hey fellas heres my latest soundsystem (in the build) standard vy acclaim wagon + vy ss 18"s - badges cd player -DXZ776USB clarion 24 bitt DAC mp3 / wma / cd / cdr / cdrw / fm / am / aux in / usb 2 sets of pre outs + 1 set of sub pre outs slideface! this was installed with an ebay special dna install kit, pretty easy when you figure out not to use the cradle! ok we also have a lightning audio wiring kit. so far consisting of - 3 x rca's 1 x power wire 4ga (run through the main wiring harness plug in firewall) 1 x earth wire 4ga (earthed into seatbelt mount) 2 x distribution blocks (1 earth 1 power) 2 x 8ga power leads from dissy block to amps 2 x 8ga earth leads from dissy block to amps finally the subbro! its a 45 series MTX sledgehammer in an MTX genuine sledgehammer box. 450wmax 250wrms powered by a 250wrms monoblock MTX amp (dont have box or anything to know what it is!) currently there is no 4ch or aftermarket front / rear speakers. future plans - kicker 4ch - ZX350.4 mb quart splits discus front - DSF216 expert coaxials rear - EKA116 i have all of the above aswell as dynamet which will look after the ront and rear doors. i may also need to make some mdf mounts. i really CBF but i will realistically have to to get good sound. future future plans - step 1 - 1x jaycar 1000w monoblock + 1 x dd1012 (entry level) digital designs 12" 1800wmax 450wrms step 2 - 1 x jaycar amp 2 x dd 12" step 3 - 2 x jaycar amp 2 x dd 12" subs will be in their own sealed enclosures and wired up fior stereo sound. operating at about 6-800 power through the jaycars should be heaps. comments and questions welcome - Mitcham Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate any pics of the car?

that dd sub sounds a bit weird dont u rekon man?? 1800w maxx 450wrms?? lol

for those interested in a little more detail in soundsystems check my thread on Mobile Electronics Australia (http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=547376) MOAR PHOTOS! (as requested) spare wiring..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

this is kinda similar what me and the mate doing atm in his VZ lumina... we put the headunit and wired it all up using the same din holder thing as yours and this weekend running the amp wiring and then putting in the amps and kicker but have to make a face plate for it though

good old carwash corner lower dandy and boundary rd ay lol.... car looks good man just needs a SS kit and to be lower

psara - 5 whats your name man? i am honestly not 100% sure i was quoted the numbers by a mate who currently owns a dd sub running the same d class jaycar amp as i plan on using and he is buying 2 x entry level 10"s. so they are (apparently) dd10's then the size. eg. i want 2 dd10 12s and he wants 2 dd10 10s. power seems a bit odd but eh, wmax isn't that important. its no weirder than sony subs which are 250rms and 1000wmax. nah its actually a carwash in knox... and its just a daily so i will be leaving it pretty much as is mechanically and visually. when the car is sold i think i will also leave in the soundsystem, apart from the sub and amps that is (this is a company car as i am employed by my parents, yes i am a spoiled brat but i pay rego and insurance aswell as rent and bills.) patch if you want a hand shoot me a pm, been there done that and i can save you a lot of broken plastics!

true buddy.. sonys sh!t anyway lol they call me andrew lol i just found i weird frm dd to make a woofer with only 450 wrms lol @ autosalon dd phil off mea had some 1500wrms dd sub lol

andrew, my mate has the best sub i have ever heard hence why i want to go DD. as i think i said on the mea forums, i dont want more spl (although i will have it at the twist of a knob) i just want more response and a wider range. i realise jaycar isn't the best amp but hey like i said i am a uni student and i am bloody lucky to be given such a nice car.

love the number plate sly 019

actually 091... if only the 091 had any significance!

In the right box, some bloke has achieved 140+db with a DD1012 using a 300wrms amp. For an entry level sub, that's insane. Only thing is, you'll be sacrificing a bit of sound quality if you starting running DD gear. They're really built more for sound pressure levels than sound quality.

well at the end of the day if u enter a db drag... they dont really giv a sh!t about quality.. thats y they give you bass hz to play... so get a DD lol

in a sealed enclosure and at low power the entry level dds should produce more kick and a wider frequency range than my mtx can play. also i say i am after quality but by that i mean pretty low level sq. it still has to be stealth and installed in stock positions and with no rear shelf and the rear speakers in the doors of the vy wagon there is no way the positioning of speakers is going to impress any sq buff! oh and i asked around the code is actually dd15 ** ** - diameter of sub in this case 12"

I love wagons :P Pity you're trying to keep it looking stock. You could go all out and make a monster out of this thing. haha. It's looking really clean though mate. Nice work.

eh, its just a daily to me. its a beautiful car but it has no character... its new! also i have been busy most days arranging to sell my vlc and my vlt s/w isn't working atm so the soundsystem hasn't progressed any further.

yeah just picked up my first new sub - 2512 DD audio 12" 750wrms 1600 w max operate at about 1200 from what i have heard its 2 months old and not even run in. came with the packaging and !STICKERZ! and i bought it for the price of a 1512 (300wrms less) so i am stoked! just gotta get new wiring and an amp to power it now. link - http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/...en try1048833 (http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=547631&st=45&gopid=1048833&#entry1048833) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

SI..... with the VY the heater system has the LCD display in the stereo part... once you remove the stereo, the heater still works yeh??? my mate has got a HUGE system for his VY out of a VN SPL car years and years ago, and i wanna know if its possible to install? thanks

nah not in my vy. but i had an acclaim, maybe in the berlina / calais / other this is the case.

I got a 3512 and it hauls ass. Not the best for quality in a slot ported box, but give it a bit and it'll blow your socks off. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
