    I know it has been a while but i finally got the doors started...and finished.  The system consists of:
    Factory Headunit (Sony)
    Pac AmpPro AP4-FD21 Interface (Using optical output)
    Audiocontrol DM810 DSP (way more than i need now but expandable for later!)
    B2 Audio Reference 4 Channel (Class A or AB (Switchable)) on the Mids/Highs
    B2 Audio Rage 2500.1 on the Subwoofers
    B2 Audio Reference 6.3 Three-Way Components (Custom Starboard HDPE Adapter Plates)
    (6) B2 Audio 6.5" Subwoofers in a Gately Audio ported, under seat enclosure.
    SMD Quick Release Neo Magnet Terminal (to take box out at night or when space is needed)
    SMD Fuses, Fuse Blocks and Power Distritubion
    Skyhigh Power Cable
    SMD RCA (From DM810 to amps)
    NavTV FD 360 Camera Control 
    Second Skin "Damp Pro" sound Deadener
    Wiring harness used Pac APH-FD01 (to get into the doors). 

     I pulled my boot and door plug out to try to find a way in through the molex plug like i normally would...but there isn't room for ANYTHING.  I think because my truck is fully loaded all the contact points are being used.  When i go fully active SOON, i will drill the necessary holes and run new wires. For now, this works GREAT!
    I know this was a long video, but if you watched it all, thank you!  I will make a video soon doing some basic tuning to get this thing souding even better! I also have a BRAND NEW improved Gately Audio under-seat box i am going to swap in.  The one i have now is a prototype, one of the originals and he has since improved them.  I have it at the shop ready to go! And then, i am going to put 4 8" subs in another under-seat box after that! I have plans in the future to expand the system that is why i used the Audiocontrol DM810 DSP.  It has way more channels than i need right now but i would rather have too many than not enough! And YES, i will probably eventually switch to fully active.  Right now, i just wanted it all working and sounding good..and it doesn't just sound good, it sounds GREAT. And it's still flat! I can't wait to throw some pink noise in it and an RTA! Stay tuned! And make sure you hit the notification button, i have lots of fun stuff for 2020 planned!

    Jaybird is a good friend.  Back in the day he loaned me $140 bucks to buy "Bass Box Pro" so i could elevate my speaker box game.  He said "someday, you will hook my system up in return".  So here is his $140 install about 20 years later. If this isn't the ultimate payback, i don't know what is.  Thanks for watching the series! If you enjoyed it, make sure you subscribe and turn on your notifications! I have more coming up soon!

    Next video, i will DYNO this amp and then open it up. If you want to see the guts, hit like and say so! this amp is TRULY a masterpiece inside and out!  Turn your notifications on!
    YOUTUBE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE ANGLE BRACKETS IN THE DESCRIPTION SO I CAN'T PASTE ALL THE DATA. FOR MORE INFO INCLUDING THE FULL PDF SPEC-SHEET VISIT: https://damore-engineering.myshopify....
    The A1500.4 is a True Dual Stereo Design providing better stereo separation and imaging as compared to traditional stereo amplifiers - the chassis being the only thing common between channels. In an effort to provide the very best signal to noise ratio and lowest distortion possible, 109 dB (A-weighted) and 0.027% THD+N the amplifier utilizes a Mirror Image Design with positive and negative output signals of each channel generated using identically mirrored circuitry. Each of the two channels is also a mirror image of the other. A1500.4 operates the current amplifier devices in class A/B operation and the voltage amplifier devices in pure balanced Class A mode offering a realism and truth to the source never before available from a mobile power amplifier.
    From a design standpoint, the A1500.4 utilizes separate PCBs for the voltage amplification stage (and each of the 4 channels has its own) and current amplification stage to maximize the signal to noise ratio so that it's dead silent. It has been designed from the ground up around the highest quality components available at any cost, including; Nichicon Fine Gold™ capacitors, Nichicon Muse™ audio capacitors, (8) On-Semiconductor complementary bipolar junction transistors per channel, and non-inductive resistors, all assembled on 4-layer heavy copper PCBs! Its dual stereo channels can be wired as two single channels with double the output voltage for applications where high power is required. Finally, it includes two pair of gorgeous LED output meters to indicate actual amplifier power for each of the 4 channels as well being used for self diagnostics during a fault condition.

  7. Delicious Candy Blue SMD Escalade Bagged on 26's (Update 6) Blacked Out  


    Installations - Started by ,

    Throw back time! Look at this beast!!
     
    The weekend is here and i decided to snatch up Chickens Caddy from the paint shop  (Autobody Workshop, Sacramento, California) for a few days to get it all put back together again.  Since you have seen it last, i added brand new LED Tail Lights, tinted Headlights, and got the door panels and A pillar's back in place.  Roy Devore, the man responsible for laying down the Candy, also shot the tail lights for me with a blend of clear with black.  It worked out great! After i got the system up and running, i called Mike at Tint 2k in Sacramento to come by and black out the windows.  We ended up going with 5% all the way around on the 4 doors (i previously did the rear 3 myself) and 30% on the windshield.  He wont drive this too much so its fine.  Its fine anyway, its not as dark on the inside as it looks.  You can see fine.  Anyway, i just thought i would show you guys how this thing is turning out and what it looks like in the California sun.  I still have work to do, i am adding Ridetech Titanium Shocks on all 4 corners starting next week.  I also have a few nick nacks to handle and it should be ready to finally go home!
    Just in case you didnt know what those amps in the back are, they are 2 Rockford Fosgate T15k Amplifiers.  There is 8 Fi BTL 18's and all Rockford Fosgate Mids/highs. Windows PC 10.2" Touchscreen and more....basicly the works.
    It is sitting on custom one-off, staggered 3 Piece Wheels by AZA ( http://www.azaforged.com ) wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 295/25/26" Tires. 
    Upoholstery is by Sean Kat, Kat Kustom Interiors Sacramento.  I did some of it myself, but the stitching was all Sean Kat.  
    Brakes by Wilwood: 16" Rotors 6 Piston calpers front , 14.5" 4 Piston Rear.... 
    Paint of course by Roy Devore [email protected] if you have any questions 

    The song used in the end is by Dee of Hallway productions - he just dropped his mix tape the other day.  It is available for download here http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/boar...
    Hallway productions has been down with SMD from day one so do me a favor and hit up their channel at http://www.Youtube.com/HallwayProduct... and subscribe!

    Installations - Started by ,

    My last dash cam looked really good and worked for about a week. Then one day i opened up the files to see if something from just that same morning was on it. Surprise, all the files were messed up, dates wrong, random misc video's and nothing current. 2nd time in a row that camera did that to me. So i threw it in the boneyard and haven't thought about it till just a few weeks ago. I saw the Blackvue and knew right away i wanted to try it. I hope in a few weeks when i crack it open again, i see everything i need to see! At the end of the day, i hope i never need to use this. But if i do, i hope the files are good. Thanks for watching!
