Stereo in my buddies truck

My buddy liked my truck so much he bought a similar one. Wanted a similar stereo as well. So here we go. Taco II ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.

 

Sound deadening on all surfaces

 

Hybrid Audio components

 

Fuses

 

Arc and JL amps

 

Enclosure

 

Tuning

 

Hell yeah in the best color too

 

what material are the chevron-textured mats made from?

did you make the speaker adapters from acrylic?

 

Good eye. The mats are cut down floor mats from Lowe’s. The speaker adapters are acrylic.

 

so you used ABS sheet for the tweeters and acrylic for the woofers? is there a specific reason for that?

i would normally go the opposite direction. given acrylic's brittle nature, i normally use it for tweeters, and keep the abs/mdf for midbass adapters to better deal with the higher vibration load.


always looking to learn something new.

 

Even though I’ve been doing this professionally for 30+ years I’m always looking to learn something new myself. 1/4 in acrylic and better is far from brittle and doesn’t vibrate whatsoever. ABS is a great route too. MDF on the other hand is a terrible choice inside a door. I wish there was a better option for enclosures but there really isn’t in most cases. Thanks for showing interest.
