Post your car audio system and pictures

I actually havent put the 6x9's in yet, but ive heard them in my mates VP and they sound great
You could put 6x9's in your parcel shelf instead of in boxes, there should be 2 plates to pop out to accomodate for them (done it in a friends VY, guessing it would be the same).
As for the door speakers, i would change them anyway, the stock speakers arent known for their sound quality

haha yer i mainly dont wanna change them as im lazy and cbf running amp lines to them hahaha XD but yer the only reason for boxes on the 6x9's is to have them facing the front and maybe out the windows to see how my neighbors like me latest tracks

[showbags]

Just a small update. PDX amps installed, got rid of the headunit power pack an the Jaycar mono block.

HAHA didnt we have an argument on another thread about jaycar and alpine amps :P

nice clean install by the way

Lol. No argument there. The entry level alpine stuff is a little bit ordinary compared to the Jaycar stuff. I've used them in the past and have nothing bit praise for their gear, but unfortunately they didn't fit in with my install, plus I got them at a rediculusly low price.

This is a setup for my VY Wagon exec. I have done everything myself.

I'm running a Sony USB H/U with 2 preouts (It's the same as the CDX-GT600UI just without bluetooth and band 7)

Alpine Type R splits in the front 110rms each (tweeters in the door).
Alpine Type S splits in the rear 80rms each (tweeters in the door).

2 x Sound-stream SST 12/2's DVC 300rms each in a ported Kicker comp box.

Fusion 4 channel amp CA-AM41200. 4 x 110rms @ 4ohm
Pioneer Mono-block GM-D8500M 1 x 600rms @ 2ohm

4 Gauge wiring all round. 4 gauge power to the distro block. 4 gauge power to both amps. 2 x 8 gauge ground in a 4 gauge lug for both amps.

Amps are mounted to my cage.

This setup so far has cost me around $1700 plus many hours of labour

Heres the pics.

Hellll yes, finally a solid sound quality installation! Are you using the foam as a mould for FGing? SB Acoustics tweeter? >.< Top work man, keep it updated!

[sweefu]

Yep, spot on mate. This is just a trial, I have a few more spheres to cut up and use for the final product. Once it's all shaped and angled correctly, I will coat it in epoxy resin (apparently polyester resin will just melt the polystyrene), then fill/shape some more etc. Unsure on finish yes, possible some black vinyl similar to the dash.

[MAG00]

Very interesting project you have ahead of you. You could even modify the dash vent where the stock tweeters are and somehow position them there, may look a bit more standard. Are you going to be running 2 or 3 way for the season?

[sweefu]

I could do mate, but I think it would be difficult to get a nice angle, using the spheres it's very easy to get a good angle, then make them fit "in" as best I can from there. Sticking with 2-way active for this season (Unless the stereo bug bites again/I find a giant pile of cash). I might consider a 3-way later, but the challenge of 2-way is too fun. Using the SB17 midwoofer and SB29 neo tweeter, still using the Alpine 9855R for processing.

Pillar plans revised, as follows now

[sweefu]

Pillars finished! 15 hours.

[showbags]

Nice work sweefu. Now for " yes officer, of course that's factory"

Haha, I'd be surprised if I get in trouble for it. My friend who I helped mate these has 140mm O/D tweeters in his A pillars which are much smaller than mine, I know people with massive mids/tweeters as part of their 3 way front stages without any worry.

[MAG00]

Bloody hell that was a quick turnaround! aha

Very nice looking pillars Are your roof plastics all black right back to the C pillar or just the A pillar trim?

[sweefu]

It was indeed haha pretty much 5 hours every afternoon for 3 afternoons, the guy I was working with is amazing, he would work from 530am until 430pm, get home then work with me until 930 at least, though today it was raining, he finished work early so we could finish early. The rest of my trim is standard, cream colour (roof lining, C pillar trims etc) only the A pillar is black, the vinyl matches the dash nicely. I like the contrast, there will be proper pictures after the competition on Saturday.

someone give me pics of a vn-s with a 15, amp, fuel system, battery and spare wheel

[troykinsvt]

pioneer head deck
2 1000 watt kingwood cheapos in the parcel shelf
2 340 watt ? pioneer speakers in the front
2 more 500 watt kingwood in the rear door
sony amp for them
2800 watt audiovox amp for subs
2 800 watt cadence orange subs

its a cheap setup but it actually pumps

[showbags]

Some new goodies turned up today.
PXA-H800 processor
PDX 2.150 amp ( for front mid bass duties)
KWE-610A optical cable
Still waiting on my SPX-17PRO to turn up though.

Time to redo my boot install. Let the games begin.

[showbags]

Started on my new boot install today. My main objective with this install is to have all of my equiptment hidden in the floor, but have a removable panel so that I can display it as well. I still want to carry a full sized spare and not have to remove subs or amp racks or anything on the side of the road to get at my spare. So to day I've cut all of my MDF panels and trial fitted my amps and processor to see if it's going to work.

Top stuff! I actually love the finish you've achieved with that vinyl, it's so perfectly trimmed Makes me want to do mine!

Hours of dedication and practice! The person who I helped make them has made 30+ sets of A pillars from start to finish, including trimming.
