graham0599 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Love this build and all the detail you're putting into it. I wish I had your persistence, I always just say screw it and cut small corners bc I just want to hear it play. haha One thing I thought of though is on the dsp RCA's, what if you mads them loop almost like a "p", might help keep them from sticking out as much. Either way it'll look good, especially once it's all tessa taped My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 That's not a bad idea bro! I'll give them a little twist and see how it works out. Generally the wires wouldn't be in a bad spot how they are. The RCA's would be over the AC/heater vent exits under the seat. Technically the B2 DSP is in the line of fire and the way I plan on mounting this (and protecting it from careless feet) then the rear passenger side foot well will not have heat or AC. Considering how many times I have passengers I don't see that being an issue the 2x a year I'll have passengers back there AND need to cool or heat someone's feet 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....

Swordlordboy1234 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well I have some updates. A few goodies Also some ideas on my 3 way. Here is a sneak peak. I also started doing this. Just grouping it at this stage. More to come. Then I did this. Same treatment to my RCA's 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....

Swordlordboy1234 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Then I found some heat shrink over at Altex. And techflex time BAM! And both colors. More wire goodness. I also decided to upgrade a CE auto electric relay I also did a poor drawing of an idea I had. This will be the beauty panel that covers the seal off of the subs. Modeled the shape after the grill of the car. I will also find a good way to copy the 6 And started looking for trunk ideas Debating a volt meter location 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....

DLHgn Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Those 12volt metalworking items look AMAZING. Good job with all the tech flex and test tape. Looks professional and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thats a crap ton of tesa tape. I love the cling film they have, great for covering rocker panels and masking areas for fiberglass Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well its that time again. I took the 4 day thanksgiving weekend and worked on my car some more. I got a TON done. Id say the car is over half way from being done. Also... SHOUT OUT to mazda for being such a awesome car manufacture. You will see in the pictures shortly but this car was practically made for the wiring and equipment that I installed this weekend. It worked beautifully. anyways... picture time. There is a lot. This was where I started in the morning. Then I started ripping out the interior and laying down some sound deadening. The floor of this car won't need much. I chose to do about a 70% coverage in this area with 2-4 layers of deadener depending on what "felt right". Ever wonder what a entire 2016 mazda 6 interior looks like in a small room? Well now you can mark it off your list. You can see here I put some Overkill pro between the stock AC ducts. They rattled around a little too much for my liking so this is how It went. I also found some gaps in the B pillars that I put a bunch of foam into. This was mainly just to stop sounds from echoing around inside it. Needed a break so i went and soldered up my VM1 inside so I could run the wire and tap into my DSP / volt meter cluster.

Swordlordboy1234 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Forgot a picture of the floor deadened with CDL and some Luxary Liner pro laid down. I did this same treatment on both sides. I still have more but the fitment of this car is TIGHT so i did not want to just go laying expensive vinyl all crazy just to remove it later. The volt meters temporary home. I want to fab up a small plate that fits in this location for it. But for now its chilling there all wired up. On the topic of that Volt meter / DSP cluster. Here it is. It is 14ga primary OFC, RED, BLACK, WHITE, BLUE...twisted using the drill method and then wrapped in Exterior Tesa Tape. Back to the volt meter install. This is where I pulled it through. I used some of the Tesa sticky foam tape to route it along the inside of the console. You will see this tape used a lot. Its white and cloth like but the adhesive is SERIOUS. You will see a few pictures of it holding 2 runs of 2/0 welding cable. LOL. Anyways. Its great stuff. Everything in the car is secured using Tesa Tape of some kind.. After I deadened the floor with CDL I decided to run my wiring on the opposite sides of the car. In this picture you can see my 2 runs of 2/0 welding cable... tech flexed in different colors for identification reasons and nicely routed up the driver side. I secured them every 6 inches or so... Now this picture looks simple but there is a ton of work to get what you see here. If you look carefully you will see a bundle of speaker wire Tesa Taped up above along OEM wiring and you will see the 2/0 runs routed very cleanly around the kick panel and up to the firewall grommets. Oh and my awesome girlfriend flush mounted my JL control knob for me. Looks AWESOME.
