Well, I figured I would post my build progress, all I really have left is to carpet the box and do a leather arm rest. My truck had a decent sounding setup for the average person with a 10in RF P1 in a sealed box and Alpine mids, highs, etc but that just didnt cut it for me.
This build is to suit the way I want it to sound, not to win a spl or sq contest. But I do want it to hammer the low notes and have crisp clean highs.
Here is a run down of whats going on.
The equipment that will be going in and some that was already there and will be staying. * indicates new equip
Power and wiring
*30ft of 1 /0 KNU Kolossus OFC Power
*20ft of 1/ 0 KNU Kolossus OFC Ground
*5ft of 4 gauge KNU OFC power
*5ft of 4 gauge KNU OFC ground
*Tsunami main fuse holder up front and distribution fuse box for back.
*Kicker ground block
*KNU 10 gauge speaker wire for sub, 16 gauge for speakers
RF rca's, etc
2 Optima Red tops
*Monster Cable... Slim battery terminals
Stock alt (for now if it holds voltage up)
Head Unit
Alpine IVA-W200
NVE-N872A
KCA-100BT
Sub, box and amp
*one 15in FI Q, cooling option and extra spider
*3.6cu ported console box tuned to 29hz
*Sundown SAZ 1500D v.2
Speakers and amp
four Alpine Type R 5x7 coaxials in front doors and rear fill
*two Memphis 15-PR1 aluminum dome tweeters up front
Alpine PDX 4.150
Misc
Beltronics RX-75
180watt power inverter for my laptop or fax machine
Viper 771xv Alarm
I realize that there is not a super strong midbass in the setup but I do later plan on deadening the doors and whole truck and maybe that will help fill that void. I may even replace the front Alpines and put in a 6.5in component set with a sealed pod to help with that. I can say that the upper range is very clear, crisp and as loud as you want with the 4.150 running it.
The center console box design between the back seats
The vehicle
What its replacing
new stuff
where the new box will be (cardboard mockup)
Got the big 3 done, I really like the monster cable terminals
