Featured Two 15"s in a Nissan 350z [WIP]

It's been a minute, and things continue to evolve.

The install is now walled with a solid increase in dB (not sure exactly yet what the official is since I haven't had it metered again since installation) but it feels like a solid 2-3dB increase.

Polished up the install overall, including a new bass controller that I designed from the ground up in CAD and 3D printed on a new Bambu X1-Carbon. Pot is an ALPS RK27 50k and feels very nice, and outputs a much cleaner signal than my previous build. There is USB Audio integration for the head unit, because having it poking out of the dash was problematic with all of the bass... it would shake the USB drive so badly it would become disconnected, so I moved it into the controller itself. You will spot the USB drive in the last image on the connection side of the controller housing.

Here's a recent video demo... IRL the mids and highs can be heard over the bass quite well and in perfect clarity (just like at the start of the video), but in the recording it sounds like a big wet fart once the bass kicks in because the phone microphone is so overwhelmed it doesn't know what's going on. 130dB is about where most mics will distort like crazy and I'm now doing close to if not a 150dB in here now.

Oh, I forgot to post the updated images from the in-dash touch-screen PC that I use to run a custom application for music and music videos. Still a prototype design and fitment and subject to change/improve... but works well for all intents and purposes.
