The audio/video system...always changing
In process of redoing the system for a photo shoot with Performance Auto & Sound Magazine. I will be removing all 12 6.5" 3 way triaxals and 6x9"s and replacing with 12 Soundstream TRC.60C Tarantula components speakers, and 4 Soundstream SST 6x9"s.
NEW ENCLOSURE
This is the new enclosure (4th system) that I built myself. The bottom and sides are 3/4" MDF board. The enclosure has a total of 10 cubic ft of air space...4 - 2.50 cubic ft chambers. My other BOX was WAY TOO BIG and took away from the "X"... This new one looks and sounds way better... ;^)
These pic`s below are before the new setup was finished...They are here till I can get a better camera to get pic`s of the subs glowing.
*****Update 8-13-09*****
Just got my 6 new pairs of Soundstream TRC.60C Tarantula Series Component speakers and 2 new pairs of thier SST 6x9`s. These new components are Bad Ass!!!
The dust caps are clear on the component speakers...I will back light these also with my LED`s so all my speakers thruout will glow orange ;^D Here is a teaser with another color.
3D spider grills pic with LED off and with LED on
All primered and ready to go to Lucky Luciano Custom Paint in Az. for paint. Going with a House of Kolor champagne to match the outside.
After sanding with 80grit and it`s coat of body filler and
after LOTS and LOTS of sanding ;^P
Test fit to make sure everything looks good
Cut out the sides to go with my tribal scheme. Here it is all wrapped in fleece. The 2 small squares down low on each side will hold my 2 Kinetik HC 600 powercells.
One last test fit to make sure everything looks good before the fiberglass.
Here you can get a better idea of what I`m trying to achieve.
Each sub has it`s own seperated 2.50 cubic ft enclosure with a 4" x 10" port tuned to 33.82 Hz. You can see 2 of the 4 amplifiers, the rest will follow forward.
Getting 2 of the sub squares just right.
Rewired and upgraded everything in vehicle with Knu Konceptz wiring. Did "Big 3" and all power and grounds upgraded to 1/0 gauge.
Here is evrything that I installed.
2 inline fuses with mini ANL fuses...one for each of the 2 - 1/0 gauge runs to the Kinetik powercells at the rear of the vehicle. Also ran a 1/0 gauge ground from front powercells to rear ground blocks.
Konfuzed chrome positive and negative battery terminals. Digital distribution block under hood for accessories.
Grizz and Brandon of Soundstream are XXX!!! Showin off the new "XXX line" -- 15,000 watts of power amplifier and 18" sub!!!!!
2009 Consumer Electronic's Show vehicle ...Our Excursion was featured in Soundstream's booth with this setup
last setup - 3rd System - Featured in Truckin' Magazine, 2009 CES show
There are 4 amplifiers. You can see the floating amp that is suspended between the 4 subs, and the other 3 are below it in the floor with a trim panel wrapped in suede.
Just finished the lighting on the subs. There is a total of 1200 LED`s ...300 LED`s per sub and they look like their on FIRE!!
The LEDs are SPL and vibration proof and carry a lifetime warranty. Anyone interested in some, just let me know ;^)
