Maxima - Audio Build *N00bie*

LoL it's okay kinda big...like thick. I'm not gonna tell ya how much I paid lol all I can say is I got it new so it was more $ than I wanted to spend on it haha my mistake
Hmm...

My rear seats do fold down, but I wanted to have the sub fire towards the trunk lid so u're able to see it. If it really really gets on my nerves like the 6.5 free air stock sub rattles then I'll turn it around lol thanks for the tip //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
You should have bought "The Law"s EA4000 from the org. Good amp to power the Rainbows, for the price.

DON'T FORGET TO PRE-DRILL THOSE SPACERS!

 
Update: 3/29/07
Next are the spacer rings made from mdf for the doors. Thanks to an org member for these! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

D@mn, those are pretty. Looks like good craftsmanship by whoever made them for you...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Hey if you want I could build you a nice box for that Q. Probably for less than the shop will do it for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Hit me up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and lets see I'm lookin for something custom-ish and built to 2.5 cu ft.

I really want it stealth somehow.

phenryiv1 - I got the Arc Audio KAR 400.2 for the Rainbows, which should be good for now. By the way the mdf is shiny was it sprayed with something? I was going to spray clear coat on it so that it won't absorb water, but wasn't sure if you did that already lol. No prob I'll remember to pre-drill em //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Thanks!

I might have used that board to keep me from getting polyurethane on my floor. I'd just spray right over it.

 
I'll be spraying the spacers this week. Didn't get to them last time since I spent too much time modding my tail lights.

Does any one know if Second Skin Audio gives out discounts to CA forum members?

I'm thinking of ordering 80ft of Damplifier and 1 or 2 Gallons of Sludge...and I'm short on funds as the deadline to get everything together nears lol. If you read this Anthony let me know if you do discounts!

Sometimes we get deals from vendors on Max.org so that's why I wondered //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Update: 4/17/07 Just a few more goodies!

I've ordered 14ft of VB-2HD from ImageDynamicsStore on Ebay, this is to do the outter doors. The order should be in by this week or next week.

I plan to do the inner doors in Damplifier + Sludge. Same for the trunk.

Here I have some Cascade Audio deflex speaker sound deadening.

2 sets of Monster Cable 25ft speaker cable

Then the realllyy sexy HU...

Pioneer Premier 780MP!

I'll be modifying the dash kit so that it looks more OEM than aftermarket. At the moment the HU doesn't sit flush with the kit with either trim ring. So I'll be leaving in the dash kit trim ring and cutting where possible to fit the Pioneer trim ring. Sounds weird, but it'll look good when I'm done!

 
//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Nissan has a dash kit you can buy that will fit with that HU, comes with the extra pocket (should you choose to order that as well). Its looks pretty OEM considering it is OEM //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Im sure you can dig it up.

Ah I know DaveB(works with Nissan) from Max.org has it, it's the GXE dash kit. But it costs a lot more than I originally thought it would.

I like to modify things anyhow haha so it should be fun //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

nice and compact!
Yeah, and unlike Arc's SE series you can actually reach the adjustments without have to remove the smallest screws ever to be placed on an amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif Nice amps but ive had the urge to put a few rounds into them.
