What im starting with:

Source:
Pioneer Premier F90-BT

The Goods:
1X JL Audio W7 10
1X JL Audio 500/1
1X JL Audio 300/4
1X Hertz HSK-163 3-way components
1X Tsunami 2 Farad Capacitor
2X Tsunami RCA's
Tsunami 4awg power and ground
Tsunami 8awg speaker wire 2X 6ft runs
Monster Audio 14awg THX Ultra600 speaker wire



Ok, so i had the W7 in the car for a bit and was very dissapointed with the clarity and output i was getting out of the ZEnclosure i had purchased. many have been very satisfied with their ZEnclosure's so maybe its just that the W7 dosnt like to be sealed or maybe i got a lemon or something even though it appeared to be made very well. either way, Its time for some porting action

i moddified the ZEnclosure pretty heavily.

TO HELL WITH TERMINALS, so i removed the terminals on the side opting for some straight 8awg wire running through a piece of mdf.

HORRAY PORTS, i added a slot port on the side with the terminals that had internal measurments of 4x1.5 (OD of 5.5x3) tuned to 32hz

more to come when i get home... leaving class now

 

sounds awesome except you bought monster cable shame on you. we need pics .

 

whats wrong with monster? the thx ultra 600 stuff is supposed to be really good shiit

has better ratings than any of the car specific stuff i could find

•CL3 Rated for In Wall Installation
•70 FT of Length
•Heavy Duty DuraFlex Jacket for Maximum Protection
•LPE Dielectric Reduces Signal Loss & Large Gauge Precision Wound Strandings for Greater Overall Clarity
•Time Correct Windings and Patented Magnetic Flex Tube


just have a few pics i managed to snap before my criminal research methods final today

 

New stuff on the chopping block

since the w7 needs a 1" baffle and the ZEnclosure thats "made for the w7" only has a 3/4" baffle... time for a speaker ring

while im at it im going to make a port finisher on the outside so i dont just have a open hole.

recessing the x-overs in the amp rack with plexi and backlighting them

 

got it all in and...... man what a damn difference

just have to work out some port turbulence and it will be perfect

 

sounds good man.

Nothing is wrong with monster except its usually 2 to 3 times the price of the same caliber wiring. I boycot it at all costs.

 

i got 70ft for $30, thats $0.42/ft all of the decent "car stuff" was $0.50/ft and most of that wasnt even twisted

 

sounds great...but i could use some pics.

 

trying to find a camera, my dad borrowed mine to go to texas

it sounds at least 4x louder and 2x cleaner so im thrilled, wasnt even sure if it was going to work out

 

UPDATE!

Heres the few i did manage to take before my camera got hijacked

MMMMmmmm 8awg

Dampen much?

Dohh! took too much carpet on the left of the ring

the x-overs will be at 60* angles on either end

yes i cleaned all of the saw dust off before i installed them



i feel kinda bad, in my flurry of installing stuff i found a blue under car kit and decided.... WHY NOT? so i added at least 8 more Rice points for that one... but hey, it looks good with the 8000k parking lights and the blue led's back lighting the x-overs

i need to expect more of the "hey Tokyo Drift (or DK), betcha that things fast" to which i always reply "My Ferrari is faster"

 

nice work but no comment on the undercar kit.

 

yeah, not too proud of it but it was free so i figured why not
