Finally got time to work on my install! (56k warning)

[rec01l]

Heres my progress so far on my ICE, 99% down with the boot, need my other stiffening cap and the last amp to power the 12". The door pods need to be redone, not happy with em. and i should really clean the interior cos its all dusty and crap.

The boot over all:

And before any one says it no im not worried that people will come and steal this stuff cos its all secured nicely with a few tricks ive picked up, so youd have to take the whole car, 5pt immobiliser and sat tracker and all :P heh

very impressive! I am doing a somewhat similar install in my best mates maverick atm. And we are also using the jaycar response amps. Dollar for Dollar they rock!

[Rogg]

Jesus, thats massive.

Where are you going to put all the stuff that u need to fit in your boot now tho??? ;)

[Subbie RS]

nice man,looks good

[RSKY]

not sure how you've attempted to wire in your capacitor but from you pictures it looks like you've run the power from the battery through it and to the amp.

it may work i'm not sure but i'd suggest this method to get the most out of it.

also a cap works best if it's close to the amp, like no more then 1 foot

:shock:
Very impressive.
They'll hear you coming from WA :wink:

[rec01l]

thanx for the response guys, RSK that cap isnt actully connected at the moment as im waiting for its brother, the cables are there to kinda guage where itll all go but thanx for the tips. And rogg there is still plenty of room in the boot for...um... small items, but id rather them in the back seat than in the boot, nothing brightens your day more than an errant screwdriver through a sub!

He only has a turbo to keep the engine spinning when the bass notes hit!

[paddo]

looks nice. you've really sacrificed alot of boot space!

how hard was it to retrim your door trims btw?

[Elliot KB]

my god ..

you have gone mad with power....... volts and amps

little corny joke there

looks good mate.. how is the quality of the sound??
does it rattle much?

[Mickey]

Nice work dude!

Are you going to enter sound offs with it?

[rec01l]

Pads, im not sure how hard it was to do the doors, they guy who owned it before me did it, said it wasnt easy though (hollah at ya clint)
Elli the sound quality is great, i really do like the sound stream, they are really clear and the tweeters arent too bright. The door subs also add some from sub stage which really adds a bit to the over all coverage of sound.
And rx man im not sure, ill have to see how it sound with the 12" powered up. the 2 10's are great as it is though so maybe!

And also note, the spare tyre is still in there and can be acessed easily by lifting the board with the eq on it!

[Marty]

who tuned you're EQ? it looks like you've scooped out alot of low-mids which is precisely the place that a lot of car stereo's fall down (lots of thundering bass, and high end tweet, but not a whole lot in the 250hz-800hz range)

again i guess a smiley face eq's fine for some street cruising and thumping etc..

[rec01l]

smidgy i tuned it myself, took me hours to do it and i still fiddle with it all the time. The reason i cut alot of the mid range out is because the EQ controls just the front stage. I find the soundstream 6x9's are fairly bright in the higher midrange and with the front splits adding to it it sounded really crap. Ive still gotta try and find a happy medium changing the alpines internal eq etc but as im sure u know this takes alotta time and an enthusiastic ear!

[Marty]

good to see your playing with it anywya! its definately not easy to make two different speakers sound good together using the same piece of air (ie. your door!) but at least with an EQ you've got a fighting chance... nice work!

[liberty2nv]

Good Job Man! The 12" is a very nice addition as is the equaliser! The stereo might actually cancel out the noise that HUGE Zorst u have makes!!

[BloMeB4]

I love it! that'll sound so wicked. If i had the time, i'd set my wags exactly like that! especially the Map GPS Monitor!

i recond that'll sound soooo clear!

Thats a huge thumbs up from me http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I like how the tweeters are mounted in the door trims. :)
