bcbrassard Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Been for ever since i have updated. System has ran good for a few years now and the wife got a new ride this summer. 2017 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk, so the Malibu is mine plus i still have the Lancer which i plan to keep for a work car at least one more year. So Christmas was good to me and i received $550 worth of amazon gift card, And they are spent! Just ordered a Pioneer AVH-4200 NEX HU, Sound SKins deadening, Second skin butyl rope, PAC WSI-RC steering wheel interfac. I have the PAC GM11 installed already. A nice Dash Pad, Supplies for fabricating A-Pillars to house a set of 4" Focal Components. This will be this winters project and next summer save up for full interior sound deading, possible a JL Twk-88 depending on how good this HU sounds, still nice to have more processing and control imo. Needs new Battery, Big 3, 0 gauge runs to replace the 4 guage now. Pics of goodies when they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmanjr82 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Pretty sound choice pun intended. Figure you might keep up the spending spree and maybe go for a focal Ap4340 budget wise, or just go balls out and get the FDP 600.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Nothing crazy, using the equipment thats installed in it right now. RF 500-4 (front doors & rear deck) RF P200-2 (highs in the A-Pillar) 1999 RF Power 1000a1 for sub. Slow upgrades on Malibu to continue to improve SQ. Car sounds good now more deadening, speaker placement and tuning can make it shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be about at the same speed as your build. LOL You know me once i start i put a shit tons of hours in to get it done. Did you notice i purchased a dash pad? I listen to you brother, you haven't steered me wrong and would love some more advice to get this build closer to a SQ set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most think I'm full of shit about a dash pad, but I stick to my guns because I've seen the improvements on a score sheet. Can't wait to get your thoughts when you compare the difference with and without ...

Like using acoustic foam to dissipate the back wave of a speaker. I am excited to try it and hear the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 take a simple test. Get a thick towel and lay up on the dash. only difference is a custom dash pad is made to contour the curves of the dash and allow for defroster vents. but for testing purposes, a thick towel works great.
