Sneak Peak at the new system

[xXManwhoreXx]

Dude if your doing a dope system...... tweeters in the gauge pod!

[S8track16]

I would have to get someone to make them for me, I'm not the best at fiberglassing. 2" bullet tweeters would be cool.

Dangg..thats super clean. Nice job man!

[Babyblue]

looking good!

Finally it has been a bit warmer (-3C compared to -30C) than usual and I was able to get some work done. Pulled the amps and sub out of the trunk and put one layer of knukonceptz kolussus sound deadener on the entire trunk floor and some on the sides. The deadener makes a huge difference and it should when it weighs 1lb per sq. ft. Then put the carpet back in and routed the wires through. Also put the gauge pod in with the voltmeter.

That's some serious shit right there. How much did you pay for the wiring?

[S8track16]

You don't want to know lol. But nearly $300.

[S8track16]

Had to add an mdf trim piece so it could actually fit and not hit anything when the door is closed.

[Nas Escobar]

I used my stock trim piece. It had a tweeter there from factory so yeah.

You should have done the same. Calls for less attention

[S8track16]

My tweeters are in the factory position, they are just too large.

[S8track16]

Actually turned on my car for the first time since September, with the d3400, car started up right away. Installed the tweeters/ crossovers and put my 4 channel amp in to test it out. I'm pretty impressed with the crescendo mid/highs so far, they are extremely loud and clear. Also hooked up my ddm tuning 8000k HIDs. Installed them, turned on the car and nothing, had the switch the plug the opposite way for some reason, then they worked fine. I just checked the brightness this evening and the HIDs are brighter than the high beams.

Wonder if a dc lvl 2 12" would fit in my MTX jackhammer box hole. 2 of those would do me right I think :<)...How much cutting to get the XS in?

[S8track16]

If you have a factory airbox, it won't fit. I had to cut the one end off of the mount completely as well as the metal mount from underneath the factory airbox.

[negolien]

LOL figures thanks though :>) I had been looking at the XS batteries as an alternative to the Optima. Maybe a smaller one will fit. Got a grand coming to me in tax refund thinking of 17 inch rims and tires. Won't take but about 400 to do my 4x6's, amp, deck and back up camera. I figure I can save about $170 per week and when the refund gets here in 3-4 weeks have enough to do all of it. Below are the rims and tires I' am looking at. Thinkin of going 17 due to low pro's maybe looking funny with stock height. Thoughts on that? The rims also come in the last ones thinking silver would look best with my tan color.

If you are going to get aftermarket rims, you could also just get some lowering springs as well, rather than the complete setup. I have eibach springs, I would have liked the front to drop a bit more since I have a lot of weight in the trunk, it balances out.

[tw0123]

Brandon... i had the same issue with the eibachs... even the specs show the rear drops more than the front... i switched to h&r springs because they offer the reverse... front frops more than the rear for that aggressive stance, but with a heavy system it balances it out!!

[negolien]

thanks what's a rough estimate on price? I wouldn't need any shocks or anything just the springs?

[S8track16]

I got my eibach springs for 150$ and installation was around $80 IIRC. And I never bought new shocks.

[negolien]

Thanks ya know I used to get emails from some website offering things to upgrade my car from springs and struts to tires and rims but I stopped accepting the spam mail. Wish I could remember the name of them.
