Stereo build.

[907DAVE]

Here are a few pic's of a stereo build I have recently completed. This is my first stereo build using this quality gear and the first time playing with fiberglass.

The build features:


Focal K2P UV Components
Image Dynamics IDQ12V3
Alpine H700
Sundown SAZ 1000D
Sundown SAX 100.4D


First thing was to make some mounts for the tweeters in the sail panels.

Little bit of fiberglass....

Next big project is mounting the sub. I decided to put it in the center consul seat bottom.

Should fit in there.........

Looks like there is plenty of room for travel.......

[907DAVE]

After all this I decided to ditch the passive crossovers and go active.

I decide to put the processor controller where my heater controls were originally.....

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0213.jpg

Next step was to make some mounts for it........

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0215.jpg

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0217.jpg

Test fit, needs a bit of tweaking.....

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0219.jpg

[907DAVE]

Now I need a place for my heater controls.

They should fit in the little cubby hole next to the ash tray..........

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0220.jpg

Cubby cut out and switch's held up........

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0222.jpg

Switch disassembled and face screwed on......

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0223.jpg

Switch back together.........

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt274/907dave9/Stereo/Photo0224.jpg

And everything put back together.......

Hope that was enough pictures for everyone.....:hehe:

[cj45lc]

Wow that looks great Dave. Bet you have no problems running anybody out of that truck. Looks real good

[ticopowell]

so how much fun is that center seat to sit on? :hehe: I actually have my sub in the same place, but without a seat cushion... decided I dont ahve enough people in my truck most of the time to merit the time and effort needed to make it nice like yours! :) looks great, and I hope it sounds great too!

[Pocket]

Some woman is going to be a lucky gal sitting in the middle seat. :evillol: :hehe:








Sorry, that's the alcohol talking. :smiley_roll1:

[907DAVE]

Check out this site i got my 7 inch flip out for 118 bucks.

Looks really good hows the bass? is it echoy or is it deep?

[907DAVE]

The bass is very clean and responsive. Its hard to describe, but having the sub (and speakers) setup in that position makes it feel like you are surrounded in music, you cannot tell were any of the drivers are.
