    "No Prep" laughs in Rapid Remover.

    Do you have Dynamat or something similar to go in the doors? It changes everything.

    Those speaker rings make a notable difference in your mids.

    I scrolled right past that somehow.

    Awesome build, I hope it's pleasing to the ear as you progress.

    Hope so too with the $$$ I’m putting into it. Can’t wait to hear it after some tuning.

    The six channel amp has a Helix DSP built in. I’ll do a rough setup myself, time alignment, crossovers, gains, basic curves with REW. Prob. run auto tune too. I’ll then get either a remote tune or in person tune by Nick of Vanguard Automotive Design.

    Nice! Just think it’ll be noticeably quieter and the satisfaction of getting it done. I thought it was going to be a PITA to take the carpet out but it’s not that bad.

    Too cool! Our systems are super similar, I went flax, JL stealth box, JL amps. Mine has changed a lot since this pic. But good to see another build!

    Tonight I got 1 tweeter wired up. Gotta get soldering arms though, trying to solder without them is a PITA. 22uF cap in line. Took me quite a bit of research to determine what uF to use on these. The video from Mark at Car Audio Fabrication was super helpful.

    Which soldering iron and solder are you using? I need a new one and I need more soldering practice.

    Got this one from Home Depot but if I did it again I’d get a better one with an adjustable temp and stand for it. The Ryobi looks nice.
