ST Focus build log...............again.

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Just starting a new thread because the last one got screwed thanks to a select couple assholes trolling as usual.

Also I know this is nothing special as I don't have the time I once had, so it is just put it quick, only spent a few hours on everything spread out through weeks, lol! Not to mention, I go through quite a few setups in this car. 5th one in this car in 3 years.

Thanks for looking!

Optima Redtop group 34 up front.

Knu KLM 0/1g wire all throughout install and 2 250amp ANL fuse holders.

Running of Knu power/ground wire.

Factory deck

Installing the 7500 JVC Arsenal deck.

Finshed up.

Doors with 2 layers of fatmat installed.

Still need to get some roof flashing and seal up the holes. That time thing again.

Pioneer Premier 720c comps in the front doors. And yes, I know all about the passive crossover and how most won't put it there, but have done so with 3 installs out of the 5 in this car like this with no problems of moisture and what not getting to them.

Doors finished!

These are running in the rear fill doors.

Pics of the sound deadening I did some time ago. Fatmat and SS damp were used throughout the trunk, rear deck and what not.

Hifonics Bxi 2608d amp installed.

Clarion amp for all the highs.

Another shot of the Hifonics.

Sub box built by Twisted 0912, that sounds wicked and the two 10" Pioneer Premier D2 subs with amp running at 2-ohm, so seeing around 1700rms. Subs sound so clean and thump very nice for 10's. Surprised the hell out of me. Thanks Twisted for an awesome box!

Short video flex of front window. Nothing crazy, but this is the loudest setup I have had in this car thus far. Sounding better than ever to boot!



Another vid........hard to pick up flex with my shitty point and shoot Panasonic camera. Wish my Sony was working!

Glad to see that the box worked out great.

Install looks clean but you should loose the pioneer comps, My friend has the 5.25 version of em and my 6.5 ID's shit all over em lol

Looks like you did a good job with the sound deadening too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks guys, and I could care less about the speaker placement, being that sound killer, so it is whatever. I have had tweets in sail panels/kick panels and delt with speaker placement and these sound just as good where they are at.

Also gear guy, I would love a set of ID's, but for the money these are hard to beat. On my 2nd set of them after I sold my other set last year.

Looks pretty good, you must be able to rip apart that car in no time now.

Sub box is definitely pretty beefy. Most important part of all is that your happy with it.

looks good...too bad your not close enough to buy my Focus red carbon fiber hood...it would match your interior perfect.....it never really showed right by the camera//one of the things you'd have to see....in person...but it is a perfect match on the car....I'm sorta hoping to find another 2 door hatchback with the same interior....

Yes, it don't take me much time at all after 5 installs in this, lol! Box came out tits! I was showing my friend the other day and let him hear it before he sat in it an swore it was a couple 15's, lol! Opened the trunk and he was shocked it was 2 10's. Has to be in the box! This is the loudest best sounding I have gotten the car and I have had 1 CVX, 1 Fi Q, 2 Alpine Type R's, 2 Kove Z's for a couple months and el cheapo Premier 12's.

Not much into carbon hoods and the like.

good shit man, nice flex for a pair of 10's

Thanks NA, yeah they do pretty well. Gonna see if I can find someone local with a TL. My buddy that had one last year moved to OKC, so no TL close, unless a shop has one.

I am saying it is over 144, which is what my cavalier did with my R's years ago and this to the ear anyway is louder.
