suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I love getting feedback on my setups so I'm gonna throw this up on here. The vehicle is an Infiniti QX4 and is mydaily driver. She has seen many different setups along the way. I will post up builds on what I have done and will include my current build underway. Doors and Pillars: I built these about 2 years ago, still in use today but the doors will deffinately change here shortly. She likes it sloppy. Skipped a bunch, sueded.. whole new door panel assembled and installed. - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 These were fun and a whole lot less work. Glassed. Primed. SEM Texture. Painted. I didn't like the paint when installed, so I later went back to a matte black. Installed. - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Batteries and Wires The quality of anything is only as good as its foundation. I still love to compete, so I went big. 4 runs of 1/0 ground, and 8 runs of 1/0 for power. Battery under hood is a Lifeline Group31. Custom fabbed Buss Bars. Money Shot.

suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Subwoofers and Amplifiers. I have ran many different subs in my days, and have absolutely fallen in love with Digital Designs. I have gone up the chain: 9015, 9515, 3510, and these 9917s. I held onto these and will put them to work in my current instal. They are custom build with full carbon fiber cones and were used previously by the one and only Steve Cook. They're a lil rough, but it gives them personality. They are straight up beasts. I had one running in 6.5 cubes with over 4kw and she loved every minute. They are very musical and extremely loud. - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 This is my first opportunity to run DD amps. I came across these and recieved amazing deals on each. Digital Design Z1 and Digital Design C3b Nudie shot. I do hate the fact they are not matching, the C3b is brand new, but the way I plan on mounting them they will work together and look as sexy as they are in their own way. - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Current Enclosure Build: This will be updated quite a bit as this is a work in progress. I have tried to stay away from walling this for a while, and am currently succeeding again. I am quite confident in my fiberglassing so I decided to do this. I masked off the areas I needed molds of. Doin' work. I only have one day a week to work on this, so I was focused on the matter at hand and not taking pictures so lets fast foward a bit. Molds trimmed and glassed into their new home. Had some extra resin so instead of making a hockey puck, I decided to coat the inside of the enclosure. After some generous calculations, the molds only take up 1.6 cubes but allowed me to have an extra 16" of width. I'll take that all day long. - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburban ant Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 This is where I'm at with my build. My day off is on Tuesday so expect some serious updates than, but tonight I still played around a little. She fits. My 10 year old atleast Concept mids amp, that amp has been thru every install and never missed a beat. This amp has been soaked with a 2liter of Sprite, thrown around, pinned up against seats, dropped, just straight up abused and keeps on tickin. I still may keep it just cause its a damn trooper. Measure twice, and cut once. Fully functioning rear seat. Checking fitment ideas, the amp will not go here, that area will be home to the port and batteries. I think she just wanted to get in the picture. They did too, the girls came out to check out their new home. I'm not a fan of inverted subs in most cases, I have had a installed in inverted subs before, but it looks pretty good like that. And thats where I will leave it for the night. Thank you for reading, all criticism welcome and encouraged. Check back for updates! - ANT - Infiniti QX4 - - 2 Digital Designs 9917s - - Digital Designs Z1 - - Digital Designs C3b - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc_audio Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 9917's are easily the ugliest subs DD ever made, I do not care for the basket and the motor is tiny so please don't run the them inverted. And is that a Z1a or a regular Z1? The regular Z1s blow like its their job, I bought a refurb once with all the issues corrected and it still had a loud thump upon turn on. I think I sold it to the chode, anyway I'm still watching this regardless because the 9917s are still very beast woofers and the Z1s put out some crazy power (when they are working anyway). Keep the pics coming! It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
