Default 3 way fully active setup I put together

I have always been into good sq car stereo just never really applied myself to make my own setup. I decided to bite the bullet and do a setup in my S2000. Heres a couple of pics during the install and a couple of the finished doors. I wanted the appearance to remain as oem as possible while still being able to make a decent setup. Heres the products:

800prs
aura mr1 tweeters
pioneer 720prs mids
id max 10d2
aura 6ch to power the mids/tweeters(mids bridged)
arc fd 600.1
2 farad sound quest cap

4awg to the amps, 16 for tweeters, 14 for mids(mostly just to make it easier to determine which goes to which.

haven messed with TA or the eq just have it set to flat currently and ta off. going to have a board member on here tune it with his gear after thanksgiving sometime.

xovers are set 63/18db for sub , 63/18 mid lpf, 3.15k/6 hpf, 4k/6 tweeters. reversed the phase on the mids as well. it sounds very decent for my first time and i went through a few different xover points and slopes and these seem to work very well blending the whole stage.

heres a few pics, sorry i didnt take more.

doors took a whole door pack of ssa damplifier pro and some 6.5 mdf rings(which i had to hack at with a dremel...forgot the mids are 6 3/4 )



tweeters i got to fit behind the stock plastic mesh "grilles" but im not sure how much its actually affecting anything



car has a flip down radio cover to hide the head unit as well



I bought a pre-made false floor box off ebay, very well built and was well worth what i paid for it. right at .92 cu ft and i stuffed with with some polyfill. I did have to open it up a bit for the id max but that was another ten minute job.



heres the aura amp. i bought an amp rack that goes where the spare tire should go(my car would not be able to use a stock spare so its out) and a pic with it wedged in there(dont mind the wires wasnt finished cleaning up)



pic of the opening where the amp sits for better reference



and the huge bastard jammed in there



mounted the cap on the back of the amp wall



and got the wall mounted up on top of the false floor(had to cut 3/4" off the wall since it was made to fit without the false floor.) carpets matchperfectly and please disregard the missing carpets. this car used to be a previous owners race car. it had nothing in the trunk when i bought it, hence why one pic shows the trunk being held by an umbrella lol.




overall im very happy with the results. im always looking to find something better though and thats an addiction i unfortunately have with everything lol.

nice work! how do you like the Pioneer PRS mids? were you able to source them stand alone, or did you have to buy the set and discard the tweeters? i was considering them, but thought the tweeter was going to be too harsh.
