Here we go with a design " I HOPE I CAN COMPLETE" I really need truck space, I'm using the (2) 10" THIN series subwoofers, if they don't work, I will step with a the new JL audio thin series sub but First I need to rob a bank to pay for them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

I can't put the subs on the sides like my fisrt design because the reality is that I have a baby that still uses the stroller and those sub grills will die with the stroller in the back, at least close to the back seat I have more room to play.

What do you think, I'm used to make drawing in corel and photoshop , but I'm at work and I only have paintbrush //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif, I did my best

Back Equipment:

JL Audio A6450

JL Audio A4300

AudioControl DXS

(2) Blaupunkt THw1000 subs

This was the old setup

Here are a few pics of the //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ugly Blaupunkt 10" thin subs, I will use the black grill it came with to cover that big button logo in the center. This things are kinda heavy, I might test this sub and replace them as soon my wallet let me do it.

Here is a pic of the mess I have on the trunk, I'm deciding if I will go with (1) DVC subwoofer or (2) SVC subs. 10" or 12" I only have 220wRMS x 2. I need to test this first before start fabricating the amp rack and sub box.

The amps are staying we're they are, with a second floor and a good cooling system.

PS:The amps are screwed in and are not crocked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif , they look crocked on the picture because of the camera lens

I'm going to use in the mean time this scosche 500k capacitor, to help a little the dimming on the cabin lights, until I save for 2 new kinetik batts. The rockford 1 farad was confiscated by my cousin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Calibrating the system is a real PAIN in the behind, every gain setting is different for each set of speakers, plus I have to play with the DXS gain settings too to maintain even sound on all the speakers at all volume levels.

Because the midranges are 8ohm I have problems matching the sound to the other speakers on diffent volumes. They sound louder at one point and they totally die in lower lower volume, they're GREAT but the amplifier reacts different on 8ohms. With the JL Slash series I won't have this problem. I ordered some 4" full range speakers 4ohm to make a test. And I will replace the VC100 tweeters for the Daytons RS28A's that I have here. Plus the RS180 are coming out and the RS225 in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

New updates on the CARPUTER is that the motherboard I have now is big and I really don't whant to put it in the trunk, longer cables give me loss in video quality and can pick up more noise, so I bought on ebay a small motherboard used for car pc and I can fitted behind the 8" Touchscreen LCD. I don't want to sacrifice my laptop for this install yet
