[DazzaXJ96]

Very interesting and timely given I am on a similar (& simpler) project. I'm going for spacers and cut the trim rather than the sheet metal. Is the accustic insulation your using to keep your music in or keep external noise out?

i have to sound proof mine but damm i wasnt gonna do it that much! also that stuff aint cheap! 300 i was quoted for enough to do the roof, 2 front doors and the rear boot door. thats just supply not fit.

it's there to do both Dazza. haven't had a chance to drive it around since i put the deadening on, but while idling it's a bit quieter. i still have to do the rear quarter panels and the floor under the cargo area. i don't know if i'm going to do the roof since it's too much of a hassle.
up do this date, i've spent $200US on deadening and fitted it myself
it's the most expensive part

[AussieRCBasher]

ouch. yeh im still loooking around for same stuff but cheaper brand.

Can u do a full write up on what speakers and rms powers and what brands and stuff your using. aswell as sizes? cheers.

Are you gonna run them in the rear roof still? Or not?

Cheers

Head unit : Alpine 9813. bought it used, locally. it can do a 3-way crossover (subwoofer + midbass + tweeter) and time alignment.
Amplifiers : Kicker kx400.1 (subwoofer amp, ~450wrms @ 2 ohms), Eclipse EA4000(front stage amp, 4*75wrms @ 4 ohms)
Front stage speakers : 2 Mach 5 MLI 6.5 midbasses , 2 Seas silk dome tweeters , subwoofer : TC sounds 12inch flatcone, 300wrms (that's conservative, i've dumped 500 on it and took it like a champ).
i will only be using the fronts, the rears will stay in place, but will be disconnected.
EDIT : i suck at write-ups

[AussieRCBasher]

ahh cool cheers for that.

Im running atm:

Deck: Sony Xplod CDX-F5700
Front: RF 5.25" 2way components
Mid roofs: Pioneer 6" bullets
Rear Shelf: pioneer 6x9's
Subs: Pioneer 305C 400rms each.
Speaker Amps: Axis 5chan 500watt
Sub Amp: Jaycar Responce 1x500rms @ 4ohm

not too bad, needs a little improovment on tuning.

i'm curious as to why you're still running the 6x9's since you have rears and subs.
other than that, seems like a nice system
remember, it's 5% product, 90% labour and 5% beer
head unit is finally in

i'm waiting for some aluminum rings from the shop to be able to mount the 6.5's and start tuning
