Show off those aftermarket stereo systems!

Found it, downloaded AppRadio and am currently downloading iGo North America maps for a navigation app.

 

Saw on TW Live that you are installing, me want pics for after, which head unit do you haz?

What head unit is this? Looks just like your phone... good!

 

my truck has gone from having 2 15s with 6kw to 4 15s walled with 26kw to now a new set up that im currently putting together with 4 12s and 8kw with Acura TL type s Rear seats Front end will have a nexus7 gen 2 at the business end with an old school alpine deck and 4 8 inch mid range and 2 tweeters in the front doors

 

When did 8" woofers become mid-ranges... Sheesh. Do you provide sound reinforcement for Metallica concerts?

 

I don't, I eliminated it but will regain some storage when I build the new set up with a rear console.

 

pics?

 

IMO you may want to consider a midrange to bridge the gap between an 8 inch midbass and tweeters. very few 8 inchers or tweeters can cover a wide enough frequency range to sound good together. personally i'd swap out one pair for 8 inchers for something like a 4 or 5 inch midrange. you may need to get another processor or amp to properly set crossover frequencies, but you'll be glad you did.

 

Kenwood DDX-319, sundown SA10. I have clarion components in the doors with an alpine 500 watt running those, and a 1200 watt jackhammer running the sub

 

Don't worrie,
It's not my first walk in the park. When I'm done I'll have a perfect or as close to perfect flat response curve w proper cut offs and x- over points
The freq response of the drivers I selected will work just fine.


I'm currently collecting gear for the bulk so no pictures at this pint but ican try did a few vids of the old set up at competitions and demos

 

When you have a sub stage that will drown out most 6 1/2s?
With today's new drivers you can very easily get the response you desire

 

I'll play

infinity speakers all the way around
Kicker 10" comp Rt 2013 model
Kenwood 600 watt digital amp
Clarion 4 channel power pack

 

I just added a Alpine type R to the ext cab.
Not really as good as I expected it to be, especially in the lower range. I have it in a ported box.
I have hertz component speakers and a 100w rms front and rear so the sub just sounds just like a good door speaker. I think it had to break in abit though, I was used to 2 12s in a ported box, so it's a little different than what I'm used to

 

How much power to the sub?
Do yourself a fav, if that is a prefab box, but a sheet of birch ply and build a new box, tuned much lower. Prefab boxs are garbage
Another thing you should check is if you have the coils wired correctly, you may have put d4 or d2 coils in series pumping the resistive load to high and the amp being unable to produce much power at that load

Sorry for not running the wires under the carpet or something. I had to do it in the parking lot here on campus.

 

The door panel is finally getting close to being done

 

Man, that's a lot of work. Are you guys rebuilding to fit more drivers in the doors or just for looks? I'd love to add another pair of Mille's to my doors but I just don't have the patience to rebuild my doors.

 

Well the truck is basically used for demoing to people at the shop, just to show what they're capable of. The first time they redid the door panels, they wanted to maintain some sort of factory look. Plus to make room for the 3 way and to get it angled where they want it. Now since they threw LEDs into the mix, they wanted to incorporate the blue LEDs into the door panels, so they decided to just go all out.

The first time they did it

 

Here is mine. Pioneer Appradio 2 w/ everything else stock but looking to upgrade if you have any suggestions.

 

How is the sound with an upgraded HU and factory speakers? I'm planning to order a Pioneer x5500bhs from crutchfield this Christmas and not upgrading speakers yet, just curious.
