zeppyrkr Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Been working on this little project for the past couple days. *note this is budget (its a recession) nothing mind blowing Car - 2003 Mazda Protege ES Sub - Alpine Type R 10" 4Ohm DVC Amp - Kenwood 8105D - 500RMS at 2Ohm Custom sealed wedge box ~ .7 cubic ft. filled with fiberfill Head Unit - Kenwood KDC-X994 Pics The Sub Box and Sub, Unmounted Close up of the 8 gauge direct connection between the amp and sub Installed, Back seats Close Up And even closer. Notice i had to turn the sub 90 degrees because the sub was mounted so low in the box and it wouldn't fit right because of the speaker wire. Thanks for looking!

zeppyrkr Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) ^^^ that Really i tried both ways and it felt like I was losing sound out the back that way, there is no sound deadening. It was louder from the outside with it that way tho. I'll switch it around again the next time I feel like rewiring it, thanks for the suggestions. Im not a complete noob I know that most ppl face subs to the real especially sealed and its suppose to be louder. This sub is not for SPL in any means, my woman has already been yelling about the bass lol Next step is well firstly getting my X994 back in once i get it back (had problems with the first one, waiting for the RMA) I have some DDCS-6.5 coming soon which will be powered by my power acoustik 110w x4 amp for the time being. Will update once these things are done. Edited March 25, 2011 by zeppyrkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Got my Kenwood X994 head unit installed (first one kept resetting itself back to demo) this one works perfect and damn does it sound good. I've tended to cheap out on decks in the past and go for a feature heavy deck with a small price tag. I had no idea how much a difference a good sound quality deck makes. The X994 is amazing and I can't believe the sound coming out of my stock speakers! I'm hesitant to even upgrade them at the moment lol but i have some DD CS 6.5 coming next month so I'll post back once those are in the car. Thanks for looking i know this isn't a mind blowing build lol so i appreciate those who respect us cheap bastards.

zeppyrkr Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Update ive changed a few things. HU - Kenwood X994 Fronts - Massive Audio RK6 Rears - Alpine Type S Sub - Alpine Type R Sealed Enclosure Speaker Amp - Power Acoustik PS4-1200 (2x 250w 4Ohm) Sub Amp - Boston Acoustics GT2125 (1x 600w 2Ohm) Pictures. Door Deadening (edead) RK6 With Custom 3/4 MDF Bracket, Boom Mat Baffle From a distance Drivers Side Crossover Mounted, wires hidden and fed through door. Power Acoustic Amp Under Drivers Seat Power acoustic amp with seat back Boston acoustics amp. Sub now facing rear Im in the process of selling the sub and box and getting either a new single 10 or 12, we'll see what happens. I'm looking for some advice as well, since I'm not amping the rear speakers the deck naturally plays them louder than my RK6. I am bypassing the X994s amp (DSP bypass) which takes away all the eq and crossover settings so i cant adjust the rears at all! Should i just up the gain on my speaker amp, i guess better than that i should probably set them with my dmm(currently the gain is set on the low end. Thanks for looking.

zeppyrkr Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Have an order coming from Sonic. 1. SHURiKEN SK-BT20 (Small Battery, comparable to 100 Farad cap) 2. Tsunami TSBT-PN (Battery Terminals) Can finally put my 0 gauge to use and do the big 3! My system is dropping volts to low 13s, ive hit high 12s every now and then. It seems my crappy speaker amp is causing more voltage drop than my sub amp which seems weird to me although the RK6s pull some bass out of that thing. Should I have both amps power off the SK-BT20 or just the sub amp. The battery will be in the trunk directly next to the sub amp, speaker amp is under drivers seat. Anyways I'll report back once I get those things installed. Just got an email that my school has oscopes that I'm able to rent out, sweetness!!
