92 Volvo wagon GagaGansta Build!

[Dictator 39]

Vehicle is 1992 volvo 240 wagon

The goal of this build was to get loud on the mids and highs and get as loud and low as possible on two 12's!!!!!!!!!First box for this system was really nice but not enough port area so the bl's werent liking it very muddy sounding wasnt happy so i pulled out my old box and trimed it up to fit the vehicle and it was a perfect match up. Moves some air like it should!

electrical consist of 275amp Ohio generator Alternator a 17ft run of welding supply 1/0guage all connections crimped with hydraulic crimper thanks to "Sirlancelot" Yellow top optima g34 upfront with one kinetic 2400 in the rear atm have one more to add in just ran out of 1/0guage terminals.

Equipment: Clarion Deck 4volt preamp with decent equalizer good budget deck

-Bass Amp Cresendo Audio 3500bc upgraded from a Aq200d very happy with the cresendo!!!

-Mids highs amp: Mb Quart Q series 150rms x4 the components are 2.7ohms so its running at a lower Independence amps alright heats up real quick in 100degree weather like boiling eggs on top of it type heat.

-Components Polk MM 6.5'sx2 125rms for each pair. They sound really good taking all the power from the mb quart with no problem!

Pics of the old setup for recap for the peeps.

Old Aq was a really good amp for a budget build for only 389 shipped. Then they raised the price to 429$ not worth it to me.

That was about it for the old setup didn't have enough time to finish everything until i Sal the crescendo 3500d and i had to have it was so sexy and cheap! Was running the crescendo on the fi's in the stained in the varnish box received more output of the subs the quality of sound was really muddy didnt not enjoy it at all!

For the mids highs where the sound was coming from wasnt a big deal i just wanted to get loud! I know your suppose to have sound coming from left to right but fiberglass takes to much time. So i just decided to stick on the mids and highs in a speaker pod enclosure made out of mdf then vinyl it sounds really good actually not that bad for the sound coming from behind.

Picture of the other subwoofer box has alot more port area then the stained and varnished box. Not as pretty looking though but who cares as long as it gets loud and low!

The amps in the compartment the car has little messing only because the volt meter run was a little short so its going across everything!

One kinetic 2400 need to build a enclousure for the battery to keep it stable but its fine for now nothing is going to spark or do any damage.

Mids highs from back you can see how they are not going anywhere with the stillets on them.

Old sub box chilling on box's while i take out the subs out!

Dont bother the oil leaks on drive way a shitty ford f-250 did that go figure a ford vehicle .

Now with the subs installed with the box with lot more port area MADE a huge difference on the lows and the quality of sound!!!!!!!

Last photo of Clarion with voltmeter and working on mounting gain knob!

Thats all the pictures for now have only one more thing left to install which is the kinetic 2400 then ill be happy for the time being!

Loving all the pictures, I like the soundbar although not sure how well itd sound right behind your head.

Love the look of the FIs and big dustcap.

Wish I could hear another Volvo wagon

Really not that bad sounding not as bad as i though it would be still have the stock 5inchs on the 2front doors and 3inchs on rear cant hear them though. Going to a show on the 19th in Charleston see how everybody thinks of it. Pops thinks it's killer specially for classic rock likes the little drum kick and smooth clarity of the polks.

Your soundbar has motivated me to do some more work on my front stage

Trying out some wacky ideas, who knows how it'll sound, only one way to find out

Replaced my tweets in the dash and started fiberglassing a kicker panel today. Opened the moonroof to get some ventilation, and now it won't close..

Moon and sunroofs can be really nice, but they can be a royal pain in the arse!!

Still planning on doing a front stage in the future for more of a quality sound. Sounds good though for the time being

I know for GMs they have these little plastic add on 6.5" pods with a tweeter hole that snap in by the driver and passenger seats. Not too familiar with Volvos though. That way you don't have to cut your doors.
