alaskanzx5 rockford build in a ford focus.


Recommended Posts

well, seeing as to how this is a long build and ive got everything but the make it look clean part done as far as the bass goes (mids & highs still need amp + more maybe ) im gonna go ahead and make a build log.

the equipment

sub amp -- rf t1500.1bdcp

subs -- 2 rf t2d412"

sub enclosure -- custom, 4.3cuft tuned high at 45hz 16.xx per foot. slot port. plays into the low 30 decently but anything from about 35-50hz sound real good.

door amp -- rf t400.4bd ( gotta buy )

door speakers -- rf t1 6x8 front and rear ( want a set of t2 6.5 componets for the front )

head unit -- pioneer dont remeber model number but it was one of the nicer hu's in 08 ( dang that thing is old now )

rf hybrid 10farad cap

micheal singer 250 amp alt. doing big 3 soon just got wires for it.

batteries

intersate starting battery 550 cca if i remember right.

interstate rv deep cycle 65ah

will be buying an xspower d3100 for under the hood and most likely a second one for the back.

wires

rf 1/0 front to back power wire

rf 1/0 ground

rf 4gauge from battery to cap - upgrading with 1/0

rf 4 guage from cap to amp

rf 8 guage from amp to subs

will be using 16 gauge for doors

so everything isnt perfect but this is all a learning experience for me. but without more delay some pics.

the car, getting it ready for paint going with the same stock color. wont be painting it untill sometime october/november.

If that was you yesterday...it looked like your box was getting choked. Port looked like it was right against the hatch.

I was the guy in the gold Rocawear track jacket.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

yeah it was me. i moved it further away from the hatch and did a 143.4 then pushed it agiant the hatch and did a 144. left it like that till the end of the comp but now its facing up almost right at the hatch window and sounds a lot better and is a good amount louder. gonna go down to image audio later this week ( hopefully wednessday ) and have it tested agian. gotta find that sweet spot for the box.

I like the demoing in Fred Meyers parking lot. I think I recognize your car from coming through the McDonald's drive thru at night. I work there 9pm-5am and if it is you I remember talking to you about your set up. Might be a different guy but looks like the same car.

considering to build another box but tune a bit lower. right around 38-40hz maybe. i will have to wait to see what im doing now since i turned the box. sounds louder but that doesnt always mean it is louder.
