[Holden SS Commodore - Team Pioneer Stage 4 build]

Cheers guys, I'm from Melbourne. I'll try find some pics of the excel to post up.

And I like the VR shape, but my vn ss is may baby. That's getting fully rebuilt though and will end up with a nitrous 383 stroker but that's a while off yet.

Cheers EVL-100, yeah needs to be more people from Melbourne doing big builds, ah well on that topic hears some others I have done or helped with.....

And wat did you move onto if you dont mind me asking?

After this it was time to connect it to the battery and mount the fuse holder, then we had POWER.....

After this it was headunit in, and why not some autometers at the same time.....

Headunit was easy, however the pillars weren't, because of all the dust i only have one shot and that was of the test fit before trimming.....

And then thats a short run down on how it all came together, thanks for looking!

Finally after all the neatening up after these pics I could fit the amp rack to the car and make the trim rings.....

After this I had to fit the stainless braid for the subs.....

And then hook up the LED lighting on the amp rack.....

Then it was time to wire up the amp rack, there was a lot of cable in this thing.....

Next I made a false floor and started with the amp rack.....

　

Next it was on to the fun bits like running all the cables.....

So that left me with a bare boot and with all the gear purchased it was a matter of deciding how it was all gonna get laid out.....

Next I built the sub boxes which are 1 cuft sealed per sub.....

And also got the amp stands sorted and laid out.....

So on to the build pics.....

First off this is the old system.....

This set up consisted of a Pioneer DEHP80RS headunit, Pioneer TSC171PRS splits running active, Clarion DPX2251 amps x2 and a Clarion DPX11551 running a Memphis PR15.

This was a pretty sweet set up for daily tunes but the time came to get serious for the SQ comps. So that's when the new install was about to start.

Just another pic of the car while I upload some of the build photos.....

Thanks again, I do have a couple of build pics but not many as it was all completed fairly quickly and with a bit of Jack Daniels so photos werent really on my mind at the time haha.

Cheers guys, I forgot to mention but I guess you probably gathered I'm from Australia haha. I'll get some build pics up as well as some night time pics as the perspex under the amps looks great at night.

As for the headunit I love it, it is an awesome bit of gear. But as was said if you werent competing in SQ comps or planning on running a 3 way active front stage I would probably stick to something like a deh-80prs, all the tuning features without the 4 way crossovers. As for the sound its goes great, I compete in expert class at out national MEASQ competitions and although the setup is new it has done quite well so far.

I do have a daily tune and comp tune though and with the daily tune the subs get down nice and low for two little 10's, and the splits go very loud with HEAPS of midbass.

This is obviously an older version of the current Holden VE Commodore, which is your Pontiac G8. After having a few SPL systems, my best one in a Hyundai Excel that featured 5 x 12" subs, 18,000w RMS and hit a best of 154.5db on music, it was time for a change so here is my SQ system in my daily driver.
