Big-A Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just received my new Skar ZVX15. Should be a good match for my Arc 2000.1. Much to my surprise it is a new design. 2004 Dodge Ram Head unit- Alpine iDA-x305s Sound processor- Clarion eqs746 Mids/Highs amp- Alpine MRV-F345 Sub Amp- Alpine MRD-M1005 Dash Speakers- (3) Dayton Audio rs75 Front Door- Skar SPX65c Rear fill- Skar SPX tweters and Dayton ND140 midbass Sub- Fi Audio SSD 15 high QTS SHCA power/ground cables and Stinger interconnect XS power D6500 under the hood and D680 in the amp rack Big 3+ with SHCA http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161174-dodge-ram-quad-cab-fi-ssd15-skar-audio-alpine-shca/?p=2326251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcpballer64 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 That is clean as hell man! Question though what is going on on your dash? I have an 02 ram and its crumbling like all of them do and I thought yours looked kinda cool.

Big-A Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 My factory dash was cracked so I pulled it out when I replaced the dash speakers. I used 1/4 Maple plywood and cut a new piece, made cutouts for the speakers and my vents. I carpeted it and made the grills to cover the speakers and vents. I'm almost ready to install the console for my 15 and have been thinking about covering the dash in vinyl. Almost anything would look better than those factory dashes that always crack up. 2004 Dodge Ram Head unit- Alpine iDA-x305s Sound processor- Clarion eqs746 Mids/Highs amp- Alpine MRV-F345 Sub Amp- Alpine MRD-M1005 Dash Speakers- (3) Dayton Audio rs75 Front Door- Skar SPX65c Rear fill- Skar SPX tweters and Dayton ND140 midbass Sub- Fi Audio SSD 15 high QTS SHCA power/ground cables and Stinger interconnect XS power D6500 under the hood and D680 in the amp rack Big 3+ with SHCA http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161174-dodge-ram-quad-cab-fi-ssd15-skar-audio-alpine-shca/?p=2326251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
