Posted March 20, 201015 yr I will be tearing out the old install on the Dakota.........the new instal will consist of ;*no headunit, lol, at the moment.*same front stage*adding a XS D5100 for the electrical*keeping single run of 2/0 gauge *adding two SAZ-1500D's , will be strapped at 2 ohms.* they will be pushing two WMD2 18"s*adding additional sound deadening*not sure at what stage, but will be tinting the windows*will murder out the entire exterior*perhaps lower the stance and add wheels and tires, (toward end of season)*still playing with a couple of enclosure designs.....currently the amps are here...the subs are in the mail, the battery is here,biggest issue currently would be radiator and heater core...there will be a amp purchase for the front stage....and a new alarm installed....that will sorta complete the year as far as goals and well over budget....we will see how it goes, for me, personally,i will do automotive repair first and foremost,as well as the tear out, it's cheap enough to do demo , lolthen the audio, the exterior will be toward the end of things....chop
March 20, 201015 yr Sounds sick, good luck.EDIT: What kind of alarm? Edited March 20, 201015 yr by BanginGMC
March 20, 201015 yr Author Sounds sick, good luck.EDIT: What kind of alarm?have not looked at them in a while....will have to do some research....* glass, doors, shocks, remote start, shaved door poppers ....that would be idea for me, totally clueless on priceany suggestions on the subject will be cool.keeping in mind it is distant on the list just yet and also....i am one poor sob just yet, lolchop
March 20, 201015 yr Can't go wrong with Viper, i have the newest model in my Dodge Ram 1500 and i love.
March 20, 201015 yr Author This is how the Dakota looks currently,there is a 318 in there, sorta a sleeper, lolthis is what the first install looked like, it done pretty well, just made me want more, lolthere is a decent vid of it in my sig, the first one......
March 20, 201015 yr Author i wish, hard pressed to round up any material just yet........here is a couple of shots of the baskets, they are powder coated ....even though i like them alot, this was not a speacial color request per say....they had them at the shop, so i asked to use them instead of black, because they already had them, i had no additional charge for the color treatment, ftw!here they are attacted to the motors..... personally, i love the way six spoke baskets look on larger drivers like this......
March 20, 201015 yr Author the 18"s will have the black carbon fiber dust caps....they would of colored them to match too, but iliked the black...it is the one on the righthere they are going together....
March 20, 201015 yr Looking good! You're going to be loud. Just out of curiosity, why did you end up using the PAP WMDS?
March 20, 201015 yr Looks great Chop. Cant wait to see those bad boys installed and bumpin. I'm tuned in.
March 20, 201015 yr Wow Chop, your subs look fantastic. Tuned in to see the finish through on this one for sure!
March 20, 201015 yr Author Looking good! You're going to be loud. Just out of curiosity, why did you end up using the PAP WMDS?not sure i understand your question.....the wording would suggest i considered something else, other than these , i only have looked at mach5's, but that was a year ago.i bought my first Pierce sub, it was a recone, used, from a guy off of the other two forums that i was on alot....it was a WMD2r15 , it was hella nice imo, i pawned it off during tight times this winter....i thought i would get it back out and do another box, tuned lowerbut found a sweet deal to have these built for me, by Pierce, they have taken very good care of me from the begining.Audio has no true top end, just how much you can spend is the limit , it's seems.from the installs i have done, the equipment i have heard, these hold their own, and cost less doing it.so , why i chose this brand, customer service, price, previous use, and over all impression of qaulity and performance.also they look pretty kick ass too!
March 20, 201015 yr Author few more pics from the sub's build log....i like this pic alotcouple shots of the cone, surround, finished dust cap....
March 20, 201015 yr Author here is the subs finished.....i will try to get a few of the tear out on here....then it will be build time...and some pics when they get here, should be mid week.gotta get some pics of amps and battery up too.chop
March 20, 201015 yr Chop, Those things are beautiful. could be tied with the most bad ass looking woofer ever. (tied with my SA-8s of course)Way to go papa chop!!
March 20, 201015 yr I love the color combination, not bad looking drivers at all and should do some serious pounding.
March 20, 201015 yr Author thanks fellas.....these sundown amps are fricking power horses for sure....I have decent expectations from this set-up....the wmd2's will perform quite well for what i want...the dang ol' box designs just keep changing on me....i wish i would keep it simple, loli think if i can get a lower 30hz. range of music to be prooduced at around the upper 140's, i will be happy....uh, let's say 32hz. @ 148 db. = that would be nice. i know i should have more, but i am still doubting my electrical right now.... another D5100 would be sweet...wish i could use the aeros, i love the look..... but not enough surface area to install them without having the ports partially blocked....playing with a drop in slot port, removable, still really close numbers, but i believe it will be subs and port firing up....not sure of central port or go with driver side....oh, took out radiator today, will hunt a few leads tomorrow after church for another one.
March 21, 201015 yr Hey Chop , How long before the subs get there???? I got mine today and it's a beast and weights in at 60 lbs........
March 21, 201015 yr Author not sure exactly when, thinking the 25th, i will recieve a 120lb. package.....
