Well folks I'm starting to get there as far as equipment goes (If anyone cares)
  • Head unit is remaining stock - adding the Lockpick v.4 to add in-motion DVD and GPS input, camera inputs etc.
  • JBL MS8 as the signal processor and LOC
  • Audible Physics XR Duo combo for the front stage (6.5" mid and 3" widerange driver combo)
I was seriously looking at 3-way passive setups because I wanted more midrange in the dash than a tweeter could offer, apparently these super wide range drivers do not require the use of a tweeter. Looking forward to trying them out, thats for sure.
  • Massive audio HD1600.4 (200WX4 RMS advertised)
  • Bulk pack (32ft) Dynamat extreme for the back wall
  • Looking at a single Image Dynamics IDQ12 V3 in a custom enclosure under the rear seat....driven by this amp in this package from sonic: (Re Audio...)
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_39505_Image-Dynamics-IDQ12-V.3-D4-Subwoofers-FREE-RE-Audio-XTX3000.1-Amplifier.html
  • 2 gauge wire feeding distribution blocks, fuse panels and battery terminals from knukoncepts
  • RCA cables from Knukoncepts as well

    Anything I'm missing yet...?

Aside from implied stuff, like 6x9 to 6.5" adapters for the doors.

Ya I'm gonna carve those out myself out of 3/8 mdf with the router

How far is 36ft of dynamat gonna get me? I plan to deaden the hell out of the front doors, I'm planning on not touching the rear doors for now. I want to do the back wall for sure.

I've installed a Massive 800.4 and the customer and I were happy with output. We ran Massive CK6s and CK5s in a little BMW with a thin self powered sub. I'm sure you'll be happy with twice that power.

I was reading on Sound Deadener Showdown that only 25% of most surfaces need to be treated to get a great deal of deadening. Obviously the more u do, the better, and treat speaker mounting panels and the panels behind less conservatively. But you can stretch it and make a better overal impact IMO. You can always add more down the road as well.

Thanks. Good to hear regarding the amp as well as the deadener. I don't mind spending some cash on the less sexy stuff like deadener and wires, but I can't see myself spending $600-$1000 to quiet down an already quiet cabin.

I've read a lot about the Massive nano series amps, do you know anything about the D series? Looking at this one from sonic:'

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33275_Massive-Audio-D-3600.html

650 X 1 RMS @ 4 Ohm
950 X 1 RMS @ 2 Ohm

We used 4 D8000s on 2 Massive Rhinos. It worked well. They are a pretty efficient amp as well as being CEA rated. So you're guaranteed at least the power they're advertising. I can't remember what they made on the birth sheets. I'll check tomorrow. Good looking amps too. There's only a handful of Massive's products I've used and didn't like.

P.S. I'm sure u know the D3600 will do 1800rms@1ohm.
