White VY Berlina *Picture Heavy*

[sweefu]

It was a group buy that has no finished but only $280 delivered Its as good as dynamat (i am told), where as the latter is around $240 for 3.3sq metres where as the OA was 6sq metres for only $280.

Well i have a few more pics. I'm on school holidays for two weeks so have been doing some more work on the car. So far i have:
-Installed different head unit (so i can have the antenna go up/down with the use of radio) Sony CDX-Gt450S. Still old though it has Low/Mid/High/Low Pass adjustment, it is lacking time delay though
-Ran more speaker wire for rear speakers to be run off my MRV-F545
-Re soldered/heatshrunk everything where possible
-Installed Pioneer TS-A1681S 6" Coax. in the rear doors with some of the OA deadener

Still plan to:
-Re do engine bay wiring, finish Big 3 upgrade
-Seal/deaden front doors
-Build/carpet 'beauty board' to hide amp wiring
-Finish 1 FG box and get one of the Polk MM 10" subs in

Wiring Harnes.. Cut/Heatshrunk all the speaker connections

Box before trimming

Rear fill soldered/heatshrunk

Hey Dude nice ride, just a suggestion, I think u should get some 3mm mdf board and fill thee acces paneles on the doors thus turning them into a box it ill give u more punch with the door speakers..

 

[sweefu]

Thanks mate. These are just the back doors with, as you can see some coax. in them. They are very rarely switched on at all, only when i have back seat passengers which is at best once-twice a week, so i'm not going to bother sealing the service holes. Though for the front, they will be completely deadened inside and out, and i'll seal the service holes with 6mm mdf.

Cheers!

Why go to the effort of turning the rear speakers on and off dependent on passengers? Run them 100% time, easier and better sound distribution = better sound..

 

[sweefu]

All i have to to is fade it to the front 100% - takes literally 2 seconds on the H/U haha. Its actually worse for SQ, draws the sound stage to the rear..

Really nice car Sweefu. I've looked at this thread many times but never commented haha.

White doesn't look to bad . Nice and clean too

 

[luke641]

Awk true, didnt think of that. haha. My bad :doh:

What speakers you go in the front?

 

[sweefu]

DevilDrake: Thanks for the comment mate yeah white would probably have been my last choice of colour but hey its a good car haha. I am looking at a front end change at the moment, was going to go something from the VZ range but found the bonnet would have to be changed which is more than i was hoping for. So thinking of sort of VY Calais or something. Also, badges will be coming off this week, should look even cleaner haha

Luke641: In the front at present i have some Riesen 6.5inch 2 way components, handmade in the UK, they were made sort of before VIBE got bigger in Australia and are a few years old now, so i'm soon looking at either Audio Development AD6's or some Crescendo Opus3/5 off our sponsor Joe.

Cheers!
