NEOGLOW Designs - Project DC - Stage 1


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello guys,

I been lurking here for the past few years, reading up and learning while continuing my 15 year old passion. Three years ago I decided to join with my father`s business and focus on car audio. We have been doing small scale and simple projects for customers. This is our first Demo car build as we are the Distributors for DC Audio, Mechman, SHOK Industries products in our country.

It was setup by myself, my father and our assistant using scrap mdf and materials from the shop, so its nothing big. :sigh:

The Idea is to keep it simple, effective and attractive.

Dont have pictures of stage 1 build log but stage 2 will definitely have one.

The car was emptied long back for some project and it never happened until I got some inspiration from tctdh11's tib project

More details to come soon, need your suggestion and advice to move to level 2 which makes this project a complete demo car!

Objectives

1) Demo car for the shop to show car our capabilities

2) Ground pounder / street bass cabilities

3) Good sound quality inside and outside

4) Multimedia capabilities inside and outside

Next consideration

1) Upgrading to 4KW, probably DC Audio 2Ks strapped

2) Improve trunk, roof and door dampening

3) Front door speakers to be upgraded

4) Trunk speakers to be reconsidered - Need help here

5) 2 channel amplifiers to be replaced with 4 channel ones

6) Improvement in design related to fiberglass and plexiglass touches.

7) Custom interior and lighting.

8) Improved wiring and layout

9) Upgraded Deep cycle batteries

10) Replace Headunit

Lol all of the above might happen or might never happen...

Suggestions and feedback welcome!

:thanx:

Need help to move ahead guys!

Do you think pushing the setup to 4000W RMS is okay? So the subs would be seeing 2000W RMS Per sub! These are DC level 4 rated at 1400W RMS

I am thinking of replacing those DLS rear coaxials! I was more loudness, but I dont want to install pro audio speakers as SQ is important? Any options here?

There is an issue in this setup. As you can see, I have mentioned its ported enclosure, the port is actually opening inside the car. So when opening and playing the low bass is not felt right next to the car, you have to move back to feel the bass. :)
