Still waiting on my ZV.4 15'' so i thought in the mean time i could have at least SOME bass while i wait. The texts i wrote apply to the picture(s) above it. . . Decided to go with 2 SA-8 V2's Power Run 1/0 gauge Pretty heavy stuff To give you an idea Time for some Terminals Vise always works for me Starting the run All nice and neat Ground on the frame Awesome brother putting in the box with the subs Almost done AND... We have bass!!

What do you guys think of the box design?

Well. looks like a little change of plans. The dash ONLY has tweeters even though it looked like there were 2 speakers per grill. Guess the premium sound system platform came with 2 per grill. The tweets look like 1 inch im guessing. Dont know the size of the center Dash speaker or what its used for. doesnt seem to be playing anything...

Found the set of image dynamics Ctx65cs that i was going to use for my last build but never got around to it. Never been used. Hooked them up to my Home Audio Harmon Kardon HK3490 Reciever and they sound pretty crisp. reciever does around 125 per Chanel. First vid of the build log!! enjoy View My Video

Yeah, just 1 ZV4.15. Goals for the front stage are to keep up with the sub stage while still maintining crisp and clean if i chose to turn the sub off and just enjoy the front stage. I realize you cant have SPL and SQ, but id like to retain my stock locations and keep the front stage concealed to the eye. Yeah, just 1 ZV4.15.

I disagree with whomever told you that you can not achieve good sound quality while getting loud. Many installs that use HLCD and pro audio midbass drivers get nuts loud and have an excellent sound stage. Granted this level of install takes a lot more than throwing a component in the doors. So yes you can have a good imaging sound stage that gets loud as fawk. How much money do you have set aside for your front stage and how good are your install skills? One of the aspects of a well performing sound quality install is midbass. When people use the term "up front bass" what they are really describing is their midbass. Without good midbass you will never be able to blend your sub stage in with the front stage. This gives you the affect of your subbass as sounding to come from around you or in front of you versus behind you. In this area you may find the most difficult in the install. Pro audio midbass drivers coupled with a loud substage will knock your socks off (literally). But then again, how much money and skills you got? To properly incorporate a pro audio midbass driver it isn't easy but definitely doable. So........your goal maybe to have "good sounding" front stage or an "SQ" front stage. Which one do you want? I know that Sundown but a lot of R&D into their 6.5 component set. This maybe a good drop-in replacement in your stock locations for a "good sounding" front stage. Or HLCD and pro audio midbass for a "knock-your-socks-off" SQ install. Obviously the latter is much more expensive and difficult to install and tune. BTW turning the sub off and enjoying the front stage sucks IMO Why would you want to listen t only part off the music? Budget is around 350-400 for the front stage, install experience is pretty good but never have done fiberglass and not good with modifying or fitting speakers where the don't fit

But then what do i do with the door speakers? just not use them...

don't want to start fabricating or fiber glassing things. Just want a drop, plug and play style. (External sundown amp of corse) 3 way components wouldn't fit since there are only 2 holes per side on the dash..

You don't need anywhere near that much, and will only make it sound worse by adding more than you need. too much power you mean or speakers?

So i went out and looked and there are no speakers in the rear deck besides the stock 8 inch sub. Hopefully i can get a good loud setup with the remaining 7 speaker placements. Each door uses 6.5's(Front and rear) and there are also small mids and highs on the dash. I don't know the size but i am guessing 3 1/4. There is also a center speaker grill which apparently has a hold cutout underneath but does not have a speaker in it. (speaker offered in higher model) So what im planning on running are (2) 100.4's for the Front stage (3 1/4) Components for the dash (6 1/2) Coaxials for the doors front and back

If i remember correctly there are 2 in the dash and 1 in each door and i "think" 2 in the rear deck. if not then i will just end up doing 6 mids and 6 highs and end up getting a 100.4 and a 100.2. What kind of box should i do? any suggestions? dont really want to start cutting and tearing it apart. Dont mind taking the rear seats out however since you can easily put them back in. Just some bolts

yeah its going to be a pain for me to fit something exciting back there but i want to do something different than the ordinary ported enclosure

Any peek of ZV4 parts when you get a chance? Cant wait for mine to arrive at my doorstep. Dont think i know what i got myself into haha. Have 3 SA-8 V2's right now and will be switching to a ZV4 15 on a 3500

Obviously there is a difference between the... 1) X-15 2) Z V-3 15 3) Z V-4 15 I Know the difference in the V3 and V4 is the generation but i am wondering if anyone can give me any input on differences between how beefy the components are and the general differences between the 3. Maybe you guys can help me decide which one to get. Going to order 2 15's and they are going in the back of a 2008 Jeep Commander. Had 2 FI BTL's. How would 2 of these subs compare to the 2 BTL's i had?

Ordered Some damflifier and luxury liner about 7-8 months ago. Was about 160 sq. Ft of the damplifier and 90 sq. Ft of luxury liner How much sq. Ft exactly are in each box of damplifier ? And what are the measurements of each tile on the damplifier as well as the luxury liner? Thank you -Kent-
