Been a while but I am finally back at it... the DIY'er in me got the best of me once again.

This is the current system:

Stock Head Unit

Front Stage: JL C5s

Front Stage Amplifier: Sundown 100.2

Rear Stage: Stock.

Has been about a year and sounds awesome to me, but we can always get better (plus I miss subs). It will be a while before it is all finished but this is what I am planning for the new set up.

HU: Alpine W505

Processing: Alpine H701

Active Front Stage: Cd1 Pro Minis for the tweeters and X69s for the midbass

Rear Stage: JL C5s

Substage: (2) FI Q 15s sealed

Amps: (2) 1.000 Alpine PDXs, 4.150 Alpine PDX, 4.100 Alpine PDX.

Pics coming up...

Box design was pretty easy since I am going sealed. My old box was at max width and height, so it worked perfect for using a test a box with the trim piece.

My best friend when it comes to box building. Folds up and hides away when I don't need it.

Unfortunately some of the pieces of wood were too big to fit into my car and I had home depot make the long cuts. Now I understand if they are off by a 1/8th inch but is it too much to ask for just a straight cut? It won't be seen anyways so no big deal.

Recessed finished into the trim piece (working also as a double baffle). I actually broke the first trim piece, the bottom and top are extremely thin.

First time using horns?

x2, why do you feel you will need the JL Audio speakers in the rear (just curious as I will be running horns and image dynamic speakers upfront)?

Because I will have them... I do at times have people in the back seat. I may just sell them and put some co-axials back there. That is a bit down the road though.

Thanks guys =)

The sundown is for sale if anyone wants it!

WRX: I considered, but it was the first time I had rims so I wanted to have chrome. Once I get all the other stuff taken car of I may black them out with a stripe around the lip, seen a few done like it.

Yea a red lip would look sick with other red accents. Enough about that. Back to the build.

Haven't had an update in a while, money is a horrible constraint lol. Picked these up at a hell of a price so this is my next update. Not really audio, but part of the car =). BTW this is my first time ever doing upholstery work, I am pretty damn proud of my self how they came out. A few loose spots/wrinkles but they will come out quick in the Florida heat.

Me too lol... The INA-W900 I guess is on backorder so I think I am going to have to save a little more and go with the z110bt. I need to pick up RCAs, techflex, heatshrink and some sound deadner as well. That will prob be the next update.
