oops here they are again

the amp running them

 

[Guest]

They look great, very very nice looking amp.

Yea the ones I got are from the Q-line series, QSD 216's but there is a new model out now to replace them the QSF216 so mine are the older model.

Today I stripped the inside of the Legnum and started runing new wires and sound proofing the doors, my 6.5" subs for the rear doors only have about 1-2mm at the back to clear the window when its down, it was a lot of stuffing around making them fit with a spacer made from mdf.

Stock rear speakers vs 6.5" sub EDIT: These subs are a bit too thick for the doors avrn with a spacer.

very good i like the 6.5" subs gives me ideas
Keep a review of ya progress good to see how it all turns out.
Ill be doing exactly the same after the alarm goes in and once i pay off the alpine tv thats going in shortly.

Emanuel, just wondering how and why did you put your sound deadener inside the door shell? shouldn't it be on the outside? also how much did it cost you?

i'm currently looking into getting some installed on my car.. not dynamat but the US version FatMat..

I like the way you're modding up your interior.. also is it nice and very quiet inside now?

 

[Guest]

I've put dynamat on the outside as well to seal all holes and openings in the door. I'm not even half way finishing it all so I won't know the results for another week or 2.

I take it I don't need to put back the stock platic sheet as I've sealed it all?

 

[SiliconAngel]

Up to you, dude... I'd put it back, but that's me.

When you say sealed, I hope you don't mean you've sealed the drain hole?

haha no not the drain holes just the main larger openings in the door.

In my experience you'll want to put that plastic back. Others wise you can end up with water running into the car rather than draining out the bottom of the door.

He is sealing the access holes so he wont be needing to use the plastic... I did this on my old levin and the diffence in sound is quite amazing...

 

[naughtika]

im leaning towards sealing the access holes too.. but what if..

You mean if you have to replace the windows? You should be able to get the "plugs" out semi easily anyhow...

Or just SD the outer skin..

Just to show how hard the bass is hitting, listen to it vibrating my voice OUTSIDE the closed up car

[mookers]

Hehe, that reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they turn the entire interior of a car into a speaker...

 

[Guest]

still a work in progress but you get the idea. DD9915 and DDM3. just gotta try and match the trim

 

[happymatch]

thats a mother of all amplifiers....

 

[snickells]

Kye, that's the coolest use for the back of a wagon I've ever seen. Cant wait to see it all stitched up!

 

[Guest]

mate of mine has a stagea, and has a sub box FILLING the rear of the wagon, level with the top of the rear seat, haha.

What about the run off from the windows that WILL ruin the speaker and what ever electrics are bare behind the door trim??!!
