Alright guys this is the system setup I have been working on for my wifes RX-8. Let me know what you think. The system includes 3 Pairs of Polk Momo 5 1/4 Co-axials, 1 Pair of Polk Momo 6X9's, 2 Polk Momo 500.1 Amps, 1 Polk Momo 400.4 Amp, and 2 Polk Momo 10" Subs. All the Cables are Pro Tsunami RCA's and 0 Gauge wire. I used a "Dave Navone" Sound Q High Level Converter to make sure that i recieved better than 6 volt preout from the head unit. Sounds great and hoping to get some trophies here soon at the NOPI Nationals!! The door panels and box I built from fiberglass and mdf and then had a friend Named Brad P. paint them for me. Let me know what you guys think!!!

 

Looks clean !


Good luck

 

Sorry guys didnt know how to put more than one pic up!

 

More pics!!!

 

more pics!!!

 

Um, ok, so pardon my ignorance but what do the tanks in the trunk lid have to do with the audio setup? Looks pretty sweet though!

 

More pics!!!

 

how is your wife going to pick up any groceries?

 

Daaaaamn. Those doors are interesting.

 

The Tanks are Nitrous.....Thats okay though!!! Waiting on K&N intkae from vivid before installing purge and rest of the system.

 

I wondered the same thing.

 

Well that's pretty slick. :D Be sure to let us know how it goes!

 

Watch out for Fem-***** :D

 

Ok, so how's she gonna carry around here firearms collection, bowling ball, and N.O.W. brochures? :D

 

You guys will crap when I tell you this!!!! 30 Minutes ago when I am showing my wife the finished product ......The first thing she does is say "Great Now we have two Cars that we can't get groceries in."

 

LOL! :D

 

WHO CARES

I love your set up

 

Yes, I am running everything off of the stock head unit (non-Bose). I used a "Dave Navone" high level converter. Works Great!!!

 

Tell her that's what the back seats are for. ; -D

 

how much does it cost around for door panels like that?

 

why didnt you use a component set and raise the imaging up higher? I think you may have really degraded your SQ and overall sound immersion by adding both coaxials and 6x9.

But I like the setup!!!! Very nicely done!

 

lil beny, as far as door panels go...i built these....but door panels can run anywhere from 225.00 to 400.00 per door depending on what you are interested in having done......i have a set of door panels if you are wanting something similar done let me know.....


As far as degrading me sound for the other person below your post.......Besides the fact that the door panels were built for the "O Factor" as much as they were built for sound......Imaging must not be your thing......these speakers are not co-axial speakers...they are in fact components speakers that come with independent crossovers for the tweeter seperate from the mid bass......if you ever look in a sound q car you are going to see that they have kick panels for imaging ...they do not mount tweeters up on the a pillar to get that TTTTTTTTTTTT sound..... but i do appreciate the comments.....besides the speakers sound great....


thanks

 

This is just my opinion please remember . I have installed and competed with many vehicles. Primarily, pickup trucks. Try to get good SPL and SQ out of that. These are my discoveries with SQ in vehicles.

Kick panels are the best for sound. Hands down. Remember, they are angled across from their respective recipient for perfect sound clarity. I use to laser align kick panels to ensure they were either meeting at the center of the vehicle or directly in a person's ear. Remember, the majority of your sound response is going to come from the opposite side of where you are sitting.

Mounting them up high, say on the pillars, is close with in dash mounting as a second option... in the dash MIGHT have an edge. In the door, is 3rd.

You can see where this is going . Once again, I am not intending to be an ***. Merely, I wish to know why.

 

Great set up! 4 thumbs up here. Are you using the stock HU?
