[Junior]

Over the 1g glovebox we have a huge waste of space, it looks like a wall. I am planning on putting the widescreen in there flush mounted, The wide screen is about 7" long and about 4" high. it sgould fit fairly easy with little or no problems. As for the 2 4" other monitors, they are going in my visors.

Good system except I have blown both MB Quarts in the doors and probably wont replace them with the same type. Its amazing how the more expensive the product is, the easier it is to break. Oh well.

[Redsand187]

What model where the Quarts BMP? I would go to a Focal 3 way compnent set, I love mine. It sounds great. Handles 210 RMS(a side of course). Clear sound, full range coverage, not lacking at all and not too bad of a price, depending on where you buy them though. I've seen thm for up to 750 bucks I got mine for 300, but I have conections and got them at cost.

[90GSTforME]

Hey redsand, where did you choose to mount your components?
I would assume kicks, right?

Custom made three chamber dual bandpass box with triangular ports. I designed and built this box with race-day removal in mind while still being a bitch to steal. Check out my site for more info:

Last season in a different box I ran 13.5 @ 102.5 mph with the box in the trunk; that box hit 143.2 db. This year I hope to hit 12.99- on first day of the season AND hit 145+ db at the same time.

[Chi99GST]

Car Alarm :

Prestige - AudioVox Alarm with shock sensor and remote start. In addition to that I have a dual stage proximity sensor which alerts someone if they are too close to my car. This alarm will also keep the car running just like a turbo timer! This is very helpful and saves me some money!

Head Unit :

Clarion DRX9175 passive CD deck

Digital Sound Processor (DSP) - Clarion DPH7300 external DSP

Speakers :

Fujitsu Eclipse - 8052 5" Driver with 3/4" silk dome tweeter and crossover in the rear. I replaced the factory tweeters in the front with the 1" Eclipse tweeters in place of their 3/4". (4 drivers and 4 tweeters total)

JL Audio - 12w6 12" subwoofers (2 subs total) in a custom enclosure, which is removable. This helps out greatly when racing!

Amps :

Soundstream - Reference 1000 : 1000 watt amplifier x2 (for subs)

Soundstream - Rubicon 604 : 600 watt x 4 (for mids and highs)

Amp Rack - Custom created by myself and the help of my friends at Sound Design! Shop, tools, brains, etc. Rack was created to center some of the weight the amps have and to match the interior. All equipment was installed with 4 gauge power, 12 gauge speaker wire, custom length directional RCA cables from the DSP located in the factory amp location just under the passenger seat.

Farad Capacitor :

Lightning Pro Audio 1 Farad capacitor. This keeps the lights from dimming while the music is turned up loud. Also puts less load on the battery.

[Redsand187]

a 1507 and no amp to your mids and highs, that must be annoying, can you even hear the words. I mean 1000 watts versues maybe 150

[nellystyle]

i'm getting a 4 channel soon, but it's not that annoying, i can still hear pretty good out of the fosgates and eclipse...and dont forget , the 7969 is 60wx4 rMS, not top end... it's hardwired to the battery, so it's almost a built in amplifier, but i'm getting a 4 channel soon, because the head unit gets too hot when it's hardwired. oh well :)

Chi99GST,

Not to nit pic or anything, just wondering. I thought that the SoundStream 1000 was 1000x1 not 1000x2 and the 604 was not 600x4 but 150x4

Use to have a 1000 and a 705, now moved to a 10.0 and a Picasso :)

come on, keep it going!

[Quest]

Hey JZA, how do you like those Qforms? I was thinking of getting them, but they look like they would get in the way. Especially for the dead pedal and clutch. How do they sound. Are they really an improvement over the stock door panel locations. Do they really improve the imaging?

Quest

[91TalonAWD]

Well, to bring it back up, here is my system:
Pioneer Premier P808 Tape
Pioneer Premier P99 CD both in the double din opening, linked with Pioneers line out to CD input
(2 sets)Polk MM3000 tweets
(2 sets)Polk dB 5 1/4's
(1) Rockford Fosgate Punch 400x4 for the highs
(2) Crossfire 1000d's bridged together
(1) Atomic Thunder Shocker Extreme a.k.a MOUSE
2 guage power and ground
Soon to be added- HO alternator, maybe another battery
All of the equipment is sitting in my room except for the decks. I was going to run my 15" Hurricane Power Strokes, but they don't match with my current set-up. Check the DSMtrader for those.

[Tractionless in PA]

Nellystyle, I think you have your number's confused. the 79 series of Alpine pieces are pre-amp only, meaning they have no internal power. The 78 series are the powered decks. You would either have to have an amplifier or a powered EQ to get sound from that deck. Just my O2. I do applaude the use of Alpine however!!:)

[MikeyTsi]

Yes, Alpine is good. As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of theirs as well.

[nbm]

Well, up until a few weeks ago I had a JVC KDSX650, 2 MTX 5000 12's, a Thunder 302, and Memphis 6x9's.......it wasn't great, but apparently it caught somebody's attention and they decided to steal it :).
Right now I have the factory AM-FM Cass that works half the time :)
I'm startin over soon with a Panasonic CQ-DF600..the warm blue glow has me hooked!

[gondzur]

I have:

Eclipse 5543 HU
Eclipse 5083 8 disc changer
Eclipse EQ/DSP
JL Audio 4", 5.25", 6.5" Evolution Components and 1" tweets.
2 JL Audio 15W3-D2 subs
2 Memphis 1000D amps
1 Memphis 300w 4 channel amp


Would like:

2 more 15w3's and 2 more memphis 1000ds!!! That would rock!
But im happy right now i guess.

[nbm]

Hey, have any of you actually experimented with subwoofer firing direction? I know there are a lot of theories...facing up seemed to work well for my friends and me, but I was thinking about downfiring next time. Any opinions?

[Tractionless in PA]

yes, firing down work's good also. Although 99% of the time, firing the speaker's towards the rear in a hatchback situation yields higher output due to the fact that it cancell's out the dead standing waves in the vehicle. It does this because the hatchback design acts as an extension of the speaker. IE more output. generally, if the subs are firing forward, they need to be sealed off from the back half of the vehicle or you get the exact opposite effect of the above stated effect. they tend to cancell themselves out. In trucks, particularly ext. cabs, firing down seems to be far and away the best method, due to the smaller size of the cab, because there is a smaller volume of air that needs to be compressed.

[Edited by Tractionless in PA on 03-30-2001 at 12:07 PM]

Well I have only owned my car for 4 months now. So far I have been a speed fiend dropping over $1200 in the last 4 months. Now time for the stereo (fuck the weight). Anyone ever heard of XTANT. I will own the 604x, 4 chnl amp and the 10001x mono block amp. I will then power 4 6.5" infinity kappa perfect6.1's with some thumpin kappa perfect 10's. I can get most of my supply for less than dealer cost for accomodations. Anyone in boise need anything, stop by Ultimate and ask for Jon. As for anyone else, I might be able to work somethin with you. I am not a dealer, just an employee. Later guys, JP

Bought most of it from him

[krayzieAWD]

I have something simple but it gets the job done, sounds damn decent, and doesn't add excessive weight to my car. I'm more into being fast than being loud.

Pioneer DEH-P6000
Pioneer 6x9's (3-way)
and stock front speakers.

I have it faded more to the rear so I don't blow out my stockers.

[Johnny]

Alpine 7830 Cd player-yeah its an oldie but I payed $500 for it when it came out so its staying till it dies.

JVC- 11 band grapgic EQ, It was $50 it controls my sub level and it looks cool.

This is all new, except the Quart crossovers, tweets, and mids. The prior headunit and amp were stolen (Fosgate RFX-8220 and Fosgate 600a5, respectively), and the sub and box are new, all thanks to my illustrious car insurance. All is installed and functions GRRRR-eat except the Quart 6" mid-woofers. BrandsMart was having trouble getting them, so I get to go back sometime next week and have them installed.

The Quart components are in the dash for now in stock location with the 6"s in the rear deck. As soon as I get my fiberglass pods finished, all six component speakers will be aimed and focused in the kickpanels. I'd also like to make a 'glass box for my sub in the spare tire well to keep the trunk itself usable.

It sounds pretty damn good, but I haven't tuned it for the car at ALL yet, so I'm sure it can sound lots better once I get the gains an levels and crossovers and shit set right. I'd like to have it tested out to see how many dB i'm gettin. Gotsa have smooth tunes for cruisin. ;)

Come on everyone, keep this one going forever! I'm changing my equipment as we speak.
Selling my modified CFA 1000d's to go lesser power (but better looks), to a Orion 2100 HCCA or 2250 XTR, I used to own both and loved how they looked.
Sold the Pioneer Premier CD and am moving on to the Clarion 310c, aka the Auto-PC.
Selling the subs to move down to 2 12" Eclipse 88's or Audiomobile Mass 12's.
I'm going to less SPL and more looks and SQ.
I'll have pics soon of the install when I get everything :)

Head-
Kenwood KDC 715S

Front Speakers-
(2) 2" Clarion tweeters sunk into the factory spots in the dash
(2) 5 1/2" Clarion subs in the doors

Middle Speakers-
(2) 3-way 6"x9" Infinity pro comps

Boom-Boom Speakers-
(4) 12" Chrome American Pro's w/1 600w American Pro amp

lil' bout my install-
head unit is in the normal place, nothing spectacular bout it. the tweeters were sunk into the original circular inserts that come with the rs (that dosen't come with actual tweeters) and look like they came that way from the factory. the 6x9's in the back seat were tricky - i had to yank out the factory mounting hardware and instead of trying to use it, just bolted the speakers directly to the plastic molding that goes over then (its plenty sturdy since i re-inforced the rear, that sits right on the metal, with foam and padding) and also covered them with the original grill but with black fabric sewen in-between to look a little more professional. the trunk was totally fun to do. the only thing i didn't do myself was make the fiber-glass box (found someone selling one already done - why bother when his was perfect for what i wanted to do?). had to remove that silly metal stand that you are supposed to use for your spare tire (that took a whole weekend - murder on my back!). then i had to find a sturdy enough rubber substance to pad the speaker-box (those big orange things you find laying around construction sites work GREAT - but you didn't hear that from me). once that was done, i decided to bolt the whole thing in nice and snug using the drain holes already made by the factory and some heavy duty bolts/washers/rubber washers (this actually gained me a lot of better sounding bass - makes sense - vibrating with the car instead of against it). believe it or not, the 600w amp powers my 12's VERY NICELY - not many people let me turn it all the way up - even the one's that are excited to hear it. oh yea - there is a kill switch in my cup holder (very slim, still can put my drinks there) to turn the bass off.

as far as insulation, i've taken my entire car apart (including the airconditioning and sunroof) and stuffed it full of probably 100lbs of foam, rubber padding, silicon glue, caulking, and probably a few other things i forgot to make it sound 99.9% perfect and not rattle sounding like CRAP (it never ceases to amaze me people that think their car sounds great when all you hear is rattle...). its like nothing i've ever heard, and i've been into car audio with many many of my s. florida friends for YEARS.

unfortunately, people that have heard of american pro stuff think its crap - thats ok - i kno better.

e-mail me if u would like pix - its a rather professional install if i do say so myself - ;-)

[shortdahri]

Correct me if i'm wrong but the dash speaker on a 95-99 Eclipse GSX with Infinity System are 4" speakers right? Thanks. Any help would be great.

[91TalonAWD]

The front speakers are size 4T's, hope that helps.

[psyjoniz]

yea - they are 4" - when you don't get the actual speakers though, you get a little 4" insert - which is perfect for drilling out for 2" tweeters. is that what you were getting at?

[c0c0_PuF]

I've got:

Pioneer DEH-P8000R (oragnic deck)
Pioneer DEQ-7600 (EQ)
Pioneer CDX-1500 (12 Disc Changer)
2x10" Pioneer Premier Nickels
and MB Quart in place off all factory speakers.

I will be re-doing this system shortly in order to compete in sound offs. Also I will be racing my car.. So I've got lot's of weight issues to figure out.

Does anyone have a custom sub box in the back of their 2G?

I've got a 98GSX and I need to build a custom box but I want to see some ideas before I start cutting. heheh

Thanks

[psyjoniz]

i do! i do! - heh heh

I think this is the longest running thread on the board. Keep the systems coming!

[Silver Spyder]

My list:
Alpine IVA-C800 (video head unit – replaced CVA-1000)
Alpine ERA-G320 (eq)
Alpine SEA-8080 (radar sensor alarm - PITA to wire)
(2) Alpine Amps
(2) Pioneer Premier 12” Subs
Whistler 3300 (installed radar detector)

The only other things I’d like to do are replace the stock Infinities and get a better amp for the subs. But for now the system sounds good and my focus is on go fast parts.

[RealSlow]

Better late than never.....

Eclipse 55430 Head unit
Eclipse 21010 5 band EQ & selectable cross-over
Eclipse 88120.4 Aluminum 12" subs (2)
Eclipse 34230 550w x 2 (370w x 2 RMS) (2)
MB Quart Q Series 5.25" Componets



To be added
2 Eclipse CD Changers
2 Eclipse Titanium 12" subs
Eclipse 55090 DVD in dash
Eclipse In-dash TV


Kinda explains the "RealSlow" thing.....no money for mods

[RippinGSX]

Hey 91TalonAWD.....Get the Mass 12's....They are just freakin awesome and I run them with my Orion 2100HCCA wooohooo talk about some slammin bass!!!! I think your the only person besides myself that has actually done their research and checked out the Audiomobile's. Ya just can't touch these subs for any amount of $. Nothing else can touch em or even compare for the $.
