Thanks audio guru....:) but mine is the old AVX2494, just a 20giig Hd in that one.

However...changes to this system are on the shelf awaiting install. The freakin car has been in Charlotte for two months now :cry:

No where near guru. :) Eclipse anything to me is nice stuff. Can't wait to see the new models.

Charlotte for two months? Why so?

Usual snags...shipping, trouble-shooting, parts shortages. All o-k except this last isssue is a problem...she's running rich at idle...SSV suspect, so we're going back to the Crawford to test. I really want that intake to work...likey bling in the bay, but now time is really working against me as I have quite a few other things scheduled for install prior to ZDayZ. But if it's not running right...well, that's the main concern so I'm am not rushing the crew to find a solution. When it's all done I'll post up what's been installed since Jan 9, 06 when this LAST round of mods started.

Had to dig up the old thread. She is almost done and pics will be posted up soon of the new sub enclosure and amp rack. :)

Audio Update / Excellent soundstage and easy to Control

The Eclispe sub was removed from behind the driver's seat. In it's place we installed another "glovebox" that will hold two laptops, camera bag, tripod and tools with room to spare.


This fiberglass enclousre (wickedCAS.com) has been on the market for a while. Very well made with ~1.75/1.85 3^ft of air space. Nazar supplies vinyl that is a very close match for the Z. Your installer will be responsible for covering the enclosure....he does not ship them with the vinyl already affixed as far as I know.

The installer finishing up with the last sub just prior to tuning. The enclosure's speaker face was painted Silverstone + three coats of clear.


The amp sits at an angle and the 20 farad cap and line driver are hidden.


After tuning the subs were removed. He drilled 8 holes in the box and attached it to frame of the strut tower with screws. The screws are covered with silicone. Nazar recommends using a "thread-setter" kit. Youc an contact he or Justin for instructions.


The Plexi with the "Z" outined in carpet proved too flimsy, was not really my taste and did not showcase the hand assembled transistors in the TRU amplifier. This one is MDF covered in carpet with a 1/2 inch Lexan insert. Much more stable.

Control

By simplying fading Front to Rear the subs are easy to control. Truthfully, the SEAS Lotus "The Reference" components provide an outstanding soundstage on their own. If I really want to feel the lower frequencies I just fade to the middle.


I used to group Playlists on the HU according to EQ settings. Not anymore.


Finally, here is the Kinetik CD1400 battery. Terminals not included.


This setup is primarily for SQ, not for show. I did want to be able to see the amplifier. The OE Nissan carpet for the hatch area was atlered so it will fit the floor and cover the Lexan.
