Rebuilding my whole vehicle (Audio system that is)

Gear

Amps
BC2000
BC1100.4

Subs
Two SSA Audio 15"icons

Mids
X65 mids

Highs
4 Vifa Softdome Tweeters

Ive already done deadner through most of the vehicle and will probably add some to the florr and rear wall once the subs go in.

I will have everything but the second sub in a few weeks. As for now ill be working on glassing in the tweeters to the A-Pillars.

I like that box. Where are the amps going to be? If you can put a raised section on the box that you can mount the amps on and hide the wires underneath that would be nice. Or maybe on the rear doors?

[Iosias]

They will be mounted to the rear wall, I left enough for (well supposed to be lol.)

[itsblown]

are the 4 tweets going in the pillars and why did you choose to point them different directions?

[Iosias]

Yeah the pillars, One on each side is pointed at the rears pillars and the other are pointed at opposite window. As to why I did this? Not a 100% positive lol.

[keep_hope_alive]

he did it so he can switch between the two and see which one he likes more for a soundstage, then run both for more sheer output.

[Iosias]

^Yes that...

Finished, look better in person

On the order status page should be a generated shipping label and awaiting shipment if its still being built.

Have another battery coming to replace my yellowtop and more terminals like in the picture above.

[Iosias]

Well my C1100.4 had two bad channels, was told by SSA its a warranty issue. Which is pretty BS considering it is brand new and they sold it, generally places take something DOA back and send out a new one. Im stuck waiting for a response from Crescendo for warranty. Currently have my ID Q450.4 hooked up and am really happy with the quality from the Vifas in the A pillars.

Waiting on second SSA Icon to be finished so I can finish off this build and save a bit for a 80Prs.

Oh yeah got the D3400 in also, waiting on Tool maker terminals for it currently. **** Holidays.
