putting together a system for my bro, and were ordering about half of it thursday.. err today lol m5, you might remember this build, seems you got a chance to hear it. sentra we'll probably pick up the hu, speakers, amp and wiring 200+150+100+100= $550 hu - alpine 9855 or 9853 + ipod adapter fullrangers: a piller - fountek fr88ex midbass: cannot fit peerless sls 6.5 in the doors. dayton rs180 7" could fit. however the kicks are rather spacious. there is about 2.5 to 3 inches of space behind the kickpanel so a .75" mdf ring or 2 would be plenty to fit the peerless sls 6.5. id rather not try to fit the 8" because it would have to come back towards the driver seat where as the 6.5 would fit on top the stock kick panel. here are some pics from a past build by another user. i do not have the balls to do 8's in the doors haha. front stage amps: would 2 us acoustics usx 2080 work well? 80x2 @4ohm - 12.9v (currently 50 shipped each from audioclinic) could run 3 (1 bridged to each midbass)? another note on the amps, the alpine hu's can only highpass down to 1000 hz so i would have to hp with the amps. the us acoustics can take care of that. power wire: sub amp can put out about 1000-1200 rms. 20 ft of 1 awg, have another 10-15 ft of 0 gauge or 2 awg for big three. found another supplier of wire, this 1 awg is pretty cheap, what do you think? wire and supply 1 awg 8-10 ft of 6 awg for front stage amps. to keep shipping down i figure i will just use the 6 awg welding wire they sell. @ $.90 a foot it looks like a good deal. speaker wire: 50ft roll of 14awg from monoprice rca: will these be good? suggestions? 15ft premium rca's from monoprice accessories: stinger voltage meter distro blocks dash kit harness other shit suggestions? deadening: haven't contacted sds yet, but im thinking that getting rattles under control for now will be best and maybe mlv barrier later on... -ccf behind door panels -butyl rope in the doors, etc -a few tiles in the front doors, maybe 2 on the exterior skin of the both rear doors. hit the rear deck, trunk, and trunk lid good. -spray foam the trunk lid trunk layout my bro wants the sub box to not take up the whole trunk, so i plan to do a false floor to keep the spare tire. amps will be on hinges to allow access to the spare. not real sure how exactly this will look just yet since the subwoofer amp is a fucking surf board. haha too keep some trunk space, there's enough room for a 12" ported box and thats about it. sub(s) not sure here, possibly some used gear. fi bl or ssd if they come out soon. icon 10 :cough: :cough: a pair of refurb sa-8 wouldn't take up much space.
