SkylarDunn Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, just picked up this little gem on sunday, figured i'd show you what i have done so far. plans are: Front stage: 92dB efficient (+/-2dB) mid/bass 4" in dash with 80-100hz FS. tweet mounted in dash. mid mounted in door panel. (but forget effiency if the drivers dont have a decent response curve) Rear stage: To be determined Sub stage: 2 12"s - 1 15" - 2 15"s all dependin on budget. 4th order bandpass with at least 40hz f3 before it gets put in the vehicle. 2k or 3.5k. all crescendo of course. (you should see the metal on the car, if you knock on it, it already sounds dampened, germany doesnt mess around. hand built cars FTW! Electrical: factory alt for head unit and factory systems, high output CS130 or 2 regular old 120 amp CS130s. going with them for replacability, can get one at any junkyard for $50. atleast 300ah reserve capacity in battery bank in trunk. planning on doing a 1.2" drop in the font, doing the shocks and struts with something decent (monotubes or something) and letting the system drop the rear end. anything else is TBD. for deadener i might go with audio technics if i cant get a job, and can only pay for this by doing odd jobs. im getting tired of local businesses never getting back to me, even mcdonalds wont hire me, FML lol. enough chatting, i know what you want. PICTURES! Thats when i got her. she was sittin for a year. lets just say some thieves made alot of work for me! so worth it tho.

SkylarDunn Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) i guess now i want to do 1 15" or 2 12"s actually, for room reasons. amps will be in the side panels. i want heavy low end, so im more than likely going with: http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=693 Just crunched some numbers, and it looks like a 1/1 ratio 4th order (3ft^3~3ft^3) tuned to 43 hz with 100in^2 of port mouth should give it a decent response curve, with a perfect-world F3 of about 26.5hz.
