Ok, I couldnt wait until tuesday. Had a deep tissue massage sunday and am sore as fawk so i skipped the gym and decided to get this bish bumpin last night.
Dont beleive i posted this but these are the DLS mids as they sit now...
I picked up a set of hybrid audio technology L3s to take their place.
Weather started getting nasty so there arent many pics. All i needed was another ground for mono amp as all the other wires were already in place. Filled box with polyfill and got some terminals in and ran wire.
Pretty pumped that both amps fit side by side under the small seat in the back. Dont mind the birds nest, its only temporary...
Side note: Found the first gripe about the amps. To set them up you have to play a CD, that comes with them, in order to have the gain levels set properly. What it does is shut off outgoing signal to speakers and you have to turn volume all the way up while turning the gain knob until a check appears on the screen. Easy enough, right? No, if you have speakers hooked to head unit, like my tweeters and rear doors, It sends a screeching high pitched tone that would damage them so I had to unhook everything running off the head unit.

Once sub was installed, even with rubber gasket, i was scared it wasnt sealed tight and i was right. I could hear air pouring out from around the sub. So I made a 1/8" MDF spacer
Didnt even get a pic of it installed, was too excited. I was worried that 500 watts wouldnt cut it for me but since im over the windshield shaking bass days, its PERFECT! Sub gets plenty loud enough while still blending with the front stage almost perfectly. (still some tuning to be done). Its hard to explain but its almost sounds like there is no sub back there so I turned the music down and was like where did all the bass go? Kinda sounds like all the bass is coming from the front but after driving a few days with no sub im positive it isnt. I can say this is hands down the cleanest best sounding sub ive owned. I tried to get a video but the radio sounds like $hit, I cant record while listening t ipod, and i dont own a single CD. Ill use the wifeys phone and get a vid soon.
Now were rockin, time to make it look good...
"Amp Rack" i guess you can call it, will basically mirror the side the sub is on once its done.
Sqaures are deadener I cut the same size as the amps to see how i will arrange them. will most likely trim the front lip a little and put them side by side like in the pic above.
Ands thats where we stand. You should see some nice progress this week.
) I figured the silk dome would have a more acceptable sound for the type of music you like?
