Jaws2008 System Build
 
Hi all, My other thread about my build is a bit messy and unorganized a bit... So I Thought I could summarize it all right up here, in order, exactly what I did etc.. And with my new updates..

Okay here we go.

First thing we did was make the box and the start of the amp rack.. In the picture below we had flipped the box around so the port was on the other side, it fit better and was more centered. (I dont have a pic of the Amp rack empty)

Then Some of the trim pieces were made. As well as mounting The JL amp in the pics below (pics of how that is mounted will be later).

Also the installation of the RE Audio MT 15" Sub. Its a DVC sub wired in parallel to .5 ohm.

Then the trim pieces were wrapped in Black sued.

Then I upgraded my Head Unit once again.. Kenwood DNX9960

Then Planning for Custom door Panels with multiple speakers I picked up this.. Rockford Fosgate Power T600-4
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0092.jpg

I then Installed a Optima Yellow Top battery up front.. Pics to follow.

Then Painted etc.. my amp rack...

In the above pic the Rockford amp is not hooked up since I dont have the speakers I want to hook up to it yet, but it was in for show and test fit.

I then decided I need to upgrade wiring.. 0 gauge is what was needed for the main power wire, as well getting some 0 gauge directly to the Subwoofer amp.

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_0574.jpg

Also picked up some needed accessories...

This brings up about to current time. The 0awg is in pics to follow. But leads us to my new fronts for the doors(I know I promised Rockford Fosgate T1 6.5 Component Separates but I couldn't help my self so)...
RE Audio XXX 6.5 Component separates... And yes that 150RMS each speaker not for the pair.

I think when I'm done with my car I will finally dabble into the audio. That stuff looks great man!

jaws2008 Jun 22, 2011 04:52 PM

Thanks all. Im working on the 6.5s as I type im just running into big trouble putting them in because they are way to deep and the window gets in the way... Im trying to put them in the stock location for now until I get all the needed equipment and time to do custom panels.
