ShadeTreeMechanic Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I like option two. Is that big knob beside it for the radio? 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Option 1 for me i like things hidden or factory looking as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 So option 1 and 2 are winning. I love the look of option 1 but the functionality of it there is lacking. Drinks in the way is a thing and I also have that cover pulled down and my phone sitting there almost constantly. Option two feels be best and doesn't look horrible. But the bass knob is just a hair too large to look "right" to me there. And yes that big knob and everything in that console area is radio control functions My old YouTube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/SwordLords1234?feature=mhee My old build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161872-96-accord-b2-sundown-sky-high-dc-power-re-re-build-for-heatwave/page-37 My New Build - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207041-2016-mazda-6-sql-build/ 2016 Mazda 6 Touring JL Fix 86 - OEM signal correction B2 prototype DSP 6to8 B2 Ref63 - 3 way active set 2 B2 Class H quattro's 1 B2 Zero.5R @.5 2 B2 HNv3 12 d2 B2 SLIP40 - Lithium in the trunk Northstar Group 35 under the hood 100ft 2/0 welding cable 30ft 4ga welding cable 20ft 8ga welding cable All stinger OFC speaker wire Soundrive custom RCA's Tons of attention to detail....

Jahlg64 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just a suggestion, can you get another one of the small factory knobs from the console and marry that to the control box to make it look factory and symmetrical in option 2? Using it instead of the actual knob that comes with the unit? Stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 It depends on how you would use it. Some people like a hand held lc1 to adjust it to the music and situation at the time. Me personally, there was no such thing back in the day so I would adjust the gains so everything would be booming on normal music and would operate the volume knob accordingly with bass heavy music so the bass would not max the system out. Play it by ear like flying by the seat of your pants.

Using it instead of the actual knob that comes with the unit? Stealth. I am not that bad ass of an installer. I can do some clean wiring with my OCD and tune a pretty solid SQ system but for OEM integration I couldn't even be in the same room as the really good fabricators. Ill have to find a spot somewhere in the car for this knob. It will be the only major modification visible from the driver seat unless I decide on pillars. It depends on how you would use it.

I set all my gains to clip at the same volume and use a volume control on my bass that allows the bass to pass through (like an LC1 would) but doesn't turn the bass up. Ill be battling myself with this build between something thats loud enough and something that doesn't break apart my car.

Swordlordboy1234 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Updates... Not my car.. but this is what I installed this weekend. A couple IS 12's, a B2 mono, some northstar batteries and a bunch of welding cable (and other wires in preparation for stage 2) Don't mind the way the amp is mounted. That was temporary. yes the box is secured.
