bcbrassard Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Another HU shot. And yes that is a Bass Boost knob. I don't mind boosting some music that lacks bass at lower level and was dd-1 properly so it doesn't distort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Pic of RF Prime 250x4 under the seat with plenty of clearance. I like raising the amps up off the floor, good cooling and great wire management. I used the seat cross member support on the floor board to run wires thru, took careful measurements to have power, speaker & RCAs come up out of the carpet to there amp locations without touching or crossing each other. Its important to me to figure that out while running everything. Part of the OCD and what eats up time. Most people are probably thinking 76 hrs for a HU, 2 amps & 10 speakers seems like a excessive amount of time but i have done enough builds now to know that the little stuff is important and not to rush it. Very pleased with this amp and it performance. First Prime 4 channel i have used and well worth the $100. It was a perfect choice for this build, and having the donated Prime 1000.1d made the prime series for matching a no brainier. Birth sheet was 320 ish so it is another under rated RF AMP.

bcbrassard Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Lots of clearance on the Prime 1000.1d also and it performs good. Was bought in 07 for my son's Tahoe build and been in one other system since. So glad it still works well, i think it was about a $200 amp when i bought it.

Passenger side. Same on the mounting. Dash shot of both tweeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 And the sub stage. These older P2 12's still sound good. They get shit rattling inside. 500 watts off the P1000.1d. They way i have the boost set you can near turn the bass off when its all the way down. It only takes a little movement to get out put. I moved the enclosure all the to the left for some storage next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 The daughter picked it up a couple hrs ago, i went over the whole system with her. Told her the do's and don't with bass knob, volume max setting, and to never go into the audio menu to change anything. I explained the dd-1 process and how all music isn't recorded the same so she will have to learn to use her ears when listen to music and when it starts to sound distorted at close to max volume. She seemed very pleased with it. I gave her the manual to study and sync her Iphone up with HU. She said mondays her day off and can stop by for tweeter mounting, play with the puppies and hang out. Showed her how to use the heater jumper until the switch comes. Gave her advice not to wang in her neighborhood, let the cabin of the car warm up some before turning volume up high. Told tell people about your system, and dont let anyone control the volume or mess with setting. I said pretend this is your bank account and don't let anyone fuck with it.
