Stersom... Opinions
Will do that. Just what caught my eye on the stetsom amp was that it puts out a lot of power at low voltage and it intrigued me that the amp had 2 options 1ohm or 2ohm

Stersom... Opinions
Thank you i must have over looked that... I was just looking in the store area on the products sold here. They are sold here yes, but i was looking for other opinions... On another note i just did a lot of reading and on random topics and it seems there is a lot of negatives even some coming from you, all in all it seems i will not be making the purchase to this amp.

Sub suggestions
Alright... Well i am also open for some other suggestions as im not set on the subs. I am looking into a ground pounder that is loud when i want to demo this truck but still sounds good. The subs are the only thing going to change. What i have to power them is 2 AQ2200D

Sub suggestions
So i am planning to rebuild and i was planning on 4 15's but don't want to give up that much space. I would like to keep it at the c-pillar. So i was thinking 3 15's. So what would i have to worry about wiring up 3 subs? I have 2 AQ2200d to power them so if i strap them i would like to stay near the 2 ohm's. I dont know much about box rise but if i had them wired at 1.5ohm's would that be ok? What other suggestions do you guys have

So i will try to get vids up tomorrow. But first i must say this seems a lot louder than my previous setup. They are more vicious and do really get down. Although my overall satisfaction was down a little as i thought i would achieve a hair trick... No big deal there by any means as i do get some movement of hair and a good shirt trick. I am pretty sure it has a lot to do with the box and may play around with different tracks. Aside from hair tricks i am very happen with the setup.

Alright so i decided it was time for me to get these to start playing... So i did just that got this thing playing, i know i still have a lot of work to get done. So on to the pics. Since i was going to start getting the subs playing i went ahead and opened the other box today and that contained the DC XL. To my surprise i seen a lanyard in there with a sticker. Was pretty excited about that as i was going to be buying a lanyard. Well i started to get all the wiring done for the subs. Using these to wire the subs to the correct ohm i need. I had them just laying around so i decided to use them. Got everything wired up, yes i know they need to get cleaned up. Also the subs in Just a little disappointment. I had the holes cut out good but i still seemed to have some of the material lift up and peel away. Got my second battery installed and my be getting another one Got them charging before i check everything out.

Thank you.... yes i did think about the plasti dip on the side and that will be something i am going to look at. I was also going to get a buddy to paint it matching the body but still undecided.

So just a small update of the work i got done.... Started with an amp rack and it is going attach to the box... Here you see that there is a little air space on the bottom to help let them breath a little... This is a shot of it from the top... A shot of it put into the truck... Here you see around the box it is going to be attached to the box surrounding the amps. I am going to have it covered and cut out a portion of it so you could see the AQ of all the amps.

I have had this in for a while now but never did add this to my build log.... A 17 inch monitor and a power acoustik dvd plaer. As flush as i could get it without cutting the headliner Vids of the dvd player and monitor to come soon it finishes loading...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
In between coats i got the wood filler sanded down on the screw holes on the box, (well my daughter did most the sanding). 3yrs old today and still able to put in work. I still had to touch it up but we got it done. After sanding we had to clean up. She said the leave blower got heavy so i finished... But we had some fun with it...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
So i did get a few things done today in the mourning. I did as much as i could before i have to get things ready for my daughters birthday party. Lets start with the plasti dip work. A little before shot... Even though its my daughters 3rd birthday she still wanted to come and help out. Here we are removing the rims. Got all wheels dipped and put back on... And yes i know which tire goes back where. The final look...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
Thank you... and will do I have my box built completely now just deciding how i want to cover it up. A few update pics here The box all glued, screwed, and filled... A shot of the bracing... went with onebadmonte's advice and got the brace down the center also... re-calculated for the additional bracing and it didn't do much to tuning or volume. Port shot... Clean edge's...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
Alright so i was able to get a little work done with the time i had... So here is the progress on the box.- 2007 Ford Escape build...
So its been a while since i updated this. So i have started on the sub box. After i get that in i should be able to get going on the rest of the stuff. I am looking at some material to wrap my doors, trying to get as close to matching as possible. Once i get that i should be good on the rest of the build. So here we go with the box progress. The wood is all cut. The baffle work here. Even spread of glue and the weight to press it. The quick mock up of how it looks sideways to show the port. More to come tomorrow...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
Here are some vids...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
So i wanted to hear how the speakers sounded so i just set in my doors to get them playing. I did clean up all the wiring some more and set in the carpet a few other things. The vids will be up once finished loading. Here also i got my shift lever area primed up and ready to coat black.- 2007 Ford Escape build...
So I did quite a bit a work today. I didn't get much pictures of the process because my camera battery was dead, used it at my daughters basket ball game. I also did have my phone because it needed to be charged... Plus i got into work mode i didn't ever get the cameras during the process... Anyway here are some pics i did manage to get. Here you see i cleaned up all my speaker wires... Also showing where the are routed... For the most part i just followed factory wires and zip tied... Here is just showing the rca's Got the routing of the wires for the flip down monitor when it comes in... Also did some work on the shift lever area... You see here i have 2 volt meters, the top 2, and some LED touch on/off switches...- 2007 Ford Escape build...
So i was out of work a little early today so i got somethings done in the ride... Sorry for some pics that are blurry, it was cold and dark by the time i got some pics. Running the speaker wires, Getting them zip tied and an taped up Another little project i am working on for the constant and turn on wires to be wired to some switches to turn on everything i need. Screens, Fans, or any other accessories. This is it finished and installed in the truck. A mess of wires... RCA's, Video wire, power ground and acc wires, and other things in there also. My radio, DVD, and EQ.- 2007 Ford Escape build...
Not exactly sure how it will be with the kicks in but it does seem like there is quite some room left. I don't have them installed so i won't know how comfortable it will be on long rides. - 2007 Ford Escape build...
