    06 Pontiac GTO mild build

    Here's the grommet and 1/0 gauge wire with some electrical tape to fit the grommet. I put a zip tie on either side to keep it from moving. Ran around the strut tower and zip tied. The two white zip ties are where the fuse will go. New die hard AGM courtesy of the previous owner. Unfortunately the old battery must have exploded. Because all the paint under the tray is a mess. Power wire running down the passenger side and into the trunk. Still needs zip tired to the factory loom. The RCA's run down the middle next to the console. They'll get wrapped in ccf and run over the gas tank. Here's a shot after I got the previous deck out. It's all back together, but it's coming apart again. My center vents won't stay open. So I get to take the day apart again. Here's it installed

    I got my power wire ran today. There was a hole behind the glove box, right behind the passenger strut tower. It was to small, so I drilled it out. Here's my hole saw with a bunch of tape and some heat shrink, to make it the size of the original hole. Here's the hole after I took out the plug and taped a garbage bag to catch all the metal shavings. After cutting it.

    Zv4 18 in a 2004 Pontiac Vibe (Full Build)

    I like you "lets see what happens" attitude. Since you added all that weight to the door panels. Are you adding any extra attachments from the door panel to the door itself? Maybe some screws or something? Are the speakers in a sealed enclosure on the door panel? Or do they vent into the doors?

    Looking good. I like the last design. Any idea how the different firing and port directions will effect output?

    The deck, power pack, parking brake bypass, sub rca's, sub remote and aswc-1 are installed. If only I could get the aswc-1 to work. I took out the back seat and all the trim from the b pillar back. Removed the factory "subs" from the rear deck. I cut the rivets holding the speakers behind the b pillar in to make room for subs, and put down some deadener. I'll post pics of the deck after I get this cleaned up. The Focal coaxials are wired and just need screwed down.

    My deck showed up today. Tomorrow I'll get to work on clearing out my garage, so I have room to work on the car. I think I'll start the install with the deck, power pack, ASWC-1, and parking brake bypass. Hopefully in a few days.

    Post Your Home Audio Setups Here!

    The best part is the sound. I have had large tv's for a while, and I don't miss the low or high placed center channel. This AT screen material is awesome, and you don't see the large towers behind the screen. After the sub is done I'll enclose that whole end of the room. Here's what I have planned. Here's the sub box design

    Looking forward to this. Your van box is one of my favorites.

    Might Finally Install A Stereo...

    Looking clean. I almost bought a roadmaster a few years ago, but they are hard to find clean and with the LT1 like yours. All that stereo and still more trunk space than most cars.

    How did you guys find SSA???

    My friend Steve Mead told me to check it out. Been here since.

    My subs, mids, and power pack showed up today. Now I'm just waiting on the deck to arrive.

    Here's my intake installed. I forgot to take a pic with the radiator cover on.

    I installed a Vararam cold air intake, and removed the hood scoop plugs. I'll add pics later.

    If they were still available I probably would've bought them. The SD-2's will make the install easier. I can go with a slightly thinner box. I ordered my ASWC-1 for steering wheel controls, and a parking brake bypass. I think I have everything i need on the way. After I clean up my garage I'll get a sheet of MDF to build the boxes.

    DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs

    If you want it to "look" lower, paint it gray. The black blends in and won't be noticeable. Maybe you can do something about the trim holes in your front bumper as well.
  19. I have ccf, and deadener for that area. Any panels that get pulled will get ccf, the doors will get full treatment.
  20. I'm going to be mounting subs in the quarter panels of my 06 GTO. I'm looking for 10's to go in sealed boxes .7cu ft or less and no deeper then 5.25". This has been done with success by other gto owners. I'm not looking to hear the downsides of the placement. Here's a pic of where they are going. Any suggestions are welcome, I'd like to keep the price under $350 for the pair of subs.

    Thanks.With help from forum member Lithium in my sub thread. I've settled on a pair of Sundown SD-2 D4 10's sealed in .5 cu ft. Edit. Subs ordered.
  22. Thanks for the help. It looks like I'll be ordering a pair of SD-2 10 D4. My previous two setups were ported with a flat response. They were a little too heavy on the bottom end. Lately I've been enjoying the JL 12W6V2 sealed setup in my jeep. So I think I'll be happy with a sealed pair of tens in the GTO. Maybe I won't have fight trunk rattle for once!
  23. I'm wondering if I put the sub in properly. So I used a tutorial from an HT forum and put the info in again. My first problem is Sundown doesn't list SD. Everything else seems fine except VAS, for some reason it calculates it at .06 L. Second problem is I'm not sure which type of crossover to select for the lowpass filter. Butterworth, linkwitz? I'm assuming I'll want to select 4th order. Third, how much of a difference will cabin gain make? I'm looking at .45-.5 cu ft net for each SD-2 10 D4. These will have as much power as they need, with 1500 rms available. Here's the graph with both input methods and thiele listed. And 4th order Butterworth @80hz filter on both.
