Just ordered S-Pods and Infinity Reference 5000cs components to finish off my system. Ill write up an overview when I get it all in, should sounds pretty nice.
I have so many photos that I had to break this into 2 posts:
After two years of piece by piece upgrades I finally finished the system. Sounds amazing. If anyone needs help installing similar components to these PM me for help...
First, the MY04 Radio Door:
Behind it, an Alpine CDA-7995 with no internal power and 3 sets of 4 Volt Pre-Amp outs. Tucked carefully away by the vents is Lucid's DCI that allows me to use the stock controls with the aftermarket head unit.
Up front I am running the 6 1/2 inch Kicker Resolution RS6C component set with crossovers tucked away in the doors. I used the foam baffles from Crutchfield and PAS2KNUT was nice enough to fabricate custom speaker baskets for me, which he painted silver.
I installed S-Pods for rear fill and better top-down listening. Their craftsmanship is phenominal and they look OEM when installed. I was very happy with fitment as well. Inside the S-Pods I am running the 5 1/5 inch Kicker Resolution R5Sc component set with the crossovers hidden behind the rear panels. Both the front and rear speaker sets are being driven by an Alpine MRP-F240 that is installed under my seat (this is the only component I do not have a photo of yet)
For bass, I built my own custom sub enclosure. This is quite an undertaking (at least it was for me) but it can save you a fortune and you can make sure it's done right. I used 3/4" MDF from Home Depot, drywall screws, wood glue, silicone, gray carpeting, speaker terminals, and weather stripping. For all the work, it was fun to build and fits great.
Installed in the eclosure is a 10" Kenwood Excelon KFC-W2503. It is powered by a 4 Ohm Bridged U.S. Acoustics USB-2100 amp that is bolted to PAS2KNUT's Spare Tire Amp Rack. This is a great piece that I highly recommend. The whole thing, amp & enclosure, can be removed for the track in less than 3 minutes.
Big thank you's to all of you that have provided me with answers to electronis questions over the past two years. I'm thrilled with the results...
After seeing everybody stuff looked so clean, it gives me hope and inspire so much.
It takes me about 6 months for me to complete my system, i guess because everything in car is special order from out of state. No regret, i love everything now, they sound different from others. My system is pure sound quality. Check it out. http://www.sounddomain.com/memberpage/561494
All of these setups are inspirational. Can't wait to show off mine.
