Some of you might have seen or heard this stereo at SevenStock 9 so here's the official thread on it.


The Mission: to upgrade my Bose stereo to something with better highs and a lot more bass.
Here's what we were installing:
- MP3 cd player from Mazda
- (2) 4080 boxes
- (2) JL 10w6v2's
- Kicker 1200 / 1 amp with remote bass
- Infinity Kappa 6x9's
- (2 pairs) Infinity Kappa 1" tweeters One set up front, and 2nd set for rear deck
- Boss 2 Farad Capacitor
- 50 amp circuit (instead of a traditional fuse)
- Soundgate LOCB.2 Bose Line Output Converter. http://www.logjamelectronics.com/sounlocbosli.html





Step One was to prepare the trunk the week prior with lots of Dynamat






Installation Day





It's all starting to come together....

Good job but not much room left in the trunk.

 

very nice install. where did you get those sub boxes? i really need to get some bass in my 8.

 

I saw it and loved it!!! It sounds awesome too!

Great job guys!

 

Not a bad job indeed, and I guess it sounds ok! haha jk bro, great job and sound =)

 

Yea---Point us to a site Me likey~!

 

it's hott!

makes me want one. haha

 

sweeeeeet install

 

Email or PM the maker of these boxes - his handle is 4080.

 

congrats jorge... looks great.

 

The system looks and sounds awesome Jorge! Very clean ^.^ How many man-hours did it take total? lol someone ought to do a tally Anywas here r a couple pics i found real quick...

^^^ @ Socal SS9 Caravan meet up vvv

Showin off his dynamat I believe before SS9

 

Nicely done Jedi.

I noticed a significant difference in the Bose sound when I did noise dampening on the doors and trunk. (mostly the trunk as it was a rattle trap above the gas tank).

I like the look of the 4080 boxes but, if I installed them I wouldn't be able to fit my golf clubs in the trunk.

 

[Insert Jeremy Clarkson comment] Sorry i had to say something, I <3 Top Gear Back to regularly scheduled thread programing...

 

yea i saw this is person and wow. this makes me want to do my audio like this. great stuff jedi! pure sex i tell ya haha

 

Jedi your system sounds great, the tweeters in the back sound good. And look at all that trunkspace, I shoulda done something like that

 

it rocks jedi's sox! good shyt jorge...im glad you got it done and did it right...good ****! rockin out with your **** out!

 

looks awesome jedi and very clean. do you keep your space tire in there? you should have posted pics of your OEM converter as well as its location. It just looks so awesome seeing all that stereo stuff sitting raw there on the pavement. did you happen to get any shots of your bass **** befor ehte install? when i installed mine it didnt have the silver washer on the outside. i think i will definitly be doing my rear speakers soon after seeing and hearing this (maybe at the la auto show?). great job!

 

as for the gold clubs i have one 4080 box in mine, gives plenty of thump and when you want to put the golf clubs in the back just take the box out and put it behind the seat. removal of the box is very easy.

 

Good point Lesper. I don't golf everyday unfortunately but when I do I need that space.

If he made it for a 12.... such a tough customer.

Jeremy Clarkson did mention something about golf clubs and the boot.

 

mmmmmm damn it you make me wanna get my sound done.

 

i think that might be the way i'm going. already have 8" bazooka it better then stock, but i like the tweeters for more range in the sound. like lesper one speaker needed. i don't have golf clubs but i do have a three ball bowling bag. almost as long.

 

Best install in a 'real' car I've seen. I'm a little jealous, actually. :D

 

Yeah that was some back breaking work but deffinatly worth it. I'm impressed as to how clean it sounds. The tweeters really off set the deep bass notes. It would have been too much bass with the stock tweeters.

 

WOW guys, thanks for all the GREAT comments! I'm glad those of you who got to hear it at SS9 really enjoyed it as much as I do on a daily basis. When I started buying all the equipment, I never imagned just how clean this was going to sound. Definitely worth every penny!

Yeah, dynamatting the entire trunk was one hell of a process! It's not all that difficult, just REALLY time consuming. That job took me about 8 hours with the help of a friend.


Your system looks awesome man, don't start having regrets now.

Nope, just hoping I won't need it.
I'll post a pic of the one I used for this install.
I totally forgot to take a picture of it but the thing was massive! It came in this big goofy looking plastic mold so I opened that up and hacked the circuit board so that it would fit where I need it to.
