Lets see those stereos...
 

I was wanting to see pictures/videos of everyone's stereo. I believe I probably have the loudest and most expensive one on the board. Let's see them guys.

Here's a video. YouTubes crap quality takes out most of the flexing you can see normally. :( Metal doesn't flex like plastic.
I'm hitting in the high 140's with this single sub setup. I need to build another box though with lower tuning because this one bottoms on on EXTREME low notes. Sometime this week I'll get a picture under the hood of the second battery (Batcap 2000).

nicee system
heres mine..no speakers yet but i will probally but some in the door and maybe one under the seat

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

Looks kinda similar to my dash ;)

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

Holy crap......you ever get hit in the drivers door and that think comes loose....you're a dead man!

That's a big woofer and who needs a spare change tray....you could probably stick $400 worth of quarters to that magnet!

How often do you have to retighten all the fasteners holding your truck together?

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

Do the speakers in the door get wet or messed up due to the weather?

I was afraid that would happen! And to be honest, I was just going to let whatever happened happen before I changed anything. I've had absolutely no problems in the last three months. That includes at least 10 car washes, and three solid weeks of rain. I know that a company makes some rubber covers that can be screwed in above them, and I was going to buy some but couldn't ever find them again.

And I've only had two screws come out or loosen. One, the rear view mirror, causing it to fall down, and the other, the passenger side mirror. It fell off going down the road lol.

Crutchfield sells them.

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

look at that sub, besides losing my hearing, I'd lose all my fillings to the magnet as well :lol:

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

Here is my setup. 25 w each speaker and it's more than enough for me...my daughter & son would argue with me on that but it's my truck!

that last pic shows where 5X7's go in the cab corners, and i have a box behind the seat that holds a 12", amp under the seat

Less than $100 WITH SPEAKERS at JC Whitney. Sounds as good to me as any and all of the above set-ups. The speakers are mounted in the dash next to each other in a factory mono speaker holder. And no damage to the dash.

Pl4yboy: By "hitting the high 140s" I'm assuming you mean you listen to that set-up while it is cranking out 140 dB of sound. Note that sound begins to damage your hearing when it is above 85 dB. Though the pain may be temporary, the damage isn't. Think about the future. My father-in-law who spent his 70+ years behind a running tractor engine with no hearing protection can't hear a word my daughter - his granddaughter - is saying.

Loud isn't everything... While volume gets you noticed, Quality gets you appreciated.

My old system has been posted several times before and has been the subject of a thread or two...

MB Quart 5.25" and 6.5" components

Pioneer shallow mount 10's and ARC Audio FD4100 amp (under bow tie)

Everything has been ripped out from the truck though and a new complete ARC Audio system is being put in.

(4) ARC 10D2 subs
(3) ARC6000 components
(1) KS300.4 amp
(1) KS1000.1 amp
(1) PEQ preamp EQ

Listening to something at 148 dB's would be ridiculous. My setup has hit that in competitions but is NEVER listened to that loud. I admit, I do crank it from time to time, but thats ludicrous to habitually listen to something that loud.

If you know much about car audio at all, you know that Digital Designs has some of the best SQ in the business. The only reason I'm running coax instead of components is because I don't want to be mounting tweeters in odd places or cutting holes to house them.

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

DD is a dam good company, don't get me wrong and I never said that your system didn't sound good (might have been implied though...)

Going with coaxials instead of components because you don't want to make more cuts seems strange because you have to have cut the doors to mount those speakers anyway...

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

i like the components you got, id like to have a huge sub like that, but ive already had one stereo ripped off and that screams break my window and steal me.

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

im sure theres a pic already on here, just have the receiver and components in, havent driven truck in months to put amps and stuff in

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

The PO cut my doors before I even did the restore. Not much I could do to salvage them with big gaping 6.5" holes. Might as well do what I can with the holes that exist.

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

i welded the cab corners shut and cut a hole, 5X7 is as big as it gets, no room for 6X9s

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

How'd you do the DVD player/LCD screen? Custom fabbed, bought, or part of original console?

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

That's a good idea Matt...how does that sound?

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

its custom but also permanent. cut out the ashytray opening to the gas switch made a frame around stereo out if 1/2 balsa strips then fiberglassed it. relocated switch to where radio used to be.

Re: Lets see those stereos...
 

well my speakers are blown in those locations and i'm running on the door speakers.

but it sounds good when being used.
