System Build

[V6rado94]

Since I am getting serious with this I thought I would get a thread going.

Plan:
Head-unit- Alpine CDA-9883
Front Stage- Phoenix Gold RSD 6CD component speakers
Sub woofers- 2 RE SE12D4
Amps- AQ1200D and Kicker ZX200.2
Box Specs: 5.5 ft^3 at 32Hz
Sound Deaden: 2 rolls RAAMat BXT
Wires: 1/0 AWG welding cable and Knukonceptz wires

Now for some pictures

Before I took all my old stuff out.














Now:






Just a start to what is about come

Now to some of the stuff I'm going to use

1/0 AWG Welding Wire














My new RE SE next to my old Alpine Type S 12


Size comparison

Design of the box.






The box is going to be 57.5" wide, 16" tall, 14" deep. Comes out to roughtly 5.5 cubic feet net, tuned to ~32hz. 75 square inches of port. 2 ports at 30.25" long. I can tune up or down a little bit. Ports are 12.5" tall and 3" wide.

This is my daily so its going to take time before I take it off the road and get started on deadening and wiring. My plans right now is to start taking it apart during my spring break to do the wiring and deadening. I am hoping going to the mount the components in the doors and do the big three around that time also. At the this point I am waiting for the last few things to come in. The only thing I have left to order is the 2 channel amp.

Hell yeah, maybe you can help with a box design, and stuff for my Tahoe...

Can't wait to hear it, if you need help with the deadener and wiring call me. I'm sure we could get it done in a day or two.

looking good man. its definitely coming together. just make sure you brace that box. you might want to try to round off those angles in your port also or you could be some port noise.

keep up the good work man.

The corners of the port will be cast-poured instead of doing a half round over.

Alright looks like my components, the rest of my wiring, and the deadening will come in mon, tues, and wednesday. I going to start deadening the from the front seats back and the roof over next weekend.

Also since I don't have to tools to build the box the way it should Dyabolical was greatfull enough to help me out on that part.

sounds good man, but if you want it built right dont let him touch it.

sounds good man. I would start in your doors first, it will make the most difference there. then move on to the back well and the back floor and use what you have left on the roof and firewall.

I don't have access to the tools to cut into the metal and stuff to mount the speakers in the doors so I figured it was pointless to do the deadening on the doors until thats done.

Since I only have access to just basic hand tools it is making this build more difficult than it really is. Unless White_Stealth is willing to give up some of his free time to help on that the only choice I have is to wait until I go to see Dyabolical. Or unless there is somebody else in the OKC area that is willing to help. So basically I trying to do what I can on my own.

you can start on your doors just leave a place on your door for where you want to mount your speakers and deaden the outer door skin and the back half of your inner door skins. you could seal up the back holes in the inner skin too. your big 3 could be done too depending on what kind of lugs your using.
