sure will be, a mate had a 9512 and that was the inspiration. he only had it on a jaycar d class so powering it below its wrms rating. mine powered properly should match it... and in a wagon!! after work today i stopped in at jaycar and got a 12" sub cover and some wiring terminals but i don't know if i will use the terminals now... gargh ok since 6.30 i have - gotten kfc gone to bunnings bought - gaffa tape / no more gaps selleys / bitumen paint / wax and grease remover / rags / wood screws (mdf was not available in the size i wanted) got home stripped out all the crap from my car. stripped cargo area and doors (inc speakers / spare wheel / tailgate / dust covers etc) wax and grease removed all doors and all cargo area opened up bitumen paint, seems too solid for my needs maybe b/c of the melbourne temp maybe the product. i will return it tommorow, have a squiz at the more liquid stuff and if thats still no good head over to knox carpets where i got my last tin from. moved onto making cardboard inserts which will later be taped and dynamatted over to enclose the interior side of the doors. pics when they load amp should arrive tommorow (actually later today its past 12...) also need to get bitumen paint and mdf. start cutting speaker spacer templates and start soundproofing doors as well as drop sub box components at my builder mates place. damn, doesn't look like that much work in those pics.

OK Mitch, what's going on. You have red eyes and your buddy is asleep. I know what your smoking. Looks like the install is coming along well. You'll have to tell us if that sound proofing really works. Can't wait to see the end result. Have to post some pictures up when finished. And the graphics on the sub box look wicked.

one question i got is why didnt u use the factory axis mounts in the doors to mount the speakers? wouldve improved the sound stage

looks good i need to get that dna thing too, do you have a link? **** i just saw the pics nice work LOL found that link for that single din plastic thing, its $50 + post. cant wait to get it!

HTURBO - hey man! yeah the sound deadening is bomb especially in the doors. the mid bass is amazing compared to what i was getting out of my previous setup. i had to remove two of the baffles in each front door which sucks because i can hear the sound difference they actually made! Quote: Originally Posted by ADICTIV one question i got is why didnt u use the factory axis mounts in the doors to mount the speakers? wouldve improved the sound stage adictv - the stock mounts are plastic, and are 6". my speakers are 6.5" and the mdf is 2 x 18mm thick spacers... the plastic would be pushing 5mm thick. to properly modify and firm up the stock gear i would have had to pretty much scrap them to use them as templates for fibreglass setups. mdf is easier and the sound difference isn't that great. ROKN- i bought mine on ebay with a wiring harness and aerial adaptor for under $100 posted. also its a 2 din unit but one din is filled with a cd / sunglasses pocket.

updates??

not much to update man. i did this over easter and all thats left is making some false floors for the footwells. box is sealed and ports tuned @ say 40

updates you say? well it appears one of my front woofers have fried but its ok dont stress!!! i ordered a set of Digital Designs DDC6.5 6.5" 2 Way Splits from the mea store. should arrive in a few weeks (paid via paypal e-cheque so it will be a while) and then i will be able to bang them in yay! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

UPDATES - rear false floors - not bad huh? also the DDC6.5"s arrived and are hooked up with the mb crossovers and tweeters. btw i am cruising this around springnats weekend and going to put the 15"s on with vz exec hubbies. any other ideas on making it a non target? TBH i don't think i can make it any less of a sleeper without removing the sub and the carload of young males! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

y did u make false floors?

there are amplifiers under there. it allows me to retain the full cargo and seating area and also hide the system so peering eyes don't get excited.

what about the heat man? might get pretty hot amps under there with no airflow?

so far no issues at all with heat. in summer i have a/c on the feet and the air flows under the seats and onto the amps. both have safety shutoffs so if they ever do overheat i will know and will be able to have a second think. but as i said i have been running this flatout since easter with no hassles re heat.

hey mate just curious to know why you chose a wagon to do this? and not a sedan? dave.

i prefer a wagon as a daily for sleeping in / parts hauling / 5 passengers and a huge boot. i didn't choose the car for an install, i chose the install for the car. the wagon has the downside of no rear shelf for staging and a visible cargo area for security but on the other hand is a much more versatile vehicle and the install shows that it is quite possible to retain full use of the car with a loud system. the other upside is the fact you are sitting in an area which is not seperated from the cargo space means spl is through the roof. biggest problem is roof flex CBF pulling the rooflining off to fix it. i am hoping to make time to enter an spl comp sometime over the xmas period. should be interesting. i can't even begin to crank it to it's potential. too much pain Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

oh k, i understand what you mean well your certainly accomplishing it. good luck with it all anyway Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if anyone cares i'm looking at upgrading again. read here for details http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/...suit-my-needs/ (http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums/index.php/topic/566778-ddw-or-ddwa65-in-vy-wagon-rear-doors-suit-my-needs/)

OK guys, I've been scouting around and i think the next phase of my audio life is beginning. I'm looking at upgrading my front stage, new 4ch amp and sealing my dd. I'm looking at purchasing - Crescendo Sonata 4ch amplifier 4 x 100wrms @ 4ohm or 2 x 300wrms @ 4ohm bridged Morel Ovation 6" 120wrms 4 ohm and 500wmax sealed box DD2512 powered by an old Alpine MRD1000 v12 Currently I'm running - kicker 4 x 75wrms amplifier ddc 6.5" woofers with mb quart crossovers and tweeters front stage mb quart coaxial 6.5" rear doors ported dd2512 with the MRD What I want to obtain from my upgrade - when i went to the ddc woofers up front i gained midbass but lost some sq definately. i'm looking to regain that and the sub is tuned at about -12 to -14 db in normal conditions so i'd like to go sealed, run a bit more power through it but hopefully obtain more punch / crispness. I'm also upgrading the 4channel as one i think i would benefit from higher wrms per channel into my speakers but also because I can pass all of these speakers and amps to my dad as he has been inspired by my last few builds. the only thing i'm not so sure about with all of the above is if i should retain the ddc woofers and power them in the rear doors or just keep the front stage on a bridged amp? i think this might be a trial and error question answered by my personal taste. anyway should have a decision made by end of weekend ---------- Post added 23-06-12 at 03:37 ---------- morel's crescendo genesis i've been offered Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
