01 Explorer Sport, 2 HDC3 15's on an AQ3500! *Vids/Door speakers coming soon*


Recommended Posts

Alright guys, decided to wait until the build was finished to start a log.

Gear list is

H/u - Alpine CDE-123

Subs- 2 AQ HDC3 15's Aluminum coil

Sub Amp - AQ3500d.1

4ch Amp - Alpine mrp-f300

Door speakers - Polk DXI 570 x4

2 Pos and Neg runs of Knu OFC

All Knu RCAs

Electrical consists of a Mechman 270A alt, D3400 up front, and a D3100 in the back. All connected with ProjectDB battery terminals.

Anywho, on to the pictures....i'm sure i'm forgetting something or leaving pictures out.

Alt compared to stock

D3400 in with stock wiring

Double-up of big 3 added, because I know an upgrade is bound to happen

It was hard drilling into the Ex :(

All grommets put in place

Runs finished to the back

Not the prettiest thing, but made brackets to keep my fuse holders in place. (old Droid Eris with no flash FTL)

Coming up from under the car, wires were ran of the drivers side.

Woo! Alot more time than I thought it was going to take.

Shot of the runs covered in conduit from the front

Under the car look at the wires coming in the cabin

IMAG0176.jpg

What the runs looked like before the conduit clamps. Free conduit from work FTW!

IMAG0175.jpg

Ya know, looks just a little tidier with the clamps on....

IMAG0179.jpg

Used the spots that the running boards bolted into since they weren't being used

IMAG0180.jpg

And now a few random shots of the equipment...

Amp size comparison to the Zune

Little Mockup of the idea for the amp rack

IMAG0168-1.jpg

And......DONE! Came out decent for a first timer, haha.

IMAG0183.jpg

Final fit of the rack

IMAG0185.jpg

Wires ran and battery dropped in. Dont worry, I cleaned up every bit of slack :P

IMAG0190.jpg

Just sao sexy

IMAG0191.jpg

Placing fuses in the back, later added two more to the left from battery to amp.

IMAG0198.jpg

And it was put on hold for a bit, Took a trip to the Chicago area to meet up with the box guru Team DOA Mike (aka mlstrass)

Had a good time watching him do all the work :rofl: and then go a demo of Barney. Going from never hearing a 150 before to being in that van was just rediculous! Spurred ideas of a rebuild before I even got this one playing, lol.

But! almost cried when it looked like it wasn't going to the clear the back window

IMAG0205.jpg

But it did, and it's just plain sexy. 8.5 cubes tuned to 36hz. 41Wx21Dx~27H

IMAG0202.jpg

The woofers finally have a nice home

IMAG0203.jpg

Belive it or not I'm still about 3.5 inches off the hatch

IMAG0204.jpg

Few pictures of the dash. the slot under the H/u was the perfect size for the bass knob and fabbed up a piece of wood with velcro that the stinger screwed into. Crappy phone pics don't do it justice.

IMAG0206.jpg

IMAG0207.jpg

And it's all stuffed into this. Has a little sagging, but swapping in 4 door leaf springs and getting some cheap black cragar rims until i go to 33s with Dick Cepek DC-2's.

IMAG0210.jpg

IMAG0211.jpg

I'll Upload Vids in the next couple days. Can already do a decent hairtrick with the gain pretty liberal.

DD-1 and CC-1 on the way! Should be nuts after everything tuned!

Leave some feedback, guys! Hope ya like it, and feel free to ask any questions abut how I did certain things, or need pictures of something. :drink40:

Like I said, I know i'm probably leaving alot out right now, though.
