Look at that Chris pulls through once again you da man

I actually saw this once before on ebay but I guess I most of over looked the tc part because I remember the simple page layout the pic they posted and all that but honestly do not remember it saying tc before.

Well everyone I am about to start the removal of the interior... I will be doing this project in steps because it is hard with work, and everything else in life to find the time but I will probably be removing the hatch and rear panels today. Tomorrow I should receive my wires from Knukonceptz and Friday hopefully I shoudl receive all my speakers and amps from Elemental Designs. So i will first be doing the hatch and rear of the tc then I will be doing the door panels and then possibly the floor... depends on the amount of materials left. Then I will be running my speakers and amps, I want the amps hidden probably behind the rear panels like Chris did but not sure once I take everything apart I will look into clearance issues, then once the dampening and door speakers and amps are run I will be putting in the subs. I want everything stealth on this one so if I can not figure out where to put the amp I might have to do something in the hatch behind the taillights where the hatch "wings" out you know behind the wheelwells. Hopefully everything will work out right and it will be good. My main concern is once everything is out, that it will not go back together properly.

^^ take pictures of the entire process to better refresh your memory when it goes back together...

Well I have a problem now...

WHERE DO THE PASSENGERS SIT?????

I guess when I installed my amp over a year and a half ago I did not do ask good as a job as I thought I did ground out my amps. One question now. Got Rust?

PghtC

wow! Is that the rear seat bracket? That's insane it rusted up like that.

justmyluck

PghtC, Yes that is the rear seat bracket passenger side one... thats what happens when you think you have a good ground and you don't and you get a good flow of electrical current through it... causes rust. NO big deal now I just got to find me a good ground point. So for future reference to everyone the rear seat bracket passenger side, the center bolt in the back of the seat is NOT a good ground point.

PghtC

use one of the nuts that hold the struts tight if you amp is in the hatch area.

CXT

ok i went to order my 700's for the 3 way set up and I dont know which Voice Coil Configuration to chose dual 2 or dual 4?

justmyluck

Well I actually plan on putting my amps behind the rear panels HOPEFULLY... once my stuff from ED comes in I can start deading my car with the eDead v3 and then I will rerun all my wires for my system then I will be putting in my front components and then finally the amps and then the subs. That is if everything goes as planned.

CXT

Hey just what part of florida are you from?

PghtC

If you plan on running them both off of single channel, it all depends on what load you want to run on the amp. Is it a mono amp which is 2ohm stable, 1ohm stable? Is it a 2-channel amp, and each channel can support 2ohms, etc? What amp are you running, and what are the power specs of the output at the stable load values?

3 way, D4's on a Nine.2(or Nine.4 if you're using the rear channels for 700s and fronts for components) or D2's on a Nine.2X.

I have spoken.

CXT

LOL. Im pretty much dong whatever you say. If you say use shoestring and fishing line to connect it all, I say sounds good to me.

mandos

Nonono...painters tape is key

Since I can't do anything IN the car this weekend, hopefully I can come up w/a workable box for you.

CXT

Schhhhhweeet. I gotta order all the other stuff tomorrow

Well CXT if you were asking me where I am from in Florida... I would have to say Vero Beach you know that little town where all this damn old rich people or coming down and taking over. wait isn't that the whole state of FLorida. I do believe it is.

Well two things first off I thought you told me to run my 2 d4's off of the nine.2x chris, should I have gotten the d2 so I could have ran the subs in series and each sub off its own channel?

And also I think UPS drops alot of stuff or this V3 does not like being trapped in these aluminum cans. Just got my two gallons of "Smurf Paint". Also got all my wires in from Knuknoceptz but my camera batteries just crapped out on me so no pic and I am not going in the other room to get some more batteries and wake everyone up.

Here is the wires

mandos

UPS doesn't like the cans.

Yours as subs should be running like I said I recommended the D2's to CXT because of running as midbass rather than subs.

justmyluck

Alright man I figured you knew what you was talking about I just wanted to make sure I don't want to damage these subs when they get in but if something like that does happen I guess I will just have to pick up some more right? And since they are like $50 bucks a sub that aint to bad.

My goodies have arrived!!!!
