The V40 Rebuild, Front Stage Only. Update: Rear cargo area.

[ssh 924]

With the help of fellow ssa members, especially Sean, Brad, and Lithium; I've been able to narrow down my choices to the following equipment.

2 Exodus ex-anarchy, playing double duty (midbass, midrange)

2 Peerless hds tweeters

1 Eclipse ea4100 4 channel amplifier

1 Jbl ms8

The plan is mounting each ex-anarchy and hds tweeter in the kick. MS8 and 4channel amp will be mounted in the cargo area, next to rear battery.

[ssh 924]

I know people like pictures so......

Haven't decided if that will be the final mounting place for the display.

MS8 and Eclipse amp will be mounted in this:

May try smoothing it out and doing a piano finish later, or not.

Started the bases for the kicks, Have to wait until all the drivers show up before I can progress.

Should be awesome, definitely something that I'll have to hear. I might go active soon too so it'll be nice to hear the Exodus in person. Good luck man.

Should be a nice sounding setup, looking foward to the outcome!!

Thanks, We'll definitely meet up once I'm done and content, I still need to hear your car, changing it about as fast as I do LOL.

Can anyone guess what these are?

ROFL, Yep there skars. Glad you could read, and...they don't have anything to do with my build.

Mount that display in the dash somewhere. Looking good so far!

Below my headunit I have an empty single din dash pocket (which doesn't have quite enough height) So maybe I can cut it up and do "something", well see later today.

Paperweights? A giant lie? Chronic confusion? I give up.

If it was a dog, I'd put it down.

Heh, I should get my stuff soon enough that I can use the hot days to my advantage (faster curing for fiberglass).

Oh and, Do it! I wanna see another build log.

[Adrian_D 520]

It's funny that you have the same amp as I do

Good luck on the build, I'll stay tuned for more pics

RAM_Designs on here had it up for sale and it looked like it does everything I need, so I figured why not.

More pictures once the drivers show up and I can start doing some work.

YEP. lol. I noticed the mounting piece but didn't see any good place to make use of it. Figured I'd cut some wood and make a little frame for the display then stick it somewhere.

After mounting the frame, I was like WTF, I could just use the mounting piece here and it would look ten times better, god dammit.

Sounds like something I'd do, looks good though.

You may not want a tip with making a glass'd/bondo shell, if so I will delete this post.

If you decide to relocate the controller to a more discrete location and the supplied mounting hardware will not work try making your shell out of green floral foam. It is super easy to work with and you can shape it into any form.

Sweet Edouble, what shops locally would carry this sort of stuff? Like Joanns?

Walmart

[ricksi30 923]

Michael's, or Joanne's. If Walmart does have it that might be the best price wise. Thanks E, nice trick!
