Thumper Install

[williambrea]

I have a Alpine iDA-x100 deck, a JBL80.4 amp, and a Sundown SAZ-1500d amp (sub stage).

I am running Morel Tempo separates up front and cheapo powerbass coax's in the rear.

Subwoofer is an 18 inch Ascendant Audio Havoc in a 5 cubic foot sealed box

1/0 power wire was ran underneath the car to a optima yellow top in the rear, I have a red top starting battery up front.

All was installed by me and if anybody has any questions about installations or anything involving audio I am happy to help.

I have fully sound-deadened the roof, tailgate, front doors, and rear side panels w/ damplifier. (Secondskinaudio.com)

Fiberglassed box to make it stronger

Here is an older pic when I was just temporarily hooking the woofer up....
I will have more pics tonight of the finished system.


And a vid of the woofer in action (old vid)

True, I dont like people to hear my system, its a steal me sign and I dont want my neighbors to hate me lol

But there are no rear rattles except that my rear deck keeps opening up, but thats b/c the linkage is messed up.

But im not a person who goes around bumping @ stoplights and being stupid.
Just want to put that out there lol

I can appreciate a good sound system..... I enjoy mine frequently, I'm just curious, what music will you be playing through it, feel free to name artists

I mean good sound and all, but you lost all that cargo space. nice job with the sound proofing though.

RHCP, RATM, No Doubt, Tech N9ne, Bob Marley, all sorts of music...

I really just like bass, if it is through a guitar, drum, or synthesized I love it all

Well, yea the cargo space is a bummer....
I can still fit things in front of the subwoofer but I am getting a grill made...
There is a solid foot of space in front of the woofer to put things but im not putting much cargo back there... Any big stuff I put on a trailer and the box isnt hard to remove, just takes 2 people..

Cool! I ran dual 10" in the rear of my classic, which is removed and replaced by a Storm Case of the same size with parts and tools when I go off road. I then plug in the single 8" sub that is hidden along the right side wall behind the carpet wall.
