Stereo build.
 
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....

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/t.../Photo0213.jpg

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

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

907DAVE Wed, December 15th, 2010 02:56 AM

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/t.../Photo0220.jpg

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

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/t.../Photo0222.jpg

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

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/t.../Photo0223.jpg

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

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