and change it up for 2 lvl 4s.

lmao!! good job Brandon!! those subs make that box look tiny hahaha!!!

The volume for two is the same as 1? How much power now the same or you get a different amp?

Same amp but it's wired to 1 ohm so I get a bit more power. The volume is half now so my tuning is around 40hz. It will be used as a temporary setup, or at least until the July 13th competition. 40hz= higher spl number

Sweet man. Where is this competition on the 13 th?

Ottawa boomfest

Sweet. I'll be deep in work that day unfortunately. Just found out its the Lindsay downtown's annual classics car show that same Sunday.... they're expecting 800 cars to full downtown. Can't afford to pass up the potential business that day!

Damn, 800 cars downtown, is there enough room for that? And ya, business should be really good that day.

Yeah it's a tight squeeze for sure! It's usually my second busiest day of the year but the last couple years they've let outside food vendors in so it's sucked. I got together with some of the other restaurants in downtown and complained so we'll see how this year goes! :)

No more 39hz, hello 31hz
 

Decided to make a new subwoofer box actually meant for two of these subwoofers. Around 2 cu ft. per chamber and tuned to around 31-32hz.

Looks good man!

Is that divider made of melamine or mdf? I'm thinking of doing that for mine but it'll be where the arms if the trunk come down in the wheel wells....
