oldsoundguy Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Well home from work today. Pretty tired so just prepared for the comp tomorrow. I pulled out both subs to check wiring and the coils. Only thing I found was a couple stripped spax screws. After pulling the subs I used a thin sticky gasket material between the sub and box for a better seal. Then I used a screw gun to start the screws then tightened them by hand so not to strip them again. Oh and I did rotate the sub to get new wood to screw into. I am ready. Not in it to win it just curious to see what it does. 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 July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Got a little more work done today. Had to work yesterday so I was too tired to do anything so today was the day. I took out both sets of 6.5 speakers and clamped the pass side door panel to the door. I drew a line were the dash hits the panel. I took it off and used the router again to take off material. After that I clamped it in place and marked the holes for the studs. After those set up well I put it back on the door and clamped it in place and added two more studs. The studs that are on the outside of the panel are going trough the holes for the stock plastic holders. The other two I found a good flat place on the door panel in close location that I wanted. After that I took the speaker rings and did a round over edge on the outside and used a round file to finish off the center of the two rings. A little more sanding and some filler and ready for paint. I love the way they are turning out so far. Also go my self a bad ass toy. Its a ridged shop vac/ blower. Its the 6.5 16gal model with removable blower. It is freaking awesome. 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...

bcbrassard Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Since your tight on space and thinking about going active with multiply speakers a nice small amp like a RF PBR or something to that nature would do you well to run your highs off of. They dont need shit tons of power to get loud and sound good. That would leave your SQ 4 ch to run mids in what ever ohm you can handle. Just sharing ideas for a tight space build. It is one of the things i do like about RFs amps is there small footprint. But you pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
