i still have to get the rear seat panels completed but they're at least started. This project was started over a year ago and is finally nearing completetion, but now im thinking about removing everythign in the hatch and rear seat and changing it to FOUR Thunder 9500's.

The system consists of ALL MTX Audio except the head unit. The amps are the TA7804 4 channel with over 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms pushing the high end component TXC 6.1 and TXC 6.0 midbass, the other amplifier is a TA7801 mono block 800 watt @2 ohm and 1200 watt @1ohm.

The woofer is a 12" Thunder 9500 1000 watt RMS weighing in at 69 lbs in a 4 cubic ft enclosure tuned around 35 Hz.

The head unit is a Kenwood DDX 7017 dual din DVD/monitor, etc....

The custom install consists of three fiberglassed match painted panels in the rear that surround the MDF enclosure which has a 1 inch acrylic window on the front of the woofer to show off the magnet as well as the multi color LEDS inside the enclosure seen by mirrored acrylic installed inside enclosure.

The doors were chopped at the arm rest line and below removing the factory door controls and re locating the driver side controls to the switch panel to the left of the stearing wheel for both windows and door lock and completely removing passenger controls. Custom grill was fiberglassed to house the TXC tweeter over the midrange driver which sits in front of the mid bass driver. On the driver side door are fiberglassed into the door two blue digital voltage gauges to be able to monitor the voltage of the Kinetik 1800 series under the hood and the two Kinetik 800 series in the rear of the vehicle. Near the back of the door panel is a three quarter inch acryicl piece set into the door with a cust made graphic with the current gothic MTX AUDIO logo set over the SCION S logo. Toggle swith for turning on and off voltage gauges mounted in swith panel to left of steering wheel.

EBC controller to adjust bass of TA7801 custom mounted in center console below the opening for the arm rest.

The rear seat panels are fiberlgassed to house the amplifiers into each side of the vehicle showing off the lighted PRIZM effects of the amplfiers and allowing for the fan cooling. I still haven't decided how i want to finished these panels since a 4 yr old sometimes goes back there and i worry that if they're painted it will get chipped a lot but if i wrap them in suede they will get oily and dirty easily. Suggestions welcome and pics of the rear panels will be coming soon.

The pics are of each section of the fiberglass in as much order of progress that I can do. Hope you all enjoy and it inspires you to do something yourself. I am considering hte possibility of selling the entire hatch setup with panels, box, woofer, LEDS, rear panels with amps in trade for factory panels and cash to redo the setup. Any reasonable offer will be considered. Keep in mind I have poured thousands into this labor of love over all.

For those curious how loud it is i just scored my highest score of a 142.6 DB, thats with just ONE 12.

The car might be dirty in a couple pics and i know for some of the door panel i didnt have a chance to do a full detail before taking the pics. I will be doing a photo shoot next week hopefull and will be posting up better pics.















This is during the time i was going to try and be cheap by wrapping the hatch panels instead of paying more and getting them painted, I'm sooooooooo glad i decided to not go cheap. The material wasn't two way stretch and wasn't going very well being wrapped.

 

love the last pic

 

has anyone heard about MB Quart subs and if they are good or not? I know they make really good components, but I have no idea as far as subs go. any ideas?

 

That setup is amazing MTcX!!

Here is a pic of the current box...


Here is the new box in progress...

 

MTcX, I love the doors. I was sitting in traffic the other day and actually was looking and am thinking of trying the same thing. i wish i could find some spare inserts to try with.

 

Welcome home Nick06tC!

 

Thanks man!!! Its so good to be back...and in the game!!

My bass ****

 

My Temporary Setup til i can get something custom ;)

 

I'm so jealous of everyone's system, I wish I had that kind of cash

 

Where'd you order your dash kit from by the way. I need to get one.

 

my buddy in richmond owns a sounds system store and car club called.. higher standards.. and he just hooked me up with it :D. props of running round with them and giving them a spot on www.sportcompacts.org

 

lol aight.

 

The system as it stands today, but things change all the time.

 

wth is the wooden thing? Nice system by the way. How do you like those infinity's?

 

thats a purty looking shift **** you got isotope

 

The Infinity subs are absolutely fantastic. As it sits, the box is actually slightly oversized-- but I couldn't physically make the enclosure any smaller and still fit the subs in it.

The amps are kinda overkill. I'm running the 7541a bridged to a 2-channel, so I'm feeding the CDT ES-620 Golds in my doors about 270w RMS per side.

Some hate the ****, but I love it. You won't find a more temperature-neutral shift **** material than a good hardwood. It's made of cocobolo, one of the rarest hardwoods on Earth-- the piece used to make that **** alone is about $15.

 

Man I am TIRED.... was a long weekend. got the hatch all done. I am happy with it overall but I do not like the side pods I made for the subs... they kinda are... ugly *LOL* But easy to change. The carbon fiber looks killer in the daytime and matches the kaminari hook weave perfectly. Will have to get some daytime shots of the CFI Man I am soooo ready for bed.

 

gundam jeremy! NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
