That Loud Focus...USAlternators Hairpin, 4 DD 9515i's in a B pillar on 2 Soundstream XXX-15K's. Caps and Lithium Power. New vids


Recommended Posts

yeah no problem, ive owned a focus since 2007 and have had something like 6-7 different setups/boxes in them. my best luck has been port and sub up with mostly big boxes ( had to remove trim pieces to make fit and then smash my hands to put them back).

if you haven't yet try to find nightshade's build log for his focus. he got up to about a 155 with a pair of 12's if I remember right subs up port to the driver side.

Ok so we got a lot of work done on both cars this weekend but I am going to post up most pics of my friends car I am in the middle of finishing the box and I am waiting to finish it so I can post the pics as a series instead of posting up a ton of random pics. but we got my friends car up and running this weekend even though it is still far from finished. so here are the pics.

His new 4 channel. Soundstream DTR4.680. it Is discontinued but it puts out a ton of power and sounds clean doing so. I will be running the same amp as well.

Turned out well.

and we got the sub in. we were going to carpet the box but we will be building a new box soon so we just said screw it. there is also

a small scuff on the surround from the rear deck bottom cover. long story short one of the by nines fell from the rear deck which made the cover

sag and the surround rub on it. it still works perfectly fine though so for the winter it will stay like that. but we will recone it before the season begins

so it looks good at shows.

and here is where the port comes through.

So that's it for his car this weekend . I am goanna try and take more pics. but we got his car hooked up and it sounds amazing. the DTR feeds the mids and tweets so much more power. the highs are so loud and so clear. from a block away they still sound awesome and especially considering it is only 4 tweets (2 up front, 2 in the rear) and the pro by nines in front. we will be putting in some more pros in the rear deck soon. The TA3K is an awesome amp. its running at 1 ohm and at lower gain so its probably pushin 1500 rms. if anything a bit less and it sounds so good and so loud. it is so much cleaner than the TX1.2000 was. Soundstream has been stepping it up lately and to me this is proof. before this amp he had the tarantula nano 1200 and that amp was also amazing. anyways I may get a vid of it playing sometime this week so stay tuned for that. With everything cranked the lights don't dim at all. he has a stock 140 amp alt and the 3 batts (1 under hood, 2 in rear) and the electrical is strong. when we drop the TA3K to .5 and full power we will add another amp. Oh and also.......

I am so happy. we cut it down a bit and its looking good. once in finish it I will post up all pics of it as a series.

anyways we still have to clean up the wiring in the avenger and I have to finish my box. after that there is still a ton to do. for those who know car audio never ends. so stay tuned. lots more to come.

lol ya I know the stove isn't the best but it works. We actually have a torch just not the right nozzle so we need to get one. But ya nothin much has been happening with my car. In the meantime we have been working a lot on his. And its really not too crammed. We can easily fit a second unlike with my car. But we have tons of deadner on the trunk lid and the deck. We were thinking of doing 2 12's firing forward but with the way the metal trim is on the opening going into the cab it would have been tough. I think (and hope) you will like it when you hear it though. The sound of it really does blow me away.

the way the port is located it works really well. The air gets forced right into the cab. The box it is in is also a lot better than my old one. I think that's part of the reason why its so much louder.

its all about getting the sound waves and the air from the trunk into the car and if you have enough room for that, and your trunk lid can take it, then it will work. The lid on that car is pretty strong and it has 3 layers of dynamat. Lol its pretty heavy.

So here it is all the way on

WP_20131220_001_zpsa17a4fbe.jpg

So anyways that's it for my box today. once I get it painted I will get more pics. also even with the port trim in place you can still see some of the screws so today

we grinded them down. I will also get some pics of that. I will have some updates on the avenger in a bit.
