I would wait to mount the tweets until you get the mids in and are able to listen to both locations ( or maybe if different places if needed ) .

that's how i'll do it then. thanks

btw, ever put a scope on your 9813 ? just wondering where yours starts to clip

how about orientating the mids ? they will be placed in the door because i have a manual and big feet

I wonder who the noob was who used two different colored fuses on his eclipse ea4000 before he sold it to you... oh wait. It was me. Glad it found a new home.

*giggles*

2 colour fuses = funky :cool32:

thank you for the deal

it was a major pita fitting 2 gauge in those tiny terminals

mine starts clipping around 29-30 iirc . Not much you can do with them in the doors besides deaden the poo poo out of the doors , and isolate the baffles as much as possible. You could try a slight angle up and towards the center , but I'm not sure it would help much

Why didn't you just mount under the rear seat? It seems like you went through a lot to get it to mount under the front.

seems like i'll need a little more play-time with the scope wired up.

going with the mids flat on the door seemed like the easiest way

tried it with the sub amp, which is considerably smaller than the 4 channel and i couldn't fit it

maybe the 4 door is diffrent from the 2 door in regards to rear seat size ?

[Adrian_D 520]

we've got power captain !

not connected yet to the battery. and i still have to do the big 3. well, more like big 1 because only the alternator to battery positive will get done first.

teh distro "in action"

lego time ! as soon as i was done with the wiring my tow bar showed up

[Adrian_D 520]

bump

wait, i got some pics

[Adrian_D 520]

outer skin finally done on both doors

the mli's have a humungus basket and it obviously didn't fit through the stock opening. it was time to bust out the trusty sheet metal scissor (sp?)

almost there with mounting the head unit. i need to pull it out again and make some bigger holes in the bracket because the way it it now, it sits too much inside the dash and i can't mount the trim ring

seems like the lcd display on the scope isn't extremely accurate. but at least i can tell volume 30 is clean (2nd pic)

still waiting for some more deadener. the front doors need a bit more deadener and the rear doors are done ( 1 layer on the outer skin)

i need to call the guy at the milling shop, so i can order the aluminum rings and then it's time to hear the mli's

[Adrian_D 520]

ah, the moment i've been waiting for some time :

it was a beyotch to widen the holes in the brackets but i know it's not going anywhere

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Glad you are making progress!!

[Adrian_D 520]

Glad you are making progress!!

wish i could get more done but i'm having trouble finding aluminum.

10mm is a bit thin if i decide on using mdf for the rings

[Adrian_D 520]

i know you missed me

since the guy at the milling shop didn't have 10mm or 5 mm Al, i bought some electric insulation material. 10mm thick, really light and strong. no troubles taping the mounting holes.

here's how the stuff looks :

really router friendly and seems like a cool alternative to mdf for ~$5 / lb

this is what i've managed to do today

[aznboi3644 2]

where did you get that electric insulation stuff to make your baffles with???

[Adrian_D 520]

local electric supply shop. same place i bought my wires from.

don't ask me how it's called. i'm not from the us and i have no clue what's called in english

[///M5 2,833]

what is it called?

Looking good! I bet you can't wait to hear it.

[tejcurrent 13]

Looking good. I feel your pain on that hitch

[Adrian_D 520]

i have fought the urge to listeon too long.

but with the mli's installed and gains set, i gave them a whirl. holy mid-bass batman

they play really nice down to ~60hz. not going to say anything about the rest of the spectrum as they're still stiff.

i've also thrown the tweeters on the dash and played a little with time alignment.

onto the pics :

free closed cell foam ftw !

thickness of the modelling clay

all done (only took pics of the passenger side)

[///M5 2,833]

Looks good mang!

[topgun 262]

Very nice!

[Adrian_D 520]

3 layers at this time

[Acidburn 10]

damn, that looks like a very good start dude

[Adrian_D 520]

thanks

here's one more ...

couldn't have done it without the advice you guys gave me in the ihop

[Guest zedman]

Why didnt you pull that panel out pop out that inner panel and glass the cavity behind it then you wouldn't stick out real far past the side and you could deaden seal and foam behind it while you are at it. I am not putting you down i was just wondering though. iy looks awesome for what you have done so far. and it seems like you are glassing like a pro. have a great day. Z
