    car- 00 olds intrigue equipment -deadening -raammat all over the fucking place.. afew layers in the doors and 1 in the trunk (along with some dynamat extreme) -mlv and cc foam from sds (didnt read about SDS till after the raammat install.. ) -source -clarion dxz 785usb -amps -kicker -kx250.2 mids -kx250.2 midbass -zx100.2 tweets -kenwood -kac x10d ~150 watts @ 8 ohms to sub -speakers -tweeter -dayton nd20 -mid -tang band w4 1337sd -midbass -peerless sls 8" -sub -mach 5 mj 18 (old style) 8 ohm -wiring -knukoncepts rca -1 run kicker 4 gauge -1 run stinger 4 gauge (got it for free) -14 gauge speaker wire -some other random distro's and 8 gauge mixed in... so i already made the molds of the kicks a month or so back. after that i tried to sculp the mids out of expandable foam.... decided it wasnt working out right for the passenger side and gave up. here are few pics of the passenger side. passenger side build - nothing fg'd yet, just aimed and grill cloth stretched over here is the driver side. having to deal with the ebrake pedal was a bit annoying.. i also tried to sculp this side out of foam.. turned out to be a waste of money.. but whatever this is how i did the aiming.. pretty scientific instruments here! lmao some other tools ordered plenty of grill cloth! pic of both 0 gauge to do a new ground.. right now its pretty ghetto also my 50 foot roll of speaker wire.. already have 2 runs in the car but this stuff is so cheap why not pick a bunch up. almost ordered the 100 ft roll my section of the garage... dad doesn't give me much space my old peerless 3" fullranger (you can see the stacks of cds i picked up for xmas...) panoramic shot of the computer monitors. ssa ftw! (23" and 2 17", and another 19 not seen) adding some output to this lighter! mj 18 next to my AA arsenal 12 messed around with the 12 for afew weeks. the mj is going back in though tang band w4, sexy as hell! actually this is the only one i have while the other is on back order till the 11th of jan. lil dayton nd20 my xmas in a partsexpress box alittle backround on the mj18, i put it together myself after getting the motor from a member here and ordered the basket and recone from mach 5 some pics of how its installed pics of the amps installed. actually doesn't show the 4th amp, i got it later and i think ill be redoing the amp rack later on.. amps upside down under false floor sls 8's in the doors zero cutting hehe trunk is deadened.. doors have it coveredddd (ya im an idiot with a million layers). also have mlv and CC foam in the doors

    lithium's build- 3way +sub

    thanks, not sure on the size. currently they will be sealed. if that doesn't work out ill try aperiodic into the carpet. and if that fails ill cut some carpet and vent it out. actually if i decide to cut some carpet ill just redo the pods. there is at least 3 inches of carpet and foam before you get to metal in the kicks.. i could probably fit the driver side pod behind the e brake and not interfere with it

    lithium's build- 3way +sub

    honestly i have no idea how to relocate it besides completely removing it. its still functional with the pod installed the wiring its pretty ugly now that i added the 2nd kx250.2 but i plan to mount it overtop of the other one and add some fans for cooling. hopefully i have enough depth... otherwise ill have to come up with something or redo the entire amp rack

    open to any advice, thoughts, comments, etc. sorry about the shitty cell phone pics i think i need to change the shape of the lower portion of the passenger side kick so it matched the driver side. ill get better pics up of both of them in my car to give you guys a better idea of how they look.

    shipping 18' sub

    i've never shipped a sub but i assume you want to atleast match the way its shipped from factory. look around im sure you can find some info, picture, etc.

    Boston Acoustics SPG555

    Link is bad dude. i dont know anything about the sub and never heard it. i can see that the oval design is just to increase surface area, like the kicker square subs. i assume it probably has the same problems, given that the cone is not circular, there is added stress to the cone which can cause failure. i dont know if this sub has a problem with this.. regardless it still is just a gimmick. the replaceable coil is just another gimmick imo. buy a sub from Fi or other company and get a recone if it fails..

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i already had the molds of the kick panels glassed and rings cut out (think i might redo them smaller). i went a head and aimed the right side. such a pain in the ass to get it right using wooden dowes (sp?). probably still aiming to high so ill work on it awhile. the part i hate is that i could cut the carpet out and the the foam behind that to open up so much more space.. but i think ill save that for the summer.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    what luck, someone is did a kick panel install and gave me some great idea's for mine. im considering removing the emergency brake... maybe i can work around it somehow.. i made alittle progress.. ill have to start the build log soon

    active set up cheap suggestions

    then take that 200 hundred and email don at SDS and get yourself some deadening. for active your going to need some processing, it can be from a new headunit, amp, or separate crossover. possibly the better option would be to get something like the sundown 100.4 if you want to keep your hu. deadening should really come first

    2 Fi X 12's or one SSD 15?

    18 ssd? haha just kidding unless you have the room. im not so certain it will be an audible difference between the two option after factoring in the install and box. maybe one of the Fi guys will chime in here with better info

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I hope we (SSA), when I try to explain why we change things it makes sense to people and is objective and simple enough. For example some of the changes on the Icon, mostly were about increasing abuse tolerance, and to do that we adjusted the suspension to a tiny bit stiffer, went to a harder dustcap and went to heartier leads to take more abuse, to add to that we have some adjustments coming to the Xcon too, but I will leave that for a later date. You don't have to, you aren't touting them as the second coming of god. man is that thread spiraling out of control. i bet they get pissy and close the thread because they feel threatened
