2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited RockStar Designs, Rocky does some outstanding work here in Houston
I am pulling everything out and starting over with an almost clean slate. My rebuild will include some different equipment and adjustment’s made to excising install. Directly below is my current equipment list.
Head Unit:
-Alpine 7990
Current Doors:
-Jordan X125’s in the doors
-DLS 3” dome midrange in the kicks off axis
-Rainbow Cal 27’s in the sails off axis
-2 ½ boxes of second skin installed in each door.
-fiberglass risen sealed
-close cell foam between the door skin and panels
-custom made baffles to house 6.5’s
-Custom door skins IMG_2054.jpg photo12.jpg
-My trunk has been rebuilt many times over and I just can’t get it to look good and function at the same time. I have a woodshop out behind my house and it’s not unusual for my car to be parked there Friday after work and pulled out late Sunday in time to go to work. My amp fetsih doesn't help ether.
Changes made to excising equipment
Speaker wire
Power wire
Ground wire
RCA’s
Changes to MB
- AT 23i's the first one should be here this weekend with the second one still in the factory. I don't know much about them other than a few reviews. This part of the rebuild has me most excited because I’m moving from 6.5 midbass to a 9” midbass.
Changes to amps
-Brax graphic 2x135 to push the tweeters
-Brax Graphic 2x135 to push the midrange
-Brax Graphic 2x200 to push the AT23i's
Processor
Arc Audio PS8
Expected to ship on the 24th

Looks good, nice equipment. I went from a high end 6.5 to a 9" in the doors and it's a night and day improvement, I'm mad I did not do it years ago. I'm also going from an MS8 to a PS8. I'm sure you will have a PS8 before me so I'll be following this closely to hear your impressions.
'84 GN 10.60@ 127mph. Infinity 3.5 coaxials and a cheap Sony HU.
Wait wait, you mean I can finally order my Arc from somewhere in hopes of getting one soon? Someone please point me in the right direction to make this happen. Nice list of equipment current and even nicer new equipment.
The Brax hasn't got here yet. I'll post pics when it shows up. Those AT23i's are going to take some big time mods to get in them doors. I didn't realize how heavy they were going to be.
we've had our tailgate team since 2002 and there was like 6 of us when it started. Now we have over 40 and today we won HEB tailgater of the week. Congrats to the Boozehound tailgate team. If any of you are in the yellow lot. Come hang out, drink some beer and eat some of this food.
Lol, things are going busy to say the least, I finally got the cld/ccf/mlv in after yanking the whole interior. Ran the signal/speaker/remote wires as well all tucked away. That's it for progress, I'm hoping to get the amp rack done when I get back from Vegas.
Today the Brax showed up. I must say that this amp has been a dream amp for me. It's just so damn sexy inside and out. And yes I'm sleeping with it tonight.
You have good taste in equipment my friend!! Its gonna be a beast after its all said and done!
I think we would all like to see what's in your closet. Your the one with the bar set so high. Erik too, that guy has enough high end gear to build 6 cars and a golf cart.
Any red blooded male audio head would
sleep with that thing! I would have to install
it naked, without the cover so as to look up
the skirt of that thing at all times..... If I could
get the covers off my Blades I would do the
very same.
Here's my family getting ready for bed and looking at me like I've lost it. Lol I told them to stay away from the east side of the house, so they're piled up in the kitchen with my daughters head in a Mexican dog butt. We thought the dog was stupid for about 3 weeks after my daughter brought home this mutt. Then she started talking in Spanish, and the dog sits, lies down... Hence, Mexican dog. The other dogs is a legal alien, glowing eyes and all.
