I am anxious to hear how you think the DIYMAs sound. This should be a very nice install.
First few pics of New Equipment. Alpine/DIYMA/LPG/Adire
First few pics of New Equipment. Alpine/DIYMA/LPG/Adire: UpDated!
![]()
This is a few pictrues of my new equipment thats currently being installed into my Scion tC, just to name a few that would be.
Alpine IVA-W200 on top with optical/Ainet connection to PXA-H701.
2 Next 2.400's, 1 Next 4.400, only 1 amp shown.
Adire Extremis 6.4 on far outside.
DIYMA 2" Preproduction Dome midrange.
LPG 26na
DIYMA 12" Ref Not shown. Hopefully to have pictrues of it soon.
I hope to have more pictrues soon, of my actual install in progress, but heres a little play by play.
W200 is installed for a few weeks now, H701 is connected in the rear with optical/Ainet connections, power to 2/3 of my amps, Front stage amps gains are set with DMM, Tweet by Ear, Midrange set to 17v, Midbass 25v, subwoofer will be 44v after new wiring from dblock back are replaced and installed.
domes in kickpanels, FG sub enclosure, still trying to figure out how to hide my amps better, and more stealthy, right now there situated on my back seat across the rear. 3amps total.
Ran all wiring (going to be pulling the wiring from the Dblock back in the chain and replacing them with longer strands so that i can rightfully position my amps under the rear floor.
FG kickpanels aimed/glassed, bondoing today, almost about to start ensoliting/deadening/vinyling kickpanels to match interior, going to fabricate some type of better grill to protect the domes from feet.
FG sub enclosure mold is 1/4" thick, and cut to shape, will be buying mdf soon for front baffle/ring, extensive interior absorption will take place using deadener/acoustic foam, eggshell foam for a very dampened and sturdy enclosure, still looking for carpet to match interior for sub enclosure. Will order Vinyl and Carpet together.

Build pics will be updated as soon as i have them. The install is pretty far along right now, but what i have done can easily be shown, so pictures will show all.
Pics will be updated accordingly, these are the only 2 i have though so far, others will be soon though. Diyma Sub pics will be shown then as well.

Got a few more pics i just took with my Webcam.......there not exactly install pictures, but its my Left kickpanel after bondo, almost ready for ensolite/vinyl. The rights bondo is still drying then will be sanded down like the left. Also as well as a few pictrues of my Diyma Ref 12, has yet to see power and enclosure is still in progress.
Also the Diyma 2" Dome is positioned in the kickpanel, firing across the interior at eachother for best absorption on the upper end from stray reflections and possible beaming. I tried more on axis mounting, but the upper end reflections messed up my image rather bad, so more offaxis was needed, this being my end results with aiming.

First off i'm going to start with some general pics of the W200. As you can see the functional cover works perfectly after adjusting the player back a little in the brackets.

Next up is the Front stage........I'm still lacking the vinyl over my kickpanels as well as an aesthetical grill cover for the Extremis 6.4's in my doors, this will be a press on type of grill to cover the perferated stock grill portion. Foam will also be injected around the back of the door panel and added baffle for wave absorption to keep all sound from behind the panel.
I'm VERY happy with how this front stage images, i can't wait to get the Diyma Ref 12 in the rear to really add to that upfront bass effect.....it sounds amazing.

For the rear, i positioned my amps on the rear seat for the time being, untill i could figure out somewhere more stealthy to put them. The D-block was positioned on the Left wall. The H701 was positioned under the rear floor on the right, along with the Grounding block. Wooden piece will be carpeted black. Subwoofer will go on Right.

I hope this will suffice for now on my build up, hopefully i will be finished in the next week or 2 with all fabrication, and i can really present the car like i would like.
Hope you enjoyed for now.
I'm highly considereing the purchase of a larger sub amp, preforably [email protected] for a pair, one dimya 12 matching on the other side. But i'm also considering some type of way to build a platform on the floor of the rear, and build up a frame for the factory floor, and put my amps inside this frame, along with the processor, and spare, etc......Both sides will be matching hopefully, and all will be carpeted and intensely clean.

Thanks alot Finley.
I'm highly considering the purchase of another Ref 12 for the rear, i think it would look that much better, and sound even more amazing

Thanks everyone again for your kind words, alot of work is going into my car, and i'm enjoying every moment of it.
Right now i'm waiting for the resin applied to cure, i also used the last of my resin, so i need to go back to lowes and get another container, a layer or two or Extra Strength matting will be applied over the fleece for added strength and support, and to fill some minor spots that had holes in some spots the fleece met. Extensive mass loading to the inside of the enclosure will take place, with spray on deadener, a few layers of ensolite, and a layer of acoustical eggshell foam.
I've yet to cutt the speaker hole out, but i'm somewhat wondering if i may need to resin the inside of the back of the fleece, to make sure that its completely hardened and nonporus. Also would it be wise to go around the inside where the mold meets the fleece on the front and cault/resin the seam to make it air tight?
