darkraid Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone. Kinda new here. I'm only 17 with a part time job so bare with me I don't have thousands to spend unfortunately. I am from New Zealand and here we don't have easy access to all the awesome products that you guys in the U.S.A have. I am limited in areas like Alternators, Batteries (brands like XS, Kinetic aren't in NZ), and the car audio scene isn't very big here. Big ups to Ashley @ Abtec LTD NZ! He is the importer for Digital Designs in NZ and runs DB DRAG NZ. Thanks! I plan to use as much Digital Designs gear as I can. The plan for my car build is constantly changing but here is what I am think right now... Headunit: Pioneer DEH-P5150UB Front doors: 2 sets of DD-CS6.5 component sets. Rear doors: May add the DD-CXS5.2 coaxials from the front doors. Rear boot (on top of the coilover housing): DD-CXS6.5 coaxials. Sub woofer(s): Thinking either 2x DD-1512 or a single DD-3512. Really digging the single sub setups at the moment. Front amp: Fusion PP-AM8004. Upgrade to DD later? Rear amp: None at the moment. Not sure what I'll use. Subwoofer amp: Will get a DD M1b/c. I am building up my car audio system. At the moment I am working on the front doors. This is my first time fibre glassing anything. Stay tuned for updates! Edited October 9, 2011 by darkraid Quote

Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged
darkraid Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Nice equipment and progress so far sucks about the lady though it's strange because I didn't know they were installing kitchens in cars now a days Thanks. What do you mean kitchens in cars now a days? lol Ohhhhhhhhh brain fart there. I get what you mean Nice! It was a weird incident really. I had reversed out from a driveway across from hers and I had just straightend up on the road when I saw her coming towards me at somewhat high speed (10-15km/h) and before I could get out of her way she hit my door with her rear bumper. I was fuming when it happend. My mate that was in the front passengers seat was a little shocked with what had just happened. It's all good though because her insurance is paying for my car to be repaired as it was her fault. Edited October 9, 2011 by darkraid Quote
darkraid Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Today I fibreglassed the passengers side door card. Also bought a Fusion PP-AM10001 off Trademe (NZ's equivalent of Ebay). Should also be picking up my new Dayton sub in the next few days. Quote
darkraid Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 Everything is in the car now. The door cards still need finishing up. Tidying with a grinder, another coat of resin and then sanding to get it smooth. Then I will body filler it if it is not smooth enough. Then paint it dark grey to match the interior. The door cards are really rough at the moment but I just couldn't resist not getting them on the car and see what they sound like! Really impressed with them and how they sound! Well worth the money! My bass is lacking a bit now so I will be building a new box in the near future which will be ported instead of sealed to get some more output. I will throw up some pictures tomorrow and possibly a video of the system at the moment. Quote
knowledge Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 what did u use to attache the fabric to the door instead of saples Quote REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

darkraid Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 what did u use to attache the fabric to the door instead of saples I only used staples. On the inside part of the enclosure I didn't really worry about what it looked like but on the external cloth at the top I folded the fabric underneath it's self and stapled the underneath piece so that the staples were hidden. need some more pics man!! welcome! I will take some tomorrow when it is day light Video coming soon too Thanks for the support and interest guys! Quote
