This was a pretty quick and simple SQ build, all the world was performed by Julia.
The customer supplied us with all the gear except the DSP, but upon powering up, we realized one of the amps that he had bought online sometime ago was DOA...so as a result, we made the switch to a pair of the arc audio XdiV2 amps.
pardon the lack of pics compared one of my own builds, i am still trying to whip her into shape to take more pics
goals:
1. obtain a good level of sq using customer supplied gear
2. maintain full usability of the cargo area and keep everything out of sight.
lets get started:
first up on Julia's agenda is making a metal fuse holder bracket welded to the factory battery tie down:
here are two qucik build pics of the holder:
the signal source starts with a customer supplied pioneer 4000NEX double din headunit. also installed was a backup camera system:
for the front stage he supplied us with a set of Morel Virtus 602 two way components. the midbass went into the stock door location.
first, new speaker wires were run into the door:
the outter door panel received a handful of blackhole tiles:
and then the entire door was sound proofed wtih stinger foam, with a bit of customer supplied dynamat around the sepaker mounting location:
Julia then fabricated two pairs of speaker adapter plates (front and rear door), and coated them with several layers of trunkliner:
the adapters were then bolted to the door using rivetnuts:
while the outter door skin receive some dynamat as well:
the same procedure was repeated on the driver side door, except this time julia remember to take a picture of the virtus midbass installed
the customer also gave us a set of focal coaxials to act as rear speakers, the rear doors were sound proofed, baffles installed and the focals wired up and secured...these were simply powered off the headunit:
the tweeters were molded into the front A pillars, aimed relatively off axis and finished in black vinyl:
a few quick build pics of the pillars. first, julia aimed and secured rings to the stock pillar:
then she filled the void with filler and sanded everything smooth to blend it in:
then the pillars were wrapped in black vinyl, the tweeters press fit and installed:
next, she sound proofed some vital sections of the car go area with CLD on the outter door skin and foam on the inner panel:
