Re: What did you get done?
well, over the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to put my new stereo system together.
Going with a "budget" system, as I don't have $ to spare with 3 kids I went with a decent panasonic head unit, w/ ipod control. I had to buy a new amp...my old alpine 3555 still works but my punch 150hd died and can't be fixed, so I bought a soundstream 5 channel. I went down to a stereo shop in town, had them make be a box that would fit behind my seat with the seat all the back. I'm putting 4 8" punch woofers, they only had 3 at the time, so I gotta wait on #4. I went ahead and bought some alphasonic 5.25 & 6.5" component mids waiting for them to arrive., I know not the best but they are decent for the $. Also some qlogic kick panels. I ended up mounting the amp under my seat, only to realize, I need thicker mdf, I used 5/8 and it bows a little, so I'm tearing it out and putting 3/4, should be better. The only hard part is I keep taking the bench seat in and out, and I said f% it, leave it out til the weekend until I can get it done right, maybe my brother in law can come give me a hand. It's hard doing stuff by your self sometimes I took the rear 4x10 speaker brackets off, and I can get the 6.5" to work if I take the plastic grill off and make a plate with some 3/4 mdf. Should work out. I can't wait to hear it, getting jumpy. This will be my last project for awhile, probably until next spring, as the funds are long gone for this year. I'll take a pic or two of the end result. Last edited by pcmcobra; 09-26-2006 at 05:57 PM. |
