Also in the process of building another box. The one I built is really twice the internal volume that it should be for a single 12...soooooo

its a little "boomy" Gonna see how it sounds in a properly sized box.

I might try a sealed box for the DC also, what the hell, its only mdf.

Nice purchase bro!!!

I'm shopping for good deals on components now. I was mildly interested in a set of Mezzo comps for sale on here, but waited too long.

Can I fit a bigger speaker than the tweet in that dash spot? Best practice is to keep the tweet closer to the midrange to eliminate time alignment issues.

Was thinking to mount new tweet closer to mid....leaving the old tweet mount available

Our factory "tweeter" is a 3" midrange... TBH, I never had TA issues or any quality issues with my tweeter in the dash... There's a site I used that makes custom pvc adapters to fit in the stock location...! If interested, pm me!!! If you check my BL on pg 18, I have a video of my last setup and you can here the quality even with the speakers in the stock location!! I "BELIEVE" (don't quote me) TA issues only occur when running active, so if you plan to run the passive crossovers, you will be completely fine with them in stock locations :)

Decided to move on to upgrading front stage from OEMs.

First I scored a new 4 channel amp

Pennsville-20140617-00178_zps05cbe55c.jp

Then I needed to mount it somewhere. I've been trying to keep everything contained to my hinged compartment...but the new amp is larger (Class AB) than originally planned so I had to improvise a little

This WAS the plan, to keep all Class D amps from RF...but I got a great deal on the DD so had to change.

So I decided to change things around a bit

The amp and cleansweep were installed this way

NewCastle-20140515-00122_zps6ca7a0de.jpg

Then I moved them around a little...

Also added some speaker wire for the fronts in the white techflex... more on that

The speaker wire went in extremely well...my car has these wire channels already installed down both sides...

The techflex makes the wire super easy to pull...each bundle has 2 wires so if I want to add a second set up front, I'm good to go.

Took out the sub, here are some new pics of it painted and with a little trim ring...

Had some 1/4" aluminum left over from another project years ago, so decided to use it for an amp stand

Pennsville-20140809-00196_zpsc4614242.jp

Got it cut and ready for sanding

IMG-20140809-00202_zps69a7e1c6.jpg

It will be elevated a little in the back to it "floats" above the equipment behind it
