Audio Install

sphell · 26-10-2006, 12:40 AM

Hey guys, started on Sunny's audio install today....thought I'd post some progress pics up. Most of today was spent gathering various bits and pieces for the install so work on the car started about 3pm

:

The new gear purchased today consists of 3 Alpine 12" Type S subs (Dual 2 ohm voice coils) and a Jaycar 820WRMS monoblock amp to power them. This will be added to the existing equipment from the old EB which included an Alpine 1005 in-dash monitor with TV tuner box, VCD and CD stackers, Alpine 4 channel amp (for powering front and rear speakers), Alpine DDD 6.5" splits and Alpine 6" 2 ways for the rear. There is also a Alpine time-alignment processor which may or may not be installed as well.

Sunny wants the boot to have a 'factory' look to it so we'll be sticking to grey and black carpet with a few highlights here and there, and basically just boxing off the boot.

The job should be finished over the next couple of days, so I'll keep you updated with some progress pics. Anyway, all that got done today was we removed the old LPG tank and built the sub box which is sealed and has an internal volume of 150ltrs which will suit these subs well. The battery was in the boot anyway, but has now been re-located to between the rear of the sub box and the rear seats.

Pics....

don't call the EB old :(

nice work there - should come up nicely when finished. You putting any sound deadening in as well ?

castek · 26-10-2006, 08:45 AM

looks to be a nice setup. definately will pump hard as my mate just had two type s' put in, and they sound awesome. let alone three with a good amp. will u retain any usage of boot space?

Kenaz · 26-10-2006, 10:01 AM

Sounds good (pun intended) The only problem is the dosing will be drowned out by the bass

FairmontEL · 26-10-2006, 10:20 AM

those subs kick *** i got 2! LOL should be awesome once its done

dansedgli · 26-10-2006, 10:28 AM

Looks great so far.

Should sound alright. Mmm boot rattles.

Rmyers · 26-10-2006, 01:07 PM

Very, very nice mate, can't wait to see how she comes up

Would you consider painting the install rather than carpet? Phantom purple would look kick **** with the color of your car ;) Get yourself some EF bootlid carpet aswell, since people will be looking into your boot now, it'll make the underside of the lid look a lot nicer...

Sundeep · 26-10-2006, 01:27 PM

Lol I didn't even know you were going to post this.

All credit goes to Doug, I didn't do anything except help hold down wood and move the box around :P He even chose the subs and amp and pre-ordered everything that I needed without me even knowing haha.

I recommend Doug at Eastside Installs for all your ICE needs!

Yeah man for sure it's definitely something I've wanted to do for a while. The boot has been the ugliest part of the car. The carpet was all retarded and cut up for the gas tank and I hate the boot trims so I pulled everything out.

The paint peeling off is good. It's a weight reduction technique. Nah seriously it's on the list. Just waiting for a good condition genuine second hand front bar to pop up somewhere then it's just a matter of getting it sprayed. You guys wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a decent second hand bar unless you want to pay Ford $350+

No! The gas tank had to go, it had been at the top of the list for ages.

I had my dodgy install (by me) properly installed and tuned by Doug at Eastside Installs on Tuesday - Very Professional.............

Sunny I have never seen your car - is there a link to his build or pictures as it looks awesome - love the green e-series..................

Doug's (Eastside Installs) prices aren't expensive.

Plus he comes to your home or office or where ever and you get to sticky beak on the progress

Unlike a Car Audio Shop where you have to take the car to their shop and leave it there and you dont usually get to see what they have done as its all hidden once the work is completed

Stevo · 26-10-2006, 06:28 PM

aww man thats going to be awesome. When will you do mine next doug ? I have no idea how much this would cost. I still have standard premo sound in EL :(

crannersEL · 26-10-2006, 06:41 PM

Looking good sunny, will sound awesome once all installed and tuned.

Doug did my amp install last week, and i am very happy with the setup and the professional service delivered. I highly recommend Doug at Eastside Installs for all your car audio needs!

Doug you need to get some stickers made, ill even add you to my busy rear window :-)

Paul

Damo · 26-10-2006, 07:16 PM

lol trust you to want a sticker Paul, but it's a good idea i'd put one on my car. I also reccomend Eastside Installs.

It's looking good so far was about time you had a decent sterio in your car Sunny.

Tiga_EL · 26-10-2006, 07:47 PM

Looks the goods guys.. Cant wait to hear it pump. Any plans to win some db drags here and there?
I also recomend Eastside Installs, as my whole system was pretty much put in by Doug. None of that backyard bullshit, straight to the point professional work... 10/10.

Needs a bigger amp to win.........but would be good fun to try........

Also if you have 3 subs instead of 2 subs dont you go in a different class (Pro) in db drags?

CaRtZ · 26-10-2006, 09:51 PM

yes to bigger amp... i would get the 1600w from response precision... exellant product!
yes he does go into a diff class but cant remember off the top of my head wot it is.... vist the dB drag website, it's on there...

Sick EB · 26-10-2006, 09:56 PM

thats a crazy setup- well done. if i didnt have a gas tank and i had the money i would love 2 do a setup like that

**Sorted** · 26-10-2006, 10:01 PM

MORE PICS.........DOUG OR SUNNY

Must be finished now..............lol

ROOSTA · 26-10-2006, 10:17 PM

Hmm.. Not bad.. Interesting to see when its finished.. Should come up tops..

Cheers,
Nik

Sundeep · 26-10-2006, 10:28 PM

Got some more stuff done today but not a whole lot because we both had stuff to do in the morning. Unfortunately it's still not going but the puzzle is starting to come together.

Doug's got some pics and they'll be up pretty soon I'd say.

No sorry mate no build progress pictures or anything like that on the internet at the moment but I have started one a while ago, and I have a bucketload of pictures so there should be one sometime soon I guess.

And also not going to compete or anything, never intended to get that serious.

EDIT:If anyone's interested in their own boot install I have 2 10" Alpine subs from the EB which were pretty decent, in a box for sale along with an Alpine V12 2 channel amp that ran them. It went pretty damn good in the EB but I just wanted bigger subs for the EA. Can provide RCA's and anything else required for installation. If you're interested, PM me.

Damo · 26-10-2006, 11:34 PM

are you going to be using a capacitor in this setup Sunny or an upgraded battery ?

sphell · 27-10-2006, 12:05 AM

Thanks for all the free plugs fella's! This thread sounds like an advertisement for my business lol

:

Had a few hrs free this afternoon so we did a bit more. Just finished off the sub box and trim panel and started boxing in the sides. The subs are installed in the box now and it's all mounted securely with some angled brackets. Work kind of came to a halt when we realised Sunny didn't have the RHS boot trim....need to carpet that and put it in before boxing in the other side or making the false floor.

Edit: Damo - Won't need a capacitor, IMO they are a **** item anyway, all they do is add resistance to the power supply. And when you draw current through resistance, it equals voltage drop :( The battery is only about a meter away from the amps so they'll get all the power they need.

Here's a few more pics.....
