great build!

Most ppl run LR xovers for whatever reason. No hard and fast rules in car audio.

Thanks for the input. After playing with it some more I like the Butterworth for the Front Stage and LR for Sub Stage.

DSP Tuning Session

Picture 1 - Tweeter Settings
Picture 2 - Midbass Settings
Picture 3 - Subwoofer Settings

This process is dope as hell and it's very interesting to see how speakers react to different crossover points(Hz) as well as crossover slopes(db). Sitting in my car for hours already tuning just to find a spot to turn it up and not disturb others as well.

 

Butterworth for mids and tweets, Linkwitz Riley for sub.

Im definitely glad it is easy to maneuver but still has tons of options and features I haven't even began to tinker with. Im learning and having fun so that's a plus.

Trunk light replaced with Festoon LED bulb from Diode Dynamics. Old bulb on the left in the second picture, new LED bulb on the right. I wanted a Blue LED but they were out of stock.

Crazy how Hyundai made all of the lights LED but three of them, these vanity lights were the last ones needing to be swapped out.

Just picked up my secondary (trunk) battery box from being covered in bed liner. Now I just need to find some room for back there for this and another amplifier.

Front battery came stock with an AGM but it was approaching 6 years old and getting low. Finally got around to upgrading it.

I was wondering why I couldnt get my SSA Evil 6.5"s to sound good no matter how much I tuned them with my Dayton DSP. Turns out they were damaged from me stressing them with the factory amp, considering it was crossovered low and I couldn't change. Swapped them out for Silverfutes and love the output and midbass from these guys, just needed something to hold me over till I got my sub up and running. As well as do some tuning and learning, I wont be mad if the Flutes get damaged in the process over more expensive speakers. 

 

When my sub amp gets here these little puppies will hold me over till I fiberglass my doors with some 8s in the future. Alarm, ho alt and other stuff is more important than my doors right now.

Mounting pads for my sub amplifier. Board will be attached to the enclosure, with dampening pads between amp and board, also rubber washers between board and enclosure. In the picture below you see two washers stacked on board, I actually used a single stack and spaced them out evenly.

Need a secondary battery to get the full setup playing but currently having issues with my Dayton DSP. Waiting to hear back from them, in the mean time Im looking into new processors at the moment.

Got a brand new DSP in from Dayton, didnt have any noise issues before but had some with the new unit. Removed all my grounds from my metra radio wiring harness and it stopped all my interference. 

Reinstalled everything and decided I wanted to upgrade my RCAs to avoid any issues in the future and also didnt like the look of the Stinger RCAs by the Dayton going into the SSA amp as you can see below.

I had some old Kicker RCAs that I paid a chunk of change for almost 10 years ago, that came with braided a outer cover. Coudnt find matching Kicker RCAs but found some very similar NVX RCAs that were shorter than the Stinger RCAs going from the Dayton DSP to SSA amp. Removed the wire tie downs that I had holding the Stingers and then put the NVX RCAs in there place. Looks much cleaner. And go figure the NVX 6ft. RCA for my sub duty are sold out everywhere so that's why that random Knukonceptz RCA is in the picture for now. But it still looks better in my opinion than before with the Stinger RCAs.

I didnt like how tough it was to plug in the older Kicker RCAs coming from the Pioneer Radio to the Dayton DSP so I bought some matching NVX one's..

Volt meter installed from Amazon, way better cosmetically and performance wise than the Down4Sound one I had before. I will get some night shots of it later, I know its not centered but it will do.
