damato300x7 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah I like it so far. Wish I had time to do more work on it. I travel a lot for work so nothing has been done on it for a couple months now. When I get home I hope to get sub box completed and amp rack done. I looked into upgrading my alternator and that is out. I contacted the guy from Singer alternators and he said at this time he can not help with upgrading our alternators in our Darts. He said to keep in contact with him to see if any new technology comes out to allow him to make us alternators. I'm really worried about pushing the electrical system without an upgrade. But we will see after I get everything installed. Should be around 1400 watts when complete. 2013 Dodge Dart Factory HU Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 Alpine V9 Alpine F4 Hertz HT-25 Tweeter Hertz HL-70 Mid-Range Hertz HV-165L Woofer Raspberry Pi - Running OSMC using optical out to 3Sixty.3 Wiring - Sky High Car Audio Build Log - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190450-2013-dodge-dart-american-bass-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damato300x7 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I contacted Mechman this morning, waiting on a reply. I just assumed that if one company couldn't make one none of them could. We will see. I really hope someone can do an alternator for this car. The AB speakers have not been tested as of yet. The install has been on delay for the last couple months due to work. So I will get some free time here in a couple weeks where I think I will be able to finish this project up for now.

damato300x7 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well made some more progress. Decided I didn't like how my trunk rattled so I did some sound deadening. Prior to deadening With Deading Re-Assembled So I also loved the amp rack we built but did not thing far enough ahead to figure out how I was going to mount it. So went back to the drawing board and came up with a nice fitted rack. Assembly is still in progress. But here is a pic of the progress so far: Hope to finish this up tomorrow and get this installed. Here are some pics of the sub box: Designed by RAM Designs tuned to 32 hz. Built by a good friend of mine: Picture of the Dayton speaker terminals, Love them! I know its a shitty pic and I will get a better one tomorrow, didn't realize it looked like this. Internal brace and internal pic of the Dayton Terminals That's all for now. I will post more when I get more progress done.

damato300x7 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah that was my friends idea. We matched the paint to the color of the car (As close as you can from a color swatch from the dealer). But it came out really nice. He did an excellent job on the build and paint job! Only thing I am regretting is the flat black. It shows every damn finger print. 2013 Dodge Dart Factory HU Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 Alpine V9 Alpine F4 Hertz HT-25 Tweeter Hertz HL-70 Mid-Range Hertz HV-165L Woofer Raspberry Pi - Running OSMC using optical out to 3Sixty.3 Wiring - Sky High Car Audio Build Log - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190450-2013-dodge-dart-american-bass-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
