Got my sound system "done"

[RangerRock]

Anyways I have been working on my system in my truck for a while now....gather parts and such. Also with the first amp, it didn't go so well. It was a refurb and something went wrong, amp sent DC current to the subs and took them out also....Luckily the company warrantied the amp and gave me a FULL refund on the amp but also gave me a discount on a Sundown 1500d amp. Also DC reconed the subs for me, at the cost of shipping!

Well I finally got it "finished" but I just now noticed that one of my 6x9's has a blown tweeter so I gotta replace those...btw that is Jensen for you! (Crap!)

When I took these videos I had just put them in so I was taking it easy....

Will get some more videos later with them full tilt...


EDIT:

Here is some pictures that I took along the way....

First up is the before and after pictures of the Second Skin Damplifier Pro door kit. I would like to thank ANT from Second Skin, he put on a promotion at another forum (SMD) and while at first saying he was giving away *10* door kits...he wound up giving EVERYONE that entered one! He also gave everyone a wooden roller and the fury knife with extra blades!

I did that to both sides....Took a few hours but I got it done and it made a huge improvement on the sound quality and on keeping a lot of the flex down.

Next up is some pictures of everything I had before the install....

Next project is I am going to bondo the box I have and then paint it. Then I will be adding some fiberglass to the sides to make it look a bit nicer in the back and not just a "box".

I will definitely put up the finished...although I don't think anything is ever "finished".

Anyways DC is a new sub company, they make subs and amps. Subs are all made in the USA!

The amps are awesome, a few people have done bench tests on the amps and these amps are under-rated big time. At least the 1500d. One guy that did a bench test came up with 1900+ watts out of the 1500d!!!

Here is what he says about it.

POWER : 1970 Watts
AMP VOLTAGE (measured) : 49.25 V
AMP CURRENT (calculated) : 40 A
ACTUAL IMPEDANCE (calculated) : 1.23 ohms
SUPPLY VOLTAGE : 12.85 V

Not sure about you guys, but almost 2000watts out of a 1500w amp is nice!

Amp ran me right at $340 (refurbished) but they are way more when new...refurb still came with the remote knob and then the same warranty as if bought new!

My highs include of 2 SoundStream 6x9's and 2 Jensen 6x9's (Jensens are going out asap!)

All 4 are ran off a Kenwood 280w 4channel amp. Probably pushes right at 200watts total

Lemme know freddy,

I have yahoo mainly...

Yahoo: hpisavage2514


I have some songs but mainly go with some that people have already played and that I liked.

I really don't like playing it in the driveway because I don't want to make the neighbors mad. I was at a friends house and his mom said I was shaking everything inside the house. LOL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygm1bs68M-s you need a sound system like this!! lmao check it out its insane!!!!

 

[RangerRock]

Yep that is Steve Meade for you....

That is the audio forum that I am on (SMD).

He has way too much money into that car....

Amps were $25,000 each and the subs are $500 each.

Not to mention his wheels which were like $10,000 then the brakes...it goes on and on.

My goal once I get out of high school and start making more money is to get some DC Level 5 18's and about 10,000watts but that is a few years away....
