The beginnings of my box

Makin progress

With its face on

Next came the doors

Had to throw these two in

poof like magic

from this

Then came the problems....the Soundstream was bad out of the box, but of course I started at the speakers and worked backwards I pretty sure it was a transistor that tweaked out, as it took out one the scanspeaks with it . So this is whhat it looks like this afternoon.....

The Rockford is poundin the rl-p and with the ported enclosure...

The audison is driving the seas....lord ya just gotta hear it

and the adcom is first generation class a driving a set of rainbow soft domes till the scanspeak gets repaired. I set the gains and let her rip and

Big special thanks to aneonrider (scott) and mrray (kent) for being so helpfull with my port issues

I have a 10 hour drive Monday, so I will be tweakin like crazy I'm sure, but where it is at right now is

Looks good. I bet it pounds nicely.

Whats that soundstream thing in the center, a distro block ?

[johnecon2001 82]

Looks like a Digital distro. Possibly regulated?

It's a power distro, the spider lights up a wicked blue when you fire it up as well as displaying voltage and amperage. After a little driving around last night, I am still torn between the ported and the sealed designs. I am stuck using a rather diminutive 1.5 net tuned to 31 via a pair of 3" ports, but I did experience a huge increase in output espesially below 40hz. I have to deaden everything yet (probably next weekend), seal up the door panels as the Lotus is a little thin and tinny ATM, and determine final mounting angles for the tweets. I HAD to get the stuff in to experience it, but there is a lot of work left to get it right. After adjusting the timing and EQ'ing a bit, I have a solid image dead center and high up in my face. The Rl-P just POUNDS with the RF attached, not that the class d Orion was a slouch by no means, I just have a thing for old school RF. I did just score a US Amps 25HC to drive the tweets with, I love the Adcom, but it is almost too much on the high end at 40 watts+ directly to the tweets. I still may wind up with ribbons, so the 12.5 watts a channel model may just be the cats meow for that application. All in all, it has been a labor of love, and worth the difference that it made.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

SWEET!

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

since your sound stream was bunk, you should try running the RF in its place and the Orion to the RL-p,

looks like it is a sweet install for sure

I just like the idea, of the work/effort, from scratch, put into the project. It's cool when you do this stuff yourself, then go to a random audio shop for kics and pretend to know nothing, and hear what they have to say.
