93 Jeep Sahara Old School Soundstream / Eclipse / Kenwood Install

[jmilch]

My dad bought some OS Soundstream Granite Pro 8" subs from me.

He also bought a Eclipse EA3422 Amp from me. They went together nice.

So he came by and asked me to build a setup for him. He wanted more bass, but he wanted more of a mid bass driver system. "No thumping crap" but "good sounding, extra low end my 6x9's don't produce well".

So I designed a box for the back of his jeep, fitting between the rear hatch and the rear seat. The amp is located underneath the back seat.

Each sub gets .75 ft^3 after displacement, and it is lined with poly. Sealed enclosure. They are getting around 125W @ 2 ohms

**As of 8/21/11 the box needs to be stained and sealed. But here it is now, will add pics when stain is done**

Everything fit nice, time to assemble

Since it's his, I added terminals for ease of use. There is foam on the backside of the terminals

For $200 total (Amp, Subs, and wood) it sound absolutely amazing. The eclipse amp was a perfect match for these subs. Problably one of the most fun builds I have done in months.

I will post pics when it gets stained, and a vid of it doing it's thang!

Also installed a Kenwood cd deck, Boston front speakers, and Boston top pillar 3" speakers all running off the head unit. Gotta snap some pics.
