Thanks to you guys who have stuck with me and have been giving me good advice on product selection! Here's the latest:
I was actually happy that I downgraded the amp from 150W per channel to 100W, for the front and rear separates. The Audiobahn website lists the !00W amp (A1004DP) at 8.5 x 9.5 inches, which is the same measurements as the sub amp I bought (A1502DP). http://www.audiobahninc.com/products...gitalSpecs.gif This means I could do a super clean installation with both amps side-by-side in the rear of the trunkwell (which would flip-up and make room to carry a tire). So the 100W amp came, and it's 8.5 x 12 7/8 inches, and is too big for the planned installation. Man, that was disappointing! Since I won't save any space by using the 100W amp, I sent it back to exchange (again) for the 150W amp. I don't know if the store will exchange it, or not (semi-ebay deal). I've decided, for now, to go with 2 Eclipse SW7500DVC subs in modified WL boxes. I've determined that the WL boxes are as big as I can go, and still maintain OEM functionality. Custom boxes would only give slightly more space, and not enough to justify the cost. My friend that moved gave me a contact at Al & Ed's for the subs, so I still may get a good deal. I already removed the face plate (cover) and the trim pieces from the sub amp . I wanted to make sure I could modify it with the CF treatment, and some custom laser-cut pieces. I'm going to put it back together, and make sure everything is working before I mod the amps. The techs that I spoke to from MB Quart, and from Eclipse told me that the Audiobahn amps are pretty good quality, and would be fine for this installation. I know they're not the best, so I wasn't expecting their endorsement! :) -Pete :hello: |

Looking great Pete! I can't wait to see it installed.

UPDATE:
I've been PMing back and forth with WLaurent about the sub boxes. I still think modifying those are the way to go. I should be ready to order them soon. I ordered the MB Quart QSD 213 separates for the rear. The Audiobahn A1504DP (150W x4) amp is on the way. -Pete :thumbup: :what: [I can't go any faster, because school is taking up all of my time.] |
The MB Quart QSD 213 separates for the rear and the Audiobahn A1504DP (150W x4) amp came in a while back.
I just received the subs: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...4/DSC00172.jpg The next step is to get the enclosures from WL. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...4/DSC00168.jpg -Pete :hello: |

Looking good! |
