That Loud Focus...USAlternators Hairpin, 4 DD 9515i's in a B pillar on 2 Soundstream XXX-15K's. Caps and Lithium Power. New vids


Recommended Posts

True enough its nit cost effective but how is car audio cost effective? Spend thousands on car audio because you like it.

The focus isn't hard to get up to 250-300hp, you can push 200-250 with 2-3k into a turbo setup. Or rip the Moto apart spend 3-4k slap on a turbo setup for 2k and be able to produce well above 300hp. Still get 24-30pg with good driving habits. You can make a 300hp focus for under the 25000 price tag the 250hp st has. The st isn't 250 at the wheels either. A built focus can produce more at the wheels for less.

Think about it this way, 250/month plus 250/month insurance. $500 a month for 72 months. Or $500/month for 20months to have built a car with your own 2 hands, sweet, and blood that can outperform the option you gave?

Wouldn't you rather build your own stereo state rather then pay someone else to do it for you? It a pride thing.

Honestly if I had a focus and didn't care about putting money into it I wouldn't waste my time on the front wheel drive 4 banger setup I'd build a terminator focus. If you did that then you would truly have something bad ass and you would never see another.

cosworth awd swap would be a lot cooler in the states, just because you couldn't EVER get that in any way shape or form in the US. Termi swapped would be cool, but it's highly probable that someone has already swapped a mod motor into a focus.

Yeah svt did it years ago the called it the terminator focus, there were all kinds of articles published about it. I'm local to the svt factory and got to see it in person at car shows, thing was nuts.

Company called ATI was also producing and selling them.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

no reason to wall after seeing that and plus you want 10k so you should be able to do a 153

that build is sweet man. clean simple and loud

I've been saying that from the get go. I still haven't seen a complete hatch install louder than my ZX3 out there. Every single piece of equipment was located in the hatch. Spare tire was gone and 3 XS Power D3100's crammed in there. My best numbers came out of 4 Sundown sa12's and did a best on the dash sealed of 155.4, the previous setup of 2 Sundown Nightshade 15's did a 154.3 sealed on the dash. I know this car and spl better than any other person I've talked to about it and I've given this guy my opinion on what I think he should do but it's his car and can do with it as he choses.

Not bad, but I got much much louder of less power in mine. I only ran a pair of Sundown saz3500's in my ZX3. The biggest problem with your setup is those batteries sitting right behind the box. They are taking up valuable airspace that the subs could use allowing you to make the box narrower and increasing airflow along with your score. Also the batteries fuck up the flow of air themselves being right there.

I never got the box design you were going to send. :) This thing is slow as a snail from all the lbs from the gear and had to be lifted just to sit normal. Ill make the changes as long as there isn't anymore lbs added. I want the car to stay in the stock class as well. No modification to the cargo area and it must stay under the window line.
