ok so couple questions i see u are doing kicks are you just sealing the speaker in the kick? if so how much airspace are you giving them? you do know even mids require certain amount of airspace. secondly since you are using ID and you KNOW i know my ID. how much airspace are you giving those subs? you got D2's? how do you plan on wiring the subs up to the amp? what ohm load? on the door speaker how far away is the speaker from the door? you do realize that if you leave a gap between the speaker and the panel it won't sound right? if you look at the factory speaker you'll see they had a spacer so that the sound from the speaker is directed towards the grill and not just firing into the door panel itself
|
couple more questions. how are you aiming the mids? what freqs are you sending where? i noticed you got the req 5 and the dsp
|
Not a req 5 plus the req and clean sweep are not needed. The stock unit has a nice flat low output signal that people recommend to use. 1 cubic foot per sub for the subs the first time I made the box I really did not know the math. Plus I suck at math but after I got a friend to look it over and how me what the correct size was. I trimmed it down. They will be running at 2 ohms as the amp is not stable at .5 ohms. The mids are aimed towards the driver in both cases and the fiberglass i seled. I understand they look small but there is plenty of space towards the lower end of the enclosure.
|
so you have both mids aimed at the driver? what you may think is plenty of space to a mid may not be. most mids are designed to be ran IB in a door or if its in a kick the kick has to be fabbed a certain way so that there is enough air space in it for the mid. Have you contacted the company to see how much air space is needed for that mid yet?
|
LOl no man and I do not plan to. Plenty of people run speakers in fiberglass pods. I do not see where there will be any problem. Plus mids like to have an enclosure they are not made to use an entire door as there box or enclosure.

Sub box in and got the rca's wired to the proper wires.

matter of fact why dont' you do a lil test. build yourself a lil sealed box make it as small as possible. bout wat u think that kick is then listen to it. then build a bigger one and do the same thing. i promise you'll hear a huge difference.
and if you don't have the stuff to build a small and larger box. take a plastic bucket or bowl and glass it to make it stiffer and do that. |
You really do need more space for the kicks than that, i told you to put them in the door and go low with the midrange.

Cmon matt, always do the more difficult kick first. what if its not possible to image that mid the same as the right and now you have no option?
|
Yes Mike I worked on them today, will be done tomorrow.
Routed all the speaker wires to the trunk http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1817.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1816.jpg Re did the false floor http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1813.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1814.jpg Tonight I did wire everything up for a audio test. Sounds amazing plenty of bass as well as crystal clear highs. Tomorrow I will sand primer and paint the pods and intall them. Still to do: Install rear camera Paint and permanently install the pods Wrap the sub box and floor install the plexi and neon lights |
Simply put man, SICK keep up the great work. Take your time and do it right "as you are doing"

Today has been a bit busy, my father was suppose to deploy for Iraq today but after getting there and waiting 2 hours they had to delay it until tomorrow. Just got back home and will try to get a few things done today even though 5 hours was killed. Just a bit off subject but here is me and him.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...0321101017.jpg |
To be honest did not get much done today. Between this morning and having to study for a math test tomorrow coming back from spring break, I got a few things done.
Got the left kick panel started and the right one starting the paining. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1818.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1819.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1822.jpg Mounted the fuse block http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1825.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1826.jpg |

Yesterday and today starting to finish things up.
Power wire ran http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1827.jpg iPod cables ran, one is for video and audio the other is for just audio and can be controlled threw the head unit. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1828.jpg Left kick panel going to require some work but will get it done. The hood release and all is a pain to work around. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1830.jpg Wrapped the right panel. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1829.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1831.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1832.jpg Just a note the metal grill will be put overtop of the speakers. |
Got the mat laid on the left panel today will sand it bondo and carpet it.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1833.jpg The trunk got wrapped, the top lip where the indent starts will be shaved for the plexi glass. That is why the carpet there is not defined cleanly. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1834.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1835.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1839.jpg |
Worked on the kick panel yesterday, going to clean up with some more bondo and sanding. than wrapped. The trunk and hod release are difficult to work around.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1840.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1841.jpg |
Tomorrow the car will be returned, getting a full detail before it leaves and a final tuning. The plexi glass when it arrives I will come and install it at his house.
|
Got the dice harness wire re ran for analog audio.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...100_1843-1.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...100_1842-1.jpg Wrapped the left kick and trimmed out for the release button and hood release. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1844.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1845.jpg |
Had a quick idea for the bass control knob.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1846.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1847.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/100_1848.jpg |
Worked on the trunk today, a few rattles when the bass hits.
http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/IMG_0013.jpg Expandable foam http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/IMG_0026.jpg http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/IMG_0025.jpg |
He was very happy with the car, very impressed with the audio aspect of it as well "as was I". In two weeks he will drop off the kick panels and the door panels for the speakers to get molded into the doors for more foot room.
