LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Ok so here's part of the reason that lexus took so long-I had to bang this lil mug out b4 I could get rollin on the lexus I posted a lil while back. 1988 Ford POS Mustang 5.0 Criteria: Cost of labor AND parts about around $1k cuz Homie's a broke mofo. but "gotta have beat" Kenwood KAC 9152D sub amp Kenwood KAC 8452 4chann Alpine CDA 9856 w/ iPod cable Cadence MMX-5 5 1/4" comp set up front (ditched the x-overs cuz they are HORRIBLE and burn up) Cadence momentum series 4" rears 2-Fosgate HX2 12's (dual 4ohm) Yes this is the exact same setup as that lexus minus 1 sub amp and 12's in stead of 15's and sealed not ported here's the who-ride. The box+amp rack (both done in light-grey vinyl) Amp rack Trim panels installed The front mids I just threw in 3/4" mdf "pods" in the doors. The nasty "x-overs on top" was ok cuz he dint kno anybetter and they ended up gettin chucked and ran off amps x over only and sounded better that way anyhoo. Lemme kno what ya think-& yes i know "bulkmaster" on the pods but he likeded em.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Like I said, he dint kno any better and I was running negative on time. The system is at least 10 times what that ride "deserves" but oh well. The xovers got yanked completely in the end so imagine the same pod w/ no xovers and thats how it looks now. For some reason those lil cadence x-overs kept burning up/melting at the top end. I swapped him out twice for new ones on the driver side and they burned every time. Only idea might be defective run of x-overs (any body heard anything?) or that speaker's resistence was all whacko (low) and it was pullin more power from amp than it shoulda? Not sure. No carpet in the ride btw. doors were pretty trashed too and he was "gettin new ones soon" so i dint go crazy on the mid mounting-just simple and replaceable that would git 'er done for the time being.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanx for the kudos/props. I was hesitant to post it and show then jenky doors but it was more a "test run" of the lexus setup than a shot at perfection. All the issues I had on the 5.0 got remedied in the lexo. score. Saw Steves post about "old setups" and pics floatin round so i figg'd yall might want some more pics. enjoy... or not.
