KenC210 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Tuned in, looks great man. Thank you. So I got a little work done on this beast. First thing I got done was the fire wall bushings. Two runs will be going to the rear. Also added the water proof fuse boxes. Had to make my own speaker wire out of the 12ga wire I had. Black and red colors. Then I ran them along side the existing door wires. After I ran the wires for the woofer, mid, and tweeter I installed all the speakers and reassembled the doors. That's pretty much it for today since I only had a couple hours. Hopefully by this weekend I could get a lot more done.

KenC210 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Looks really good. Builds looking good man Thank you guys. Now on to some updates. I started with the power wire that will be running towards the back. Two runs of of sky high 1/0 glad I was able to fit both runs along the side. The speaker wires from the door and dash wrapped up and will be routed. Then to find a place for the front stage amp. Was hard to come up with a place but however under the front seat was best place, didn't really want to put anything under the seat but I had limited space. So I made a base out of 1/2in mdf so it would be secured. A test fit to make sure it will be fine... Good to go so I will be placing it there. Time to remove all seats again... Now to start with the Audio control LC7i to help me integrate the factory amp to the other amps. Of coarse with a good diagram I got from TundraTalk.net to help me out with which wires are what I was able to knock this out. Now that I was able to get those wires done with the processor time to start cleaning up this mess of wires and start running them where they will go. Got my 12volt turn on relay in place to get the multiple accessories to turn one. Also got the Dakota digital in place while i was running all the wires. The voltage will be read from the sub amp.

KenC210 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 So i got everything hooked up. I have a few issues that will require some trouble shooting like my driver side tweeter isn't work. My main issue is that my ports are vibrating. Is there any solutions others could help me out with? I have a few ideas but worse case I don't want to rebuild the box.

KenC210 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Getting the box in for fitting. Also getting the holes drilled for T nuts. After i got the subs mounted in place it was time for the amp. After the power, grounds set, and a double check for everything it was time to finish the rest off... So I got everything playing and had a few issues. I had a tweeter not working which i found the problem which was where I soldered the wires together I guess I pulled the wire a bit to hard and it tore the wire, so I re solder and got it playing. The next big thing i have is with the aero ports are vibrating. I thought I had the in very secure when build the box but I guess not. I will have to try and fix this if I can't come to a decent idea to help prevent the rattle from the ports.

KenC210 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Got around to setting up the gains so here is a test vid of the Hertz. I will be needing to fixing the subs box due to some issues with the port rattling so I have the subs at zero gain as of now till I get around to fixing the problem. I know the issue with the ports but I will need to cut out the front baffle and replace it as I will be securing the aero ports a bit better.

bcbrassard Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bummer about your enclosure, sucks to have to fix it. That video does not do those speakers JUSTICE! I better it sounds Amazing! I have a LC7 I have used in a couple builds and I plan to put it in the wife's 2012 Malibu with a 3-way set up like that for a front stage. Always been happy with the LC7 just upgraded HU's and have always saved it. Nice build man! Tuned in for substage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be well worth it though as of now some songs were rattling the ports pretty bad and that was with gain all the way down. So i went ahead and disconnected the till I could work on it. The front stage sounds great I did some other tracks, which I'm waiting for them to load, and it sounded pretty good even though they are placed in factory locations. I bet I could a much better sound if I was to arrange the speakers in a more custom fit but don't want to tear up the doors yet.

bcbrassard Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think you have the doors right, the only thin that might make it better would be to have your mids & highs on the A pillar in pods or your highs on the dash. New A pillars would be pretty cheap to glass up then you could put it back to stock if you ever sold it. What ever you used to record your vid the mic didn't like it, try videoing farther back, not a distance test but somewhere it makes the speakers sound better. Stock locations aren't bad if you sound deaden the best you can to make the speakers shine. Still a sweet set up. You liking the LC7? I think mine was like $270 a few yrs ago. Hard to pay $500+ for a 360.3 or other processor. Even though they are worth it, shit adds up fast on installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
