Audio-Concepts Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 So I did some math and more math and figured out I could just barely have enough room for my sub under my seat, so today I set out to get the sub and amp rack in the truck and get it to about 85% installed. I'm still waiting on fuses for my amps and need to make the baffles for my doors. I also need to trim around the amps and the sides of the enclosure before it's 100%, but I'm close. Got clearance, I know I barely do.

Audio-Concepts Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Front baffles update!! Ready to go in, just need to install rivnuts and wire up the mids. Then it's time to set the gains on all 3 amps and hook up the base tune to get started. I've decided to run the crossovers at 80 LP, 80-3500 BP, and 3500 HP. I think that will be a good starting point.

Audio-Concepts Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Well time for an update!!! things haven't gone quite as planned. I had installed all my speakers and amps and noticed an issue. My D60 wasnt powering up. So I figured out that the amp was blowing its internal fuse upon powering up, thus making it unusable in the install. So I used the d100 and d200 for preliminary tuning until I decided what I was gonna do amp wise. Well after a week or two I decided that it was time to spend some money and get a new amp. I was looking at a bunch of different options from running Tru Technology to Zapco, from Linear power to Mosconi. But I wanted to keep it withing a reasonable budget and not kill my bank account. So I bought a Zapco ST5XII 5 ch. Irs 80x4 and 350x1 at 4ohm. Now comes to my recent battles. I have been dealing with a turn off pop that happens when I open the door. So i first changed my ground to a nut/bolt chassis ground, didnt help. I bought a ground loop isolator, didnt help!! So now I decided to figure out the source of the pop. So I disconnected the RCA input to the DSP and directly plugged it into the amp, now the pop has become very minimal but not just seems to be coming from the tweeters. Well when i disconnected the input to the DSP I hooked it into my mid RCA jack on the amp, so the mids were popless, but the tweeters were still having a pop, whch means the source of the pop is coming from my DSP. So now I have to figure out what is causing it. Im thinking that maybe because Im using the ground off the radio that it is the source so Im going to try and rerun my ground off the DSP to a chassis ground. If that doesnt fix it Im not sure what to do. But other than that it has been up and running, just trying to troubleshoot small issues here and there.

Audio-Concepts Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well the last few months have been really busy and no real progress on the truck due to set backs and life. But middle of the year I had an issue with my DSP. I blew my tweeters when the DSP decided to have a moment, couldnt get my midbass to sound like midbass and just wasnt happy. Well things needed to be done as this was my daily and I pulled the trigger on some new components. I picked up a set of Stevens Audio 6.5" passive components and am currently running them passive bridged ch 1-2 on left side 3-4 on right side and just using the flat tune on my headunit. Already a huge difference in sound and much more lively and crisp than the Silverflute/Hybrid combo.....which was most likely user tuning error. But hear are the new components in all their glory.

Audio-Concepts Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well with the purchase of the new components my tweeter pods needed to be modified to fit the new tweeters. I had to make the mount hole bigger and open the backside to be able to get access to the mounting ring.
