I just Made Kick Panels with Speakers for my Blazer last week..

work in progress. first coat of bondo and test fit

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

That RE 8 is an excellent sub. Nice guys, too. They are based in Las Vegas


Nice work bagged, I like your style.

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

nothing as nice as some other posts..

but built by a 16 year old (and his buddy)...on a 16 year old budget :metal:

sits where a center console would be, but in a bench seat truck, if you slide the seat forwards, the whole box pulls out sideways, with quick disconnects on the back, amp is under the seat.

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

Wish I had pics of the sub setup I ran back in high school when I was 16.:lol: An old amp I got for free...6 inch sub from some computer speakers...actually sounded pretty good though. Just enough low end for me to enjoy within the truck. Those were the days...:metal:

69 GMC... Seats are out of a late 90's model Cadillac Catera.

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

Talking about little subs that hit hard, back about 10 years ago I had a set of 6" subs that were in specially designed boxes and they would hit as hard as a set of 10's I had. I can't remeber the name of them but they were designed like a bose would do it with the porting of the box. You wouldn't believe the look on peoples faces when they saw what was making that bass.

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

The shallow mount pioneers will indeed fit uner the bench. I too have the bh t seat tank. I am in the process of making a box to go under the seat for my 12' shallows. Will post pics when its all done in a week or two.

Re: Custom stereos, let's see 'em
 

Here is what I have in my Renault Kangoo.
I haven´t got anything planned for my C10 yet but I will get something for it.

My car has to stay a Family car so I had to make everything removable.
I can get it all out in 5 Minutes.

Stereo: JVC + 12x CD Changer
Amp: JBL GTO 1201.1
Deep: Hifonics ZL12BP
High (4x) & Middle (4x): Sinus Live

Little subs that hit hard?

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-832

I will be putting 4 of these under my seats in some custom boxes

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

at least use a good quality "little sub" jl audio makes a 6 and 8 in the w3 line and a 8 in the w1 line. kenwood just released a 8 flat sub.

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

here is one i just finished for a customer.05 rsx, kenwood deck, hertz mlk 6.5 components, 6.5 hertz rear, stentsom amp 2000watts rms, phoenix gold 4.100 amp for the rears, alpine 4 channel digital amp for the front, and a rear big bass sub, can not remember the name. sound quality stereo.

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

i would like to see some pics of some guys that put some subs behind the seats or under the seats of their single cab trucks, thats the challenge anyone can make a nice box for a tahoe or a suburban. Speaker placement pics would also be nice.
PS acexyour set up is really sweet the only thing i wouldn't be able to live with is how far you have your seat up could there be a way to get away from that maybe making the back of the box where the speakers go out of fiberglass?

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

I just finished my interior and stereo install. Dynamatted both sides of the doors and the floor. I made some boxes for under the driver and passenger side, recessed, so the seat springs can't hit them even under excursion. In the second sub pick you can see my prototype box, which sounds a bit better but you can feel the seat "stop" on the grill piece when you sit down. The amp sits under the seat on the raised tranny tunnel piece. It is a tight fit but under there, but it can work/fit. It sure does sound good for only spending around $650, and the butt vibrations are great! :metal:

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

On the new set-up? Yeah, but I would gain MAYBE a 1/2" of room. All I need to do is get a smaller steering wheel and life is good. It was a little wierd at first though.

Next project won't have that problem...

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

I don't have pics of mine yet, but I'm running an Alpine head unit, Alpine 6x9's behind, Pioneer truck 6x9's w/tweeters under, and a Pioneer Premier Mid-Bass Driver behind. The premier was powered by a Sony 600W Xplod amp till I traded it for an Orion Cobalt cs150.2 that doesn't have the plugs. The guy said he's give me the plugs and then said he doesn't have them. Does anybody here have the plugs or wanna trade amps?

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

Here's my new setup. I traded my MIG Welder for these and and a competition Massive 12" in a Bandpass box with a RF 900W monoblock amp. These are just 12" Pioneer's in truck boxes being pushed by a JVC 300W 2ch. amp I also got in the trade.

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

Here is a few more i did.

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

the Black box , is from my old Silverado, how I miss that truck!

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

jesus, r-types that close must shake your guts something fierce lol. I had an integra setup like your first post. that was till thieves thought that they needed it more than me. even had the same amp as you I think. god how I miss that 1000w amp. best amp I ever had

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

Here is a little thing our shop built...and yes thats an Apple Ipad in the dash.

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

In 2007 I posted what I did to my french piece of crap (Renault).

We finally got rid of it and took the system out. I am now storing it in my truck because it won´t fit in the new car. My wife doesn´t want it in her car.

Everything is hidden accept for the woofer.
I still have the original push button in the dash and mounted the JVC under the dash.
The Amp, Changer and Capacitor are under the seat. If the seat was just a little lower I wouldn´t have got it in there.
I also installed a remote for the bass under the dash where the manual Choke knob used to be.
I put the changer under the passenger seat later.

No, you can´t hear the Bass in the Cab but you can feel it! :metal:

Stereo: JVC + 12x CD Changer
Amp: JBL GTO 1201.1 (1339w 787w rms Monoblock)
Deep: Hifonics ZL12BP
High: Polk Audio 3 way

Re: How about some pics of custom stereos
 

Ok I figured I could show my system off a little bit. I dont have everything shown in these pictures but the best part is shown. I have a Kenwood 7' flip out DVD headunit with Ipod hookup. I also have a 15" flip downLCD monitor between the front two seats. As far as speakers go the subs are two Audiobahn 1200 watt 12's being pushed by two 1400 watt Audiobahn two channel amps. I also have two Kenwood 6" speakers in the door and 8 yes 8 tweeters in the cab haha. It never can be too loud. Also, the box comes with a power inverter to play xbox or ps3 when I'm at the shows. Hope everyone likes, this was my first fiberglass project and I love it like a child haha.http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php...8&id=158100848http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php...2&id=158100848http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php...0&id=158100848
