RedFred Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Did a little bit of sidegrading/upgrading lately. Acquired a SoundQubed 2200 and Q4-90. Was able to get them both successfully hooked up today, and I must say that I am definitely impressed. Since I don't meter, I'm unsure of any actual quantitative gains from the swap, but according to my ear-o-meter, it was a real noticeable improvement. Some pictures of the new toys: The difference between the 4 channels is completely ridiculous. With all the doors open, it feels like standing at a concert: Really impressive for $70 worth of highs and mids + a $100 amp. and I'm already planning to improve the front stage some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Haven't done much because I've been busy with school. But I found a post on a local facebook audio group that I couldn't pass up. Two SSA Xcon 18"s. Currently working on a new box design. Torn between C-Pillar or a similar box to my current one for four 15s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Small update today. I've been spending a lot of time trying to decide if I should keep my current 15s setup, put my two new Xcon 18's in a C Pillar wall, or buy another two Xcon's and just flat wall 4 of them. Either way, it's been consistently in the 30s - 40s temperature wise here, so I think most of my building is over until Spring or Summer. I picked up another SQ2200, so hopefully soon I'll get that wired in and see if I notice a difference. Anyways, today I had a spur of the moment idea to mount a voltmeter, so in about 30 minutes I got it all taken care of: Replaced the rear windshield wiper button and hatch button. I haven't had a rear windshield wiper in months, because the vibrations killed it. Similarly, my rear hatch actuator went out. So I pretty much lost nothing, and gained a voltmeter It also has a switch below it to turn it on and off, in case I ever get sick of looking at it.

RedFred Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well, it looks like plans have changed some more. I thought the re-build was going to be postponed until Spring, but I ended up selling some stuff, getting some good deals, and will be rebuilding hopefully over Christmas Break. (December 21 - January 3rd). I sold the four 15s and the box, and decided on a similar box design for the two SSA Xcon 18"s: I had some people go over my last box, and my specs were way off. We went over this design together and it looks much better. 44.25" wide x 31.25" deep x 25" tall (1" taller than my previous box) 7" wide x 25" long x 20" deep for the port (175 square inches of port, 34hz tuning). 15.8025 cubes gross, should be about 13.2 cubes net. 4.25" of distance between the end of the port and the bottom of the box. I threw one of the Xcon's in a sealed box on an SQ2200 @ 2 ohms for now (wiring is temporary, thus the mess) Gotta say this setup is super musical. It is SOOOO nice to be able to listen full tilt and hear something other than the roof slapping around. To address the roof slapping, I went ahead and ordered 120' ft of Second Skin Damplifier with their 30% off Black Friday discount: And after talking with Ty a lot, I was persuaded to pick up some SQ Pro Audio Highs and Mids (and some personal goodies): I was planning to run one 6.5" in each door (front/rear), but I think now I'll learn to fiberglass, and put two 6.5" in each front door, the tweeters in the A-Pillars, and then run the current dash and rear door speakers off my HU. I'm also looking to pick up an SQ3500 here sometime, a G34 Duracell AGM for under the hood (I've got a crappy valuecity sealed acid one in there now that I am pretty sure is dying on me) and another G31 for in the rear, below the sub box. A new head unit is also being considered since I'm basically gonna gut the car and re-do everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
