Post up your audio system!

Working on a mild system now. Intalled a AVH-P4300DVD. I built a fiberglass/MDF sub box to fit under the false floor in the rear, I'll be mounting a single Pioneer shallow mount 12", will be installing new components with a 4 channel amp, running all new wiring obviously, and hopefully hiding everything, but the amp rack is posing a challenge so far, unless I mount something behind the rear panel. Still thinking about that.

I'll try and get a few more photos when the stuff starts to arrive, but for now most of it is on order. Right now it's in development stage. I don't have the woofer hole cut out to proper size yet, until the sub arrives and I can get the proper dimensions.

- Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD
- Pioneer GM-D8500M 1200W Max Class D Mono Amp
- Pioneer TS-SW3001S2 1500W Max Shallow Mount 12" Sub
- Infinity Kappa 682.9CF 6x8 Component Speakers
- Infinity Kappa Four, 4 Channel Amplifier
- Crap ton of wiring.

Looks good. How many cubes is the space going to be for the sub? Cant wait to see it finished. Keep us updated

It should be close to 0.80-1.0 ish, I have to do a few better measurements now that it's done. Must buy more packing peanuts lol

- Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD

I like the 4300 a lot better than my 3200...

I wasn't too sure what I wanted at first. I knew I needed a double DIN, and they seem to be either DVD or Sat/Nav. I've had pretty good luck with Pioneer systems in 2 other vehicles, so I figured I'd keep it the same. I didn't really need the sat/nav, nor did I really need a DVD player in the dash, but the DVD is a lot cheaper than a Nav unit, and plus passengers can watch a movie or TV shows while on long trips (by-pass enabled). So far I love the HU, easy to piss around with without taking too much attention off the road.

I woulda went with the nav just cuz i dont want to custom make a spot for my tomtom. But i prob woulda had to do somerthign custom for the tv's i wanna get. lol But all in due time. I like your setup so far. The dd looks really clean.

Placed a large order with KnuKonceptz. Already received the stuff and installed haha. I'll get some photos later of what I've done so far. I spent all my cash so far, and I've had to skip on the Infinity Kappa Four, for now, I wired in my two spare RF 2-Channel amps to power the door speakers for now.

The beauty of these distribution blocks is I can change it up any time. I left lots of wiggle room in the wiring to add/delete any time I feel the need. The one RF amp is 100w RMS x 2 @ 2ohm, second is 60w RMS x 2 @ 2 ohm. Should do the trick for now, while I tune up the system.

I bridged my ported Kaption 12" SPL (600w RMS/1200w Max) woofer to the RF 201S, to test out my wiring. Ha. It worked - Can't wait to get the new woofer in. Should be here today.

Here's what I ordered from KnuKonceptz if anyone is interested, I had a bunch of extras, even after doing the Big Three. No where near enough spade terminals though. Good thing I have a bunch.

So far everything has worked out alright. It was a PITA to get the new speaker wires into the doors, however.

Pictures so far as promised. Not much so far. As I said, those are some temporary RF amps for the component speakers, until I order the Kappa Four.

So far so good, everything is pretty solid, just need my next order to arrive. (Sub, Mono Amp, Components)

For that rear panel, I drilled about a million holes though the plastic, and into the carpet to allow sound through like a grille. Had to be pretty nice on the drill as to not twine up the carpet fibers, turned out pretty good, you almost can't even tell. Only thing I could think of at the time without making a grille somehow, and ordering new carpet, but took forever. Feels pretty darn stable, wouldn't want to put any massive weight there, but should do for now.

Only other thing I am concerned about is cooling for the amps. I may relocate them if it gets too hot down there. But my goal is achieved, it's an invisible system.

The harsh shadows on the photos are from the DSLR lens hood hah.

The temporary Amps

Knu Power Dist. block, nice.

Nicely hidden!!

The panel with a million holes

The Big 3 - Not too bad

 

[KC90]

Very nice! Im liking the old skool Rockford amps you got. Dont see many of those.

 

[-Strike-]

Got the rest of it in this afternoon. All installed. Tested and sounds amazing. I will have to fine tune all the amps gains and crossovers for what I like. The woofer is pretty sharp and sounds great in the enclosure, I was a little worried it'd blast into pieces haha. I'll get a few photos tomorrow before the system goes into stealth! Can't wait to hear it once it's all broken in.

Infinity Kappa 682.9CF

The Pioneer GM-D8500M 600w RMS/1200w, Rockford Fosgate 201S 100w RMS x 2, 600W Max, and Rockford Fosgate 120.2 (?!)

[97EDB]

i have not installed my system in my 97 yet but i did take it out of the 01 before i sold it...

morel tempo 6 comps front and rear
running off a p450.4
3 10" w6v2 with a 500/1 to each

and thats it...i left the wiring and deck(kd-s100) in the ex when i sold it basically starting from scatch again..old system hit 147.1db @40hz

 

[abigaillozano]

That's a great looking installation! I have to agree, the pioneer AVH-P4300DVD would be the perfect centerpiece for your sound system build. In my opinion, getting the best sport truck accessories doesn't just end in the exterior, it has to end in the interior especially the sound system!

 

[d.cheverie]

my install

here's what ive got, pioneer in dash dvd player. factory door speakers. 1000 watt kenwood amp and 2 700 watt tens. The system hits about 125 db, which is good for me. The carpet on that box is black now and the plexi is tinted.

Also have this sub box holds 1x 15" woofer and 2x 10"s. The 15 is a 6000w quad coil Massive Audio sub.

 

[chric147]

do you think u could get 4 15 in one box in the back of a 96

 

[chric147]

does anyone here also make boxes

 

[d.cheverie]

does anyone here also make boxes

Ya, I make boxes, made both of mine for my truck, 4x15"s wouldnt really be a problem, just take up the entire space and probably be as tall as the bottom of the rear windows (guessing) Every different type of sub requires a specific size box.

 

[chric147]

all right all keep that in mind thx

 

[Foxracin]

Never updated this thread with my new sub. The JBL I had took a **** so replaced it with a 8" Kicker Solo Baric L7. Sounds good to me.
