Ford Explorer Skar Audio Build


Recommended Posts

Alrighty, figured I would just start a build thread in the Skar Audio board. This one is gunna take a while to get done, but that is what us college students have to do. Anyways, this is going to be a full skar audio build up, planing on doing skar components in front, coaxials in the back, 1 Skar SK 1500.1, and 2 Skar VVX v2 15"s in a ported box. Going to be tuned at 31hz. All home built/installed and self designed box. Just a good setup in a car that you wouldn't give a second look.

Alrighty, going to catch up on what I have done already.

I swapped my POS front stock speakers (which were totally rotted out!) for some SKAR RPX 6.5" coaxials. Eventually will swap these to the back when I can order some Skar components for the front, untill then these will do. Still running them off just deck power.

Here are the old and the new!

Ran my 0 gauge, remote wire, and rca's over the past weekend and pulled it up through the floor for a clean look.

Whatre you going to be running the 15s at? I know they like lows and a 1500 at .5ohm will really pound.

going to run them at 1 ohm, so going to order 2 dual 4's. I dont think my little 95 amp alt will handle running at .5 very well. lol

nice list so far dude...

Thanks Will! Greatly appreciate it!

Installed my volt meter today! Looks clean, and cant wait to see what voltage it sits at when everything gets installed. Hope it doesnt drop to low!

Not sure if anyone is following this or not, but i will keep updating! Alrighty, got a SK1500.1 on its way. Bought it off ToNasty here on the forum. Love this place! Once it gets here i will be installing a custom made 15" a buddy of mine has lying around the garage untill i get my 2 vvxs ordered. Getting closer and closer each week.
