Hello SMD forum!

Everything won't be installed til mid march due to temperatures around here, just too damned cold here in Pennsylvania!

Anyhow I will be teaming up with Matt Hart (mhart here on the forums) to assist me with the build when it comes time.

As of now I have an IA Warden 15" driver (w/ dual 1.4 ohm voice coils), Sundown SAZ-4500D amplifier, two XS D3100's, an XS D2400 for underneath the hood, and a Mechman 220 amp alternator.

Originally I wanted to use the Stinger flat 3/0 gauge wire, but unfortunately they discontinued it. So I am going to be purchasing 100' of the Stinger HPM 1/0 gauge wire. I will be doing three runs from the front battery to the back battery. I will also be using the Stinger HPM 8 gauge wire for the speaker wire.

It will be a trunk build and the enclosure will be designed by PWK, the design plans are currently being developed.

I am also on the market for a good mid system set up since the current one in the car is completely stock......I just don't want the new subwoofer system to drown out the mids. I have heard some stuff about the ascendant audio carbon series? My car has two 6.5's in the front and two 6x9's in the back. I know a good bit about what subs are out there, but absolutely nothing about mids and highs. If somebody has any ideas for me feel free to shoot me a PM or just reply on here if you want. A budget of $500 should do nicely.

Will take more pictures of the car and the trunk when it gets nicer out where I live!

Good start.

Let's see some box pictures?

Box designs are currently being designed by Pete Kulicki of PWK designs, he is an acoustic engineer and is sure to come up with something that will bring out the best of the IA warden! Will definitely take pictures of the box once Matt and I start building it!

The build will be slow for now, but come time late February, early March, there will be lots of good stuff being posted on here! Just be patient with me :)

I am interested too, the Warden is a stout driver. The neodymium on the driver is a thing of beauty. When I was taking pictures of my current equipment the driver was about 6 feet away from my monitor and the screen was discolored from the magnetic field :)

GR8 equipment so far there are many different ways to handle your mid n hi's are you looking to fiberglass your doors or keep it stock .

From what I have saw, fiberglassing can get very expensive (so can car audio), but I am just looking to keep the doors stock and upgrade to some high end stuff. I forgot to mention that there are also two tweeters, one on each top right corner of the door, located at the bottom of the a-pillar. Do you recommend me any equipment? Please keep the equipment on par with quality concurrent with what I have been buying.
