broadz Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi guys, this is my '09 Jeep Patriot (Right Hand Drive Diesel). I bought the car as a decent base for my planned system I wanted to install. As i'm more interested in sound quality than all out SPL or ground pounding the system was designed and installed primarily with sound quality in mind. I was almost going to buy a Nitro, but the patriot is far better value and less common Interior: Headunit: Clarion HXD2 Front speakers: Morel Supremo 6 set Rear speakers: OEM Amplifiers: 2x Rockford T1500BD (1800w RMS x2) .2x Rockford T400.4 (200w RMS x4) Subwoofers: Orion XTR Pro 10 Exterior: Bling Kit... chrome door handles, mirrors and PATRIOT lettering for the bumper cutout. 22 inch wheels and tyres Wheels: 22inch Diablo Elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadz Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Headunit: Clarion's flagship headunit, the HXD2. 4 pairs of Audison Connection RCAs deliver the signal to the system's amplifiers. Because each speaker runs from it's own amplifier channel, i can feed each speaker with 250w RMS of pure clean power. Clarion Ipod kit and external DVD player are also used as additional sources. Amplifiers: I have an aluminium/steel amp rack under each seat; containing a pair of Rockford Fosgate mono/4 channel each side. The passenger side amps run the passenger side speakers and sub, the drivers side amps run the drivers side speakers and sub. Each four channel amp is bridged to run as 2 channels with power output around 250w RMS each speaker driver (250w rms each tweeter and 250w rms each midbass driver). Having a left and right hand amp setup allows me to achieve pure stereo separation as the left side amps power supply is different to the right hand side amps power supply, so there is no chance of a mono or mixed signal to be amplified and confuse the sound stage. The amps are mounted to perspex and is lit up using white LED lighting Midbass: Morel's finest, the Morel Supremo 6 midbass' have been used. Morel suggest a 12 litre sealed enclosure for optimum performance. Phatt Audio Concepts (my installer) removed both doors and trims, and fabricated sealed enclosures between the door trim and the door cavity. The is a sealed chamber behind the woofer and another sealed chamber beside the door map pocket. These chambers are linked very an mdf duct. Total capacity is close to 12 litres. Enclosures are made out of a combination of mdf, fiberglass and dynamat. Both doors are extensively treated with Dynamat to try and kill any rattles. The mids have been extensively angled to try and achieve better "on axis" upper midrange response i was previously lacking. Midrange: no midrange yet installed. There will be a Morel CDM88 3 inch dome midrange installed in my mirror sail panels if i cant get the car to stage correctly. This is a last resort method if I cant get it tuned correctly. Tweeters: Morel's finest, the Supremo Picollo tweeters have been carefully grafted into the existing tweeter locations on top of the dash. Phatt Audio Concepts have plastic welded these in place and are finished in original texture plastic and painted the same as the original panel. It looks OEM fitted. There is a single white LED highlighting each of them. Subwoofers: Originally, a slot tuned enclosure was fabricated to suit a pair of JL Audio 8W7s. This enclosure was covered in matching carpet and the internals lined with white carpet with white LEDs highlighting the impressive looking baskets and DUB emblem etched in glass. After plaing with Street A and managing average 143s, I felt like a bit of a change in the form of more cone area and better voice coil configuration. A pair of Orion XTR PRO 10 dual 2 ohms were purchased and modifications to the existing enclosure were performed. Luckily the enclosure requirements were almost identical between a pair of JL8W7's and Orion XTRPRO10. Lighting: HID lighting kits installed and i have replaced all external lighting and interior lights with white LEDs. Undercar white LED/Neon kit to be fitted. LED lighting fitted to light up foot wells Interior: My patriot has undergone full transformation to Dodge Caliber SRT4. SRT4 seats foams have been fabricated and extra trimming here and there gives that slight upmarket feel. Raw plastic panels have been trimmed and/or flocked in original colours Door enclosures are actually 12litre sealed enclosures which work much the same as a subwoofer box for my front midbass speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broadz Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks guys, yeah steve the G5 box Jamie and I built and tim trimmed. Yeah, the W7s each had a 1500 but as they are only 3 ohm, each would only see 500-700w RMS. By moving onto the Orion XTR Pros, I was able to gain more cone area and the ability to utilise the birthed 1800w RMS per amp for each sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
