Is it a good idea having the amp mounted to the side of the sub box. ....?
I can't not reccomend Soundstream, i've listened to a few different components, splits, subs, ect from Soundstream, and when i compared them to other brands within the same price range, the soundstream came out trumps every time!!

Seen heaps of people do it with no problems, so i guess not

[SPLcamry]

So when i purchased the pods at Strathfield (stop going to Strathfield !!! lol) they said if they dont fit and i need them cut or something else,just come back and they would help me out. So i drew up a stencil on a piece of MDF, and took it in, and they wanted $40 to cut it !!!what a joke !! so i bit the bullet and went and bought a cheap jigsaw from Bunnings for $30 and went home and cut them myself!! Now they've got the clearance, and they also fit flush against the doorskin, before they were all wonky they they were a bit warped? i guess thats what happens when you mass produce something?? Im hoping my first attempt with Vinyl will be a sucsess

[HCVP]

So i had 5 attempts at apllying the vinyl, each one a complete disaster
So i went with some fabric similar to my door trim which i picked up from lincraft. Got a few strange looks also, walking around the store carrying a door trim lol

Now i just need to replace all the clips i've busted over the time taking the trim off...-

2 6x9 JL audio (rears parcel shelf)
2 6'' splits maby JL and putting the pioneers in the back doors and the others on the boot lid alone with the amps with carpet
1 kicker 750.5 5 channle amp
2 JL audio 12'' w3v3 subs 600rms total but way underated i think
or 2 kicker 15'' cvr 1000rms with a second mono block im still deciding tho or maby 4 pioneer 1000watt subs
my dad is also an ex audio engaineer and he will help me build the box for good resaults

[=bullet40=]

*kicker kx200.2 amp

*Pioneer TS-D1720C splits

*Mtx Thunder6000 series 12" sub

*dynamat on front doors (to do boot and rear doors soon)

not too much but sounds insane...clarity is the best in it...

Mate i wouldnt bother with the 6x9s on the parcel shelf if youre going to have subs. The main reason they make 6x9s is because they can produce more bass then a set of 6" speakers, and bass you wont need more of if youre going with 2 x 12" subs
Also, why are you going with a 5 ch amplifier if youre going to buy a monoblock to power the subs?
In my opinion (and im sure others will agree) leave the Pioneer speakers in the rear doors and power them off the head-unit, then buy a decent 2/4 channel amp to power just the front speakers.

[Luke's VX Equip]

thanks alot holdenboy seems like you no your stuff well i still want
the kicker 5 channle amp because my brother has 1 and its the best u can get
and also i want to purchase a second amp because if i am running the 2 kicker 15 cvrs it will be
to much power with 1000 rms i am looking into getting just 1 1 powerfull monoblock but its still dear and also the
6x9s i like having 6x9s in the shelf my vx is made for the 6x9 soo i cant realy modify it and plus my brother also
has them 6x9 and they are mint probly best sounding 6x9 i dont care if its an extra $50 from the 6'' its worth it and
also i want the 5 channle amp soo i can power the frount and back speakers with head unit powering the side backs
although i realy dont like 20watt rms it makes because thats what im running atm and sounds shit thanks for the advice btw cheers !

and i want the 6 speakers for more sound because with that much bass will easilly take over and i hate having to much bass and no sound i like a even amount of both .... shit load of bass, trebble and mids with quality SQL as u might no is a combination of SQ and SPL ill be shitting over everyones systems once im done haha sorry to be soo cocky lmao

[Luke's VX Equip]

Mate, I don't know they amp you are talking about personally, but if you think a kicker 4x75 + 425w amp is the best I think you will find someone has been telling you porkies. EDIT: Google soundstreams "DaVinci" amp as an example. Wasn't that 5ch? Or 7?
How many other *decent* systems have you listened to apart from your brothers?

Running 6 speakers can leave you with quite a "muddy" or messy sound I have found, and if you are running 2 of them off the headunit there is no way they will be able to keep up with the fully sik 75w the rest are getting.

Seriously, before you go buying all this, have a listen to a car with GOOD splits in the front running off a good amp and then see if you still think more is better

[StoneX]

used to make his roof flex

My roof used to flex with one sub... It'd bounce things off the roof

[-ToM-]

rearranged a few things





Just waiting for my brother to come back from work (supercheap auto) with some wires and then its done

EDIT:
All hooked up.



Thats my first real attempt and doing the boot install myself with no help.

[StoneX]

Does it sound louder facing rearward?

[-ToM-]

tiny bit louder, but the SQ is where the difference is noticed. Its no longer cancelling out my rear speakers

Mate its call RMS wattage its a continuous amount of power and thats at 4 ohms not to the rated wattage of that amp is 925 rms witch most people and even SPL designs wood agreee is a kick ass amp that probly pushes a good 2000 watts max and im totaly underating it and i have herd a good system with good splits before and i intend on doin the same and i havent herd how good this stuff is from people iv listened to it champ and i woodent even think of telling me how audio works mate i dont care what shit u pull out from ur ass who here even has a DAVINCI amp i can easyly say to you that a 18'' solo x will demolish your system because it wood demolish anyones system i think but i want my moneys worth with my system and that is 1 of the best choises plus i havent even bought it yet and ur judging me. also i said i havent decided yet on it yet thx i will look into more stuff but its still a good amp and probly the bes 5 ch amps goin round ... any true car audio person knows that kicker and jl audio are the best.. ends that
also if i get the money i willl buy an extra 2 channle amp for my sides as u can see already im spending abit as is .. also i have each speaker in stock locations and im not putting each speaker right next to each other to get a "MUDDY" sound as you said mate... as i said i am getting very good splits i like jl audio soo im probly getting them they cost around 600 retail witch im getting cheaper and my brother dose have them. i have herd other speakers and splits before nuthing compeates with them 6x9s and splits. soo i think its clear to say that I HAVE LISTENED TO GOOD SPLITS CHAMP.

Sorry if I offended you mate, but like you said, you did sound pretty cocky. I should have known better than to say that kicker and jl audio were anything less than the best

I hope one day I get to hear your system with the 6 speakers for more sound, and the best 6x9s and amp you can buy.

[StoneX]

... any true car audio person knows that kicker and jl audio are the best.. ends that ...

Hahahaha... You truly are retarded
