not a darn thing wrong with being crafty

we encourage it here at the GVC

I agree, I saw that and thought it was a very ingenuous idea. Must help with keeping the amp nice and cool, right?

Very. It hasn't thrown a thermal since.

Hatchwagon, how does the Polks sound amped??

My previous system, I just like to show what can be fitted under the factory floor height.

8.6" P.C. monitor

Cables ran

4" JL Audio in the kick Panel

Zapco CK-16.5 6.5" in the front door

Zapco DSP-6 in rear passenger side panel

Windows P.C. in drivers side rear panel

2 Zapco 360.4 amps, a Zapco 500.1 amp and DIYMA Refrence 12 12" sub

2 more Zapco 500.1 amps and fused distribution on top of previous pic

And a beauty board to tie it in.

Sorry for posting the pics for the millionth time, but this was probably my favorite install that I have done and I like to share it

Wish I could tell you, my amp is a 1-channel so it only powers my sub. They sound pretty good running off the HU's stock wattage though. Lost the thump the factory system had, but the highs are crisp and clear, and I have the sub for bass

Sounds amazing with our car's acoustics, hatchbacks are perfect for some bass.

Hey guys just deaden the hatch! Before I did my first SQ install I was pulling 150.2 (TermLab) at 60hz in a street beat box tuned to 45hz. With music I got rattles from pressure, When I went to SQ (only 133.2 Audiocontrol SA-3055 meter) I had more rattles from the hatch due to the enclosure being secured to the car and transferring the vibrations from panel to panel as opposed to just having pressure beat the hell out of everything. I added about 30lbs of deadener to the hatch and the cover and the thing never made another peep. It was a pain in the (removed) to open but it would shut itself after you pulled it down an inch. The only rattle I had that couldn't be cured was the muffler!

Deaden the hatch you will not be sorry.

That is amazing audiovibe. Looking at those pictures blew my mind. Kudos on the build.

07cdnvibe · Post by **07cdnvibe** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 8:22 pm

have removed spare tire and made a fibreglass board to house my amps, did some LED edge lighting for the living loud sign, this is my first attempt at a build of this nature. I have painted the back side of the hinged floor black but dont have any pictures of it yet.

A Psycho Martyr · Post by **A Psycho Martyr** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:29 am

is overheating the amps an issue at all?

07cdnvibe · Post by **07cdnvibe** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 4:41 am

no i have Dual 5 inch fans mounted on either side of the panel that turn on with the remote, the fans and the lights are wired to a switch that is activated with the hinge when the panel is down the fans are on and the lights are off, open the panel and the fans turn off and the lights come on, I can run the system hard and the amps dont get any warmer than my friends who are mounted in the open.

A Psycho Martyr · Post by **A Psycho Martyr** » Tue Aug 28, 2012 9:52 am

Very clever.
That's a pretty cool setup.
Functionality AND the fun of showing it off

Mine's just stupid loud, but really nothing special about it

07cdnvibe · Post by **07cdnvibe** » Tue Aug 28, 2012 10:14 am

Loud is good, I have built mine to sound good a well as be loud best of both worlds lol have you db'd yours I have hit 142.9 with 2 10' s would live to hear what 2 15' s would do.

A Psycho Martyr · Post by **A Psycho Martyr** » Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:00 pm
