matt14 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I bought this 2006 yukon brand new back in 05. After about 3 years decided to start modding it ( after it was out of factory warranty ). Started off with some LED tails, then lowered it 3/5 with djm suspension , and afterwards threw some 22" Boss 330 wheels on it. At this point, just the factory bose system. First system equipment: 1. Pioneer AHV4100dvd head unit 2. 15" Kicker L7 d2 in a prefab 3. Knu Konceptz 1/0 cca wire 4. Rockford Power 1000 25 to life 5 channel ( loved this thing ) Birthsheet readings were channel 1-4=110rms per side at 4 ohm/ sub channel 933 rms at 1 ohm Went to my first show and was convinced by the other competitors to meter it. 141.0 at 41hz I had the rockford running the factroy bose till they blew. Once they blew, I installed some orion cobalts ( hella broke at the time ). When I decided to upgrade the mids and highs again, I rewired it with stinger 12g for the mids and stinger 16g for the tweeters. I went with the CDT CL-62 pro pack. This included 6.5 componets with addition upstage tweeter and some coaxs. For the rear doors, I had seen some people drill the connecter to fit the wire, or even eliminate the connecter completely and just hard wire the rear doors. I decided to "notch" the connecter to fit the 12g on the side. I lined the side of the connecter opeing in the door with some thick felt tape I got from work ( when doing wiring repairs on cars). I rocked this system for a couple of years. Really loved that amp, and at the time did not know the capabilites of that amp ( running active ). I ended up selling the amp and the L7 along with some other parts I had laying around to fund a new build. I had already installed a XS3400 up front for my primary battery. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 As far as the new system went, It consisted of 1 18" DC XL M1, Crescendo 3k ( thanks to skittles) and a Crescnedo 1000c4 ( thanks to alpine). Also picked up another xs3400 and a DC 250amp alt. I built a box with 2 6" aeros. Long story short, I fucked up on the box and blew the XL. I had decided not to go the DC route anymore and went with a Mayhem instead. I ended up getting the Mayhem off Ray and also a box design for a 4th order. I ran the mayhem in the old box ( and "fixed" my issue I had) until i built this. NO bracing in this box Once it was in and i played it for a while, I liked it. Was loud to me. Went down to skittles house to throw it on the term lab and put up a 145.4 @37hz.. After some talking with him, he had suggested of course to brace the box. Around that time I came up on a set of rainbow dual 6.5's and 5.25's comps. I also had ordered up about 150sq.ft. of Second skin damplifier b-stock. I double layered the roof and sealed all 4 doors and layered the hatch as best as possible. Before After Hatch Doors Floor I had the Cdt's still installed since i wanted to see how they sounded sealed up. MUCH better. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt14 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 My doors consist of the dual 6.5's Rainbows and the rear have my old CDT's. I cut up the door panels a little ( behind the grille) to house the 6.5's. What I did not relize, is that the window would make contact with the back of the top mid motor. So , I had to cut up the door a little bit so that the motor would sit in it, then space out the top mid to wear it did not make contact. Rear doors I also installed a while ago a stinger volt meter and my PAC LC1. The 12 volt outlet on the driver side is the LC1 knob The crossovers for the Rainbows are huge! I mounted the right side under the front passengers seat and the driver side under the center console. After talking with skittles, I had decided to re-build this box again, but with b 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 After talking with Skittles, I had decided to re-build the box with bracing now. Luckily, skittles helped me out huge! We build the box over at his house. His wood shop is crazy!, and has everything you would need. I wanted to use all thread for bracing. so picked up 2 pieces and cut them at work. We also had talked about putting a removable panel to access the sub in case of a recone. We put some weatherstrip to seal the access panel. Works great. After playing if for a while, I went down to alpines and through it on the termlab again. This time we got a 147.4 @37! Thats a increase of 2db from bracing/deadner. It did not matter were we through the mic, kick, passenger side glass, driver glass, window down. We were consistent at 147.4. The best score we got was a 148.1 which was driver kick, window down? Whatever it was, I was happy 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 So know we come to this. I had bought another Mayhem d1.4, and had a box from ray laying around for 2 18's. I installed it, but had a decision to make. I could either wire at 1.4, or at .35. After thinking about it, we wired to .35 to see what would happen. It was loud for sure, but I was getting BAD voltage drop ( which I knew, but just confimred it ) at the amp to 10.1v. My stinger meter never dropped below 13.2. That only lasted about 2 weeks before i wired to 1.4. During that time, I only demo'd it 3 times for no more then 20sec at a time cause of voltage. I ran it at 1.4 for a litte while, but the box was too big ( for me ) and decided to yank it out. But first, hit up team bassick again and got on the termlab. It did a 145.4 from 34-46hz. But now, Im back to the single mayhem in a 4th order at .7 and love it! And some random pics i have from building My baby girl this past august at a car show My big boy same day Bats and alt Lots of this.... Since the begining of this year, Im on my 2nd set up for mids an highs and my 4th box. Next year im looking to do another re-build like most of you. I want to use the other mayhem, and be able to power them both. So much more electrical and amps to power. Hopefully it will be able to happen and i can get to a 150 ( personal goal ) 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
