Ford Explorer Skar Audio Build


Recommended Posts

Just food for thought. I ran my re audio xtx5k @.5 for about a year. And i never really had a problem. Until i did. And that problem was frying my amp and costing me money i didnt want to spend. When running at. 5 you have 2 experiences either you fry it or you have a crap ton of electrical and you accept that you still might fry it.

Alrighty time for some catch up pictures. At the beginning of this build i had a Alpine 125bt, that has now been swapped out for a Pioneer deh 6400bt.

Here is the volt meter I installed. I know its a cheap one, but it does what I need it to do, and fits perfectly in the dash. That is the voltage after I just shut the car off. Dont worry!

And I never showed pictures of my back speakers, partly because they are horible but I figured I better include everything. They are the stock speakers out of my camper trailer, but they sound better (dont sound good, but better than what i had) than the factory speakers that were torn apart and no surround.

And here is how i conceal my system in parking lots around town, as my buddy says, "outa sight, outa mind."

Lead by example is what I've always been told.. So if the owner can run 6 amps at .5 ohms a piece, then why not do it yourself. I would

Dont know to much about it, my buddy got it in a trade. He was told its a custom sub, 2k rms, its a dual 1, and this thing is a spl sub not doubt. It kills everything in my explorer. No sound quality at all. But its just a temporary setup untill i can get my vvxs. So i dont mind.
