    Alpine PXA-H701 & RUX-C701 Processor

    Controller Sold
  2. Hey Everyone. I have an H701 and C701 combo for sale. It includes the original boxes, manual, ai-net cable, and little microphone to help with tuning your system (i don't know if this was something additional the previous owner had to buy or not). I bought it used from someone here on the forums a while back. I had big plans of putting a system in my subaru but never got around to it. I got far enough to wire this up in my car and browse through the menus but never hooked any amps up to it. Just need to sell it now so someone can get some use out of it and it won't go to waste. It'll probably cost about $20 to ship so I'm asking $450 shipped and paypal'd.

    bump...still have the whole combo. I may separate them IF the processor/PXA-H701 sells first. So if anyone just wants the processor let me know.

    JonnieBlaze's 2005 Subaru Forester XT

    Hey Everyone, I'll be building a system into my (new to me) 2005 Subaru Forester over the next couple weeks. This will be my first build ever so hopefully it goes well and I don't mess things up too bad. Opinions and Suggestions are welcome. Goals: Take up minimal cargo space Don't make it too noticeable to people looking in the windows Create the system so it can be removed and stock pieces re-installed I've never had good, tight bass in my past vehicles. I want to achieve that 'tight' sound more than anything. Components to install: 4 Sundown Audio E8s 2 Peerless SLS 8" Midbass 2 Peerless 4" Midrange 2 Seas Prestige Textile Dome Tweeters Memphis Belle 16-MCH1300 5-Channel Amp Kicker 650.4 Amp Alpine H701 Processor Older Alpine Headunit (can't remember model number) Supplies: RAAMmat BXT Ensolite from RAAMaudio Wire, Fuses, and Distro Blocks from KnuKonceptz 1/0 gauge wire from weldingsupply.com 11/09/2009 I started taking apart the interior and will post pics and updates to this thread as I start the build.

    Well they sounded great, but not in this setup. I never actually got around to installing them because my amp was dead and I didnt have the extra money to get it fixed or get a new one. I ended up building two ported boxes to Sundown's specs using the RE slotted box calculator. I put two of the 8's in each box, hooked each box up to a 500 watt Alpine amp and they sounded awesome. Put one box in my sister's car and one box in my girlfriend's car. They are louder than two 12" cerwin vegas I use to have on a cheap 2000 watt amp in my chevy blazer. Its obvious now how buying quality subs and amps and building a box to the right specs really makes all the difference.

    So yeah, its been like two years since I've updated this. I got the sub boxes finished and had the 4 subs and 1 amp installed. I went to test out the system and the amp was bad :-( Stupid me bought it on Ebay for my last car, never actually got around to installing it, decided to put it in the Forester (about a year later) and when I finally did the amp was bad. So its been sitting in my house for another 2 years waiting for me to pony up the cash to get it fixed. Sucks. Well anyway, after that I kinda gave up on the project and now I'm about the sell the car. I wanted to update this thread with some more pictures because I plan on putting the two boxes up for sale and will direct people to this thread to see how they look and how I installed them. I lost the pictures where I actually built the boxes, but basically I just added some more layers to the fiberglass pieces I already had, then took nylon rope soaked in resin and places them on the flat parts of the fiberglass to strengthen them. I figured the curves had enough strength. Then I cut my top and front out of MDF and screwed it together. There were a lot of gaps between the fiberglass and MDF. Some places were big enough to cut pieces of wood and fill the holes. Other places I had to use liquid nails. After it was all together and basically sealed, I coated the inside and all the corners/joints with another layer of fiberglass mat and resin to truly seal it. Then I worked down all the rough edges and put carpet on. So this first picture is the molded carpet that was on both sides of the cargo area. I had to cut it where you see, and discard the middle section because that was being replaced by the box. Ok, I didnt actually discard the middle part. I kept it in the shed because when it was time to put the Forester back to stock and put the pieces back together by gluing carpet to the joints. Good as new and can't even tell they were cut in the first place. The back of the drivers side box. The foil and tape was pretty stuck...I didnt worry about getting it off. You can't see it anyway. The drivers side box when it is getting installed. It stayed there on its own pretty good but I used a couple sheet metal screws in each box to really hold them down to the cargo area The passenger side box. The passenger side box when it is getting installed. Both boxes installed They fit perfectly up to the plastic interior pieces around the struts and windows. The passenger side still has a pass-through for the cabin pressure relief flaps and the 12volt adapter plug is there incase I wanted to put a plug back there like it originally had. The drivers side box has a similar pass-through built it but its large enough to mount an Alpine H701 processor The amp floor mounted but not carpeted. Its really not mounted, but its such a perfect fit its almost a pain to put in. These are the pieces that get mounted to the inside of the box and the subs actually mount to these. The allows the subs to be recessed about 3/4 of an inch into the box. They must be removed to get to the sheet metal screws that hold the boxes to the cargo area. Once they are removed the holes are large enough to even fit a large battery operated drill so you can drill your mounting holes Inside of the boxes. You can see the reinforcement nylon rope that was soaked in resin. Comparison of the box carpet with the factory carpet. That factory carpet is one of the three pieces above that were cut and reinstalled. The view of the box from a passenger door looking under the cargo cover (which hides it all) and through the backseat Cargo cover covers everything perfectly Passenger side box. The inside piece of wood will need to be painted black or carpeted to make it blend. After the subs are installed you only see two very small pieces of that so I was just going to paint it. Drivers side Finished product without carpet Finished product with carpet. I haven't glued the carpet down yet so it might have a wrinkle or two.
