Original plan was to hang the amps on sub box and mount Power distribution & Inverter under the seat:
https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397152489 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397152489 This plan was abandoned once the decision was made to physically downsize the amps. Replacement amps: http://imageshack.com/a/img823/268/21fe.jpg Speakers were replaced with a couple set's of JL's going here: http://imageshack.com/a/img404/1992/kfc6.jpg Mounted on these: http://imageshack.com/a/img836/6071/guaa.jpg Tweeters later got switched out with a pair of Alpine's...the JL's could rip your eardrums out from 50'.... Reworked the under seat area to hold amps and processor plus fab'd up a mount for the rear wall to hold power distribution & Inverter: https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397152489 Now that everything has a home, time to start the finishing.... |

Before Priming I decided I had to do something with the side of the box that was originally slated to have amps on it....so...
http://imageshack.com/a/img831/2165/subwindowext.jpg Played around with some LED's https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397153479 |

Misc Installations

Did this earlier in the project but here's the install of the 8" widescreen touchscreen:
https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 Pointed the OBD port forward so the adapter feeding the computer could stay plugged in and not in the way of legs. https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 Added LED's under doors as courtesy lights: https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 Installed both Mics: http://imageshack.com/a/img546/8352/w5ss.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img571/9012/47op.jpg Added Backup Camaera: https://www.caraudioforumz.com/attac...ine=1397157509 Fabricated some mounts for Sirius Radio, BT module, Sound Card, PC Power Supply & USB Hubs: http://imageshack.com/a/img51/595/8t9q.jpg |
Last of the sub-assembly before installing console
The Power board, fuse block as well as DVD unit was mounted under the storage bucket:
http://imageshack.com/a/img703/2166/79fv.jpg The laptop and balance of the peripherals were mounted in the main body of the console: http://imageshack.com/a/img829/8430/0j5f.jpg The CB was skinned and slid right in after everything else was in place: http://imageshack.com/a/img441/1918/jq9v.jpg Rear wall was wired up: http://imageshack.com/a/img163/2190/zydn.jpg |
Time to put it together
Console married up with dash, Kicker sub constroll mounted under the steering column and last wiring between dash & console completed:
http://imageshack.com/a/img855/8131/6x83.jpg Amps mounted and wired on the bench: http://imageshack.com/a/img196/5687/75xb.jpg Then installed - panel flips up like an engine hood for service: http://imageshack.com/a/img823/4411/r2nc.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img51/7234/41ys.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img546/8048/g3pc.jpg I like the mechanical mounting aspect of the door speakers and concept of the colour matched trim rings but the fit of the trim rings is not good, I will be doing some thing with the door panels this summer. I still have the door pockets to re-install as well. http://imageshack.com/a/img12/5695/s56i.jpg |
Next step is having the H701 tuned (beyond by capability)
Replacing the 8" wide screen with a 10.4" high transflective capacitive touch monitor (this will require a custom dash bezel and likely relocating the HVAC controls). Having some interior work done to door panels and seats. Still working on the software side of the PC (that will likely never end...) |
