FIT SQL build
 
3 Attachment(s)
I made decision last week to sell my amps, sub, and Headunit for a Sundown 3500D, Sundown SA-12, Kenwood Xcelon Deck and some ______??________ subs. I'm also keeping the kinetic 1400s - one at the engine and the other in the trunk. I also have 0/1 welding wire - positive and negative already ran.

I kept the Hybrid Audio L8, L4, L1proSE's for the front end. They are receiving a custom passive crossover powered by an ARC SE 2150.

3 sheets of Baltic Birch and a full sheet of MDF all in 3/4", should make its way in to the FIT.

Looking forward to what Mat Romain and I can accomplish.

wish me luck.

lpchouinard 06-07-2010 10:34 PM

have fun and good luck with the new build!

DeadlySones 06-07-2010 11:31 PM

FINALLY!! You should have called it "What happens when an SQ guy and an SPL guy build together, PART 2!", lol

Looking forward to the build man. :)

Yep, my neighbors have no idea whats coming :D.

I was heartbreaking when I removed the Carrozzeria, but the Kenwood is slick deck too.

Part2?? I only let Mat destroy other peoples cars :)

Louis, she is still going to have the correct SQ characteristics - I'll SEE TO IT. Hopefully with 150db db on tap

lpchouinard 06-08-2010 07:43 AM

I hope so, but 50 on music!?!?

I did 144.1 with the Fi Q 18 in the minivan and I shouldn't have stayed in, even if I had my earplug. But no worry next time ill use plug and muff.

Will you go up to the B-pillar? if you do you will need an engine hoist to get the box in and out...

Mat-Romain 06-08-2010 07:56 AM

itll be a bit louder than 144 on music...im pretty sure....unless julian softs out like usual

I'm not giving the details away just yet. Lets just say it's not gonna be ugly or a unfinished looking box. No I will not need an engine hoist - But I'm sure the CSC boys will help me when needed:smilie_da

lmao, wasn't it you that made a thread before titled, "What happens when an SQ guy and SPL guy get together" or something like that? hahaha. That's what I meant by part 2, lol.

avidedtr 06-08-2010 09:41 AM

I can't be part 2 ^^ If I let Mat finish the box. Tuct tape would be the finishing job :P

Mat-Romain 06-08-2010 09:44 AM

ryls 06-08-2010 04:18 PM

man i gotta get off my ass.... i cant let you do two builds to your fit before i get mine done.

fozzz 06-08-2010 04:52 PM

150 shouldnt be too hard in your car with the right gear. But I wouldnt expect your front end to get that loud.

With the Steg I don't see it to be a problem.:smilie_da

Mat-Romain 06-08-2010 07:43 PM

StillPlayinLow 06-08-2010 07:50 PM

Power is one thing, power handeling is another. Take care of your Hybrid gear. I dont want to see a post with your L4's on fire.

I pushed them lightly hard with the custom crossover you made for about 10 seconds, just to see what they could do. But thermally I know 100% they won't last long.

The Arc Audio SE 2150 at 150x2 is plenty of power. The steg was just for fun. But it's always nice to know I have 400x2 on tap ready to go :D

StillPlayinLow 06-08-2010 08:25 PM

yellow is the loudest color ... hey thats a wicked idea for the fit... dont carpet the box.... put yellow duct tape on it and u'll gain 6 - 7 db almost guarenteed

Spawn-Inc 06-08-2010 08:27 PM

so how will the alternator take all this?

YELLOW -WTF, I didn't sign up for this. Tuck tape only!

The alt will die a good death some day 135K and no issues.
But it wont see 3500rms. That's only for demos with the engine off.

Daily the sundown audio SA-12 will see about 1750. If I even crank it that high.

update...L8's are coming out with a promising set of Dual CDT ES-06 - 4 in total. Thanks for the trade Louis, You'll love them in the doors of the minivan.

Dukk 06-09-2010 02:25 PM

^ I was wondering what you were going to do to get the midbass under 8" in diameter..

Why go passives though - just to say you did?

avidedtr 06-09-2010 02:43 PM

Nope sorry Paul, saving amp space for the big amp. Don't need the active portion. I have my prefered xover points. And eq?? I won finals with 8 bands adjusted down. Simplifying and adding more midbass will help

I should be able to bring them to Don in a few hours.
