Getting resistors ready to easily snap into place for the ambient tweets.

Now how does that work?

Now how does that work?

Rather than cutting a hole into the dash for a center channel, I am creating a solid stage using an ambient stage setup. Theses resistors will "quiet" down the ambient tweets to the point to witch they are are more of a fill for that 3-4.5 freq fill that is tough to achieve in sq.

How is auto bad? Build that auto (470rw i believe) with a good converter and clutches, or just replace it with a built C4 and it will not be outshifted by any 5-Speed, plus it will last much longer, Mustang T-5's are hand grenades waiting to go off...

O trust me Im a diesel guy and all for autos just like manuals in cars... and unless its gunna be built into a 10 second car a manual will spank his @ss part for part on the same car with a manual...

Made some tighter fitting mounts for the 6.5" woofers, ran some better wire (11 awg Ixos twisted) and installed the 8 ohm sandstone resistors.

New next to Old:

Nice fitment:

Fresh wire:

The Lt Green on White is the Pos wire so this is where the resistor will go:

Nice clean plugs:

Bracket mounted, and it is ssssssssolid:

Woofer is in its happy place:

Oooo, looking wonderful.

Picked up a Tsunami optima batt topper for the power/ground upgrade. Zapco DC Ref 650.6 looks to fit in the wheel well nicely. I will float it for better cooling. Power and ground dbs are mounted and solid, bout ready to start hooking up wires. Just have a few more things to add

In for more! Such a sick build!

I could not have asked for a better fitment. Under the passenger seat:

Few pics of how I setup the woofer wiring for plug-and-play:

Too bad these are the PRE-Be Cool no. 7s or I would have a nice cute EQ in the dash. BUT these will work just fine

Sick sick build, inspiration.

Crossovers all wired in:

Slowly working in the power/Ground wiring:

Great chassis grounding point!!! I will be cleaning this up and getting a solid bolted in 0/1 awg ground cable in here tomorrow:

Plans to fleese a shell over this mess are in the future, BUT form follows function, so I am focusing on getting it hooked up for now:

Sneek peek of what is coming up soon:

Yeah these are going to fit VERY well and allow for some PERFECT aiming. If anyone owns a SN95 mustang the dash looks like it was cut to allow for an up firing midrange

Looks awesome so far...

I didn't have much time today but here is a couple pics of the enclosure that will replace the 460 soundboard
