lunchbox.inc Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 that head unit idea is freakin awesome. i love that, thanks for sharing thanks man!! thats the whole point of forums like this! to share what we've done, and hopefully people like what we've done!! i'm glad people are liking what we've done out here! BUT i gt a couple of pics from a show the car was at the other night, was a great event but i had a few teething problems, subs surrounds letting go, as well as one of the amps letting it's magic smoke escape... but gear was replaced on the spot (lucky i had a spare amp available!) but i got a couple of pics! as well as another video!! this time it's of the windscreen letting go, i wasn't quick enough to actually film the screen 1st letting go, it all happened too quick, BUT you can see it getting worse, and all that awesome-ness... lol anyhoo! enjoy!! i hould have some more updates in the next day or so!

lunchbox.inc Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 so no one likes smashed windshield videos then? lol well after a few issues, i'm currently in the middle of stripping down the front stage, and making a start on the 3 ways for some extra essques! as well as cleaning up the cabin area and making that as presentable as possible... so far everything is going quite well! i should have some pics up for you all soon!! other than that i'm currently looking at some new woofers, being out here in Australia really doesn't help, as e don't have too many woofers capable of handling serious power, and those that do are geared more towards high tuned SPL, as opposed to what i need... i'm actually contemplating bringing some woofers out from the US, as the buy price is fantastic, but shipping is the real killer... especially considering the weight behind some of the more serious woofers... BUT so far i'm leaning towards Incrminator Audio - Death Penalties, what is everyones thoughts on these? i'd LOVE to get my hands on some DC lvl4/5s or some Surreal Innovations - J816 15"s... ideally i just want something people don't see everyday out here!! so please, give me your thoughts!! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchbox.inc Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 ok, well for a bit of an update on what i'm doing here, i'm basically in the middle of swapping out the tweeters in the 4x 6x9s co-ax's and running them as midbass only and adding 2" mids and 1" full bodied tweeters... for a semi-active 3way front stage... as this car is built to take on ALL the classes we currently run in Aus, DBdrag/Bass Race/MEASPL/MEASQ the last of which being Australias leading SQ format... so it needs to sound pretty damn good to have even the slightest hope, but hopefully we can achieve this!! on this note a quick background info is needed, when we did the original 12x 10"s build, we were on a super tight schedual to finish it in time for it's debut, so ALOT of things were rushed wit the final assembly and getting everything up and running, there was ALOT of less than perfect wiring done, but i must admit Eric, who came in at the last minute to help wire everything up did and INCREDIBLE job with what he was given, the issue wasn't with his workmanship, but rather with what he was given to work with, non-optimal wire lengths already assembles paneling etc, there was really alot to be desired, but time has come to fix all of this!! as it's been this way for the better part of 6months now, we've changed just about everything else in the car, so it's about time we got stuck into this one... so first up came the tear down and figureing out exactly what i'm doing and were this is going... this is how the floors originally looked, with the crossovers layed on top with all the wiring, not the neatest but it worked! also note that in this pic i'm currently sitting on the amp... lol the the original doors with "some" deadening on them, all the service holes were originally filled, but when i changed to the 4x 6x9s i decided to open them up as much as possible, so alot of the deadening was removed and then i added some more! this OptionAusio deadening is quick thick and heavy, but i decided not to go TOO crazy with the deadening as the inner door skin is THAT flimsy it's not funny, adding more deadening wasn't really worth it... in this pic you can see the false floors/amps/speaker cables out as well as the Dash binicle, i've got something special in plan for the dash, as well as the center console/heater controls area, but more on that one later you can also see the factory 4" locations on top of the dash we'll be modifying to suit the new 2" mids... so now with the 6x9s being run as just midbass the crossovers have gone, so now the cable requirements are near on non-existant, as the 4ch will be running @ 2ohm on channels 1&2 (2x 6x9s per channel) i only needed to run 2 pairs of speaker cabling into the doors, it made for some nice neat wiring! the 2x runs of cabling for the mids/tweeters will be be run seperately and has yet to be run... as you can see i'm also holding down the cable with strips of sound deadener it works quite well!! (thanks to FHRX for the idea) BUT this is basically where i'm at now... more updates soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
