oldsoundguy Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 A buddy of mine will be bringing his work van over so I can set his gains and crossovers on his sub amp. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNells Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 How far off were your gains from the dd.1/cc.1 gains? Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 How far off were your gains from the dd.1/cc.1 gains? well I had them set according to my clip light on the gain knob that came with my amp. I was able to turn the gain up a touch with the DD-1 as the clip light on the gain knob came on first. Then I think what made a big difference was setting the cross over to the exact settings instead of guessing. I was pretty far off on them also. Then getting the subsonic perfect. So everything together made the difference not just being able to set the gain a touch up from were it was. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Had some time today to work on my door panels. I was able to get the pass door spacers fitted and glued. Then I moved to the drivers door. I installed the spacer I built and started cutting the door panel a little bit at a time. I got it pretty close but you can see the spacer sticks out on the one side of the panel. I will have to add some fiberglass to the door panel and blend it in nice. I will do that this summer when it gets warmer out. So for now it will do. I was able to get the tweet fitted also. Everything is ready on the drivers side. I did take the spacer off and put a few coats of clear on it to seal the mdf from moisture. As soon as the other side dries I can get that side fitted. Most likely this weekend. Here are some pics of the progress today. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsoundguy Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Iam thinking I will cut another trim ring that is about 1/6th bigger than the speaker cover. Cut the door panel a little more so the ring will be flush with the front of the speaker grill. Then I can glass to that. Then I can cover it in some kind of vinyl so when the panel goes back on it will look like the speaker is inset and will be a nice fit. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been a big thorn in my side, have been tweaking it but just can't seem to find that sweet spot... Doors look good so far, looks like it will function well too. Now you just have to beautify it. Haha. Interested to see what you come up with. Malibu Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
