head unit: Eclipse CD1200. I got it for the high quality components, and I like the classic looks of it. I kind of wish I would have gotten another alpine with time correction but that would just open up a whole other can of worms (processors, eqs, etc)

front speakers and front door woes: Infinity reference 6.5 2 ways. These could use more power than the deck can provide, so I'll be looking for a 2 channel class a amp soon. meanwhile, i've always had good luck with infinity, and these work at a little more than 3 ohm so they get a little more juice out of a head unit at the cost of heat, which isn't an issue with the eclipse deck. I got these ones in hopes of getting more midbass with the +1 rolled surround however he sad fact seems to be that EF doors eat midbass like kobayashi eats hot dogs. These are by far the worst doors I've ever encountered. stock, they resonate terribly at 120hz and below, giving very little output. I applied 2 layers on the outside and 2 layers behind the speaker of cascade vb2 which I have had a roll of for some time. I covered all of the access holes in the door with aluminum gutter mesh before I covered with vb2 but I wasn't able to completely seal the doors due to the way the seatbelt reels are attached. With the sound deadening applied I did get more midbass output and less resonance but it is far from eliminated and i'm not going to put anymore weight on so further damping is out. I could really use that time correction, damn.

I can get some pics of the door installs up if anyone is interested.

rear fill: none

subwoofer: I'm running a RE Audio SE 12 in a 1 ft^3 sealed enclosure. Power is from a Planet Audio 1250.1d rated at 700x1 w @ 2 ohm. The power rating is accurate measured at the speaker terminals (I get about 37v which is a nut hair under 700w @ 2ohm). I fucked around with some ideas for enclosures and built 3 different ones, this one is the one I threw together last night and today

As you can see there is no way the magnet is going inside that enclosure so I'll be power mounting the sub (magnet facing out). It's not a particularly pretty sub, but it'll work.

It does fit under the little shelf so I can still put on the hatch cover if I had one. It is designed to make use of the availible airspace behind the tire well, which is a good .5ft^3. I could have made a fiberglass mold but I'm lazy.

It should be ready to go after I seal it up with fiberglass resin (it's pretty well sealed with liquid nails but just in case). Then the stealth panels will go on and it will get carpet. It will be well secured to the car, and the sub will be installed with tamperproof screws.

You can see in one pic that the amp is set into the spare tire well and you can see it thru the false floor. I threw that part together in like 2 hours so it's really ghetto. I'll redo that part whenever I feel like it, for now it works.

What does fargostreet think?
