2 DC Level 15's in an EXPLORER!!

Recommended Posts

well, my subaru kicked the bucket and i went and bought a 2003 Ford Explorer with 61,000 miles on it this past sunday. Which means i get to un-install all the stuff from my subaru and re-install everything back into the explorer. This is what i have done so far...

-headunit

-2 amps

-second batt

-and of course subs and box

and my dumbass forgot to take a lot of pictures., i dont know what it is but once i get to working i just forget completely about pis. i think the only 2 pics i got is when i had the dash out for the head unit and when mounting the fuse under the hood. but this is what i got

man it was a B**** to hook the wires to the batt up under that seat.... hardly any room

the box sounds a lot better in this car cause there a lot more room around the box for the sounds waves to get by

i got it made like 2 months ago and im not very good with build boxes cause i have done enough of them ... i designed it but i had a guy help me build it...(who of course did most of the work)

thank you sir... my old shit looked ratty and i wanted to make this one realllllllly nice..... i got lucky though when i ran the power from the front batt to the second batt under the car, there was a grommet right underneath the seat that the batt is under, then mounted the fuses on the back wall under the seat.(it will be a bitch to change then out the fuses if they ever blow but looks nice and hidden) ill take some pics of that tomorrow.

I think if you put tweets in the a-pillars resale wouldn't really be problem. Although they would have to be done to look natural.

i'll post a pic of the place i wanna put them a little later on this week. Its located on the panels itself and after the placement and mounting, the tweets would would be directed towards the driver and passenger directly without any door modifications.

well today i got my component speakers put in my car, but i didn't do this one myself. reason being i've never put tweets in the a pillars before so i wanted to see how it was done. i took it to a shop by my house and they let me stick around and watch while they did it so i could see how it was done( i didn't want to mess anything up). here are the picks. let me know what you think.

i might get another set and find someone around my area that knows how to do door pods and help me with that cause i really don't know how to do that either. i mean ive played around with a practice one before but i'm going to need some guidance on that one.
