Worklog: Two 12's and a modded 1501D

[MikeyB 5,000+ posts]

Starting a work-log for this install, my buddy just picked up a 99 Mercury Sable and he has decided that he wants to put a nice sound system in it. His budget is limited to $1500 and he came to me for some help. I picked out a bunch of parts for him and now we are waiting on everything to get shipped so we can start the install.

Heres a list of what will be going in--->

-Modded MTX 1501D

-2 12inch Alpine Type R's

-Stinger 1/0 wiring kit

-1/0 wiring from weldingsupply

-Raamat Sound deadening

-Eclipse CD3000

-Kicker DS coaxials

He is waiting till later on this summer to run a set of components up front because he is a little short on cash.

We picked up the amp off ebay for $340 shipped and received it 2 days later in mint condition. It wasn't modded when we bought it so I decided to mod it myself, the process can be found here---->http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162353

Still waiting on more parts to come but I will keep all you guys updated as we go.

As of right now he has spent $900 on everything but theres still a few things that we haven't got yet. Waiting to see if a new alternator will be necessary and possibly a battery, plus some RCA's and fuses.

Prolly running them in 5 cube tuned to 32 slot port, thinking about aeros but I really dont feel like ordering them right now. Just spent hours getting all this other stuff. Should be perfect for what he wants, he told me 2 12's and he wants it loud with a little bit of sq. This should work out perfectly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nice. is his car the more round style? if so its gonna be pretty tough makeing room for 5cu foot box after port and sub displacement(i know). post up the build pics when you get to it. Good luck with the build bro.
