System Pics

[Yedi]

You know, It's always interesting to see what other guys have done with their custom setups, as far as pictures go. I'm opening this thread for us G-Body owners to post our pics of our custom installs. As soon as I get my digital camera I'll show my setup for the Dakota and the regal. Post away!!

I could have bought another GN with the money that I put into it .

Mine will be coming soon...I've been spending most of my time getting the TR running good....

Here's the basic gear I have waiting to be installed :


>Alpine 7845 or CTA1505 w/changer (have both...decisions, decisions)

>USD a700 wave guides

>midbass to be determined (probably the matching USD 8s or a/d/s)

>some cheapo 4" speaker for the rear (kids)

>Alpine PRA h400 digital x-over/time alignment

>EQ to be determined. Either an Orion (a/d/s) or Zapco dual 30 band EQ OR a kick butt parametric.

>Alpine MRD752 (5 channel monster)

>Velodyne or a/d/s 12s (have both....decisions AGAIN!)


Been a few years since I did an all out comp style install. I think I'm ready for it (bad burn out from YEARS of competing) I een look forward to it.

I'll keep you all posted.

 

[mcss383]

wow, that will be a killer setup. Tryin to follow in the Speakerworks/Richard Clarks GN footsteps with the USD waveguides? lol

 

[zam70]

Not really. The wave guides make the most sense in these cars. Kicks don't work well physically because of the general design of the kick panel area (they sound fine though). They end up being rather large and look out of place. I'm a real stickler for "factory appearance" (not OEM original. I mean it should look like how the OEM guys WOULD have done it if they did a high end stereo with optimum locations...If you have it, look at CA&E-june 1996...the white Grand Prix "Car Audio Crush" with the Velodynes is/was mine)

The SpeakerWorks GN was nice (I think Clark is a total BUFOON though, I wish he would shut up and GO AWAY...I'm trying to be nice here...) so basically it's a design thing...Not to mention I got a killer KILLER deal on the USD A700 set.

The rest of the stuff is my tried and true standards for a good system.

i wouldn't call him that, but he is a 'little' concieted.

 

[zam70]

Ever spent any time with him?

Nope...I actually haven't competed for about 4 years. I went heavy for a long time, proved my point, (placed finals and mag feature) and got out so I could actually enjoy mobile audio and cars again. Haven't done a show since.

 

[ross87t]

I built the box, and installed everything myself. RF 10", MTX amp, Infinity 6x9's, Polk 5-1/4's, and Pioneer CD Player.

It's simple, yet gets the job done.

Here's what's in my daily driver. It hits quite a bit harder.

I recently upgraded to RF DVC HX2 10's, but I haven't had a chance to take any photos yet.

I think I remember that article. Congrats on the feature Zam . Biggs has been bugging me to get back into competition with full sponsorship from Kicker (Gary's sponsor and employer) but with the IASCA and USAC schedule, it would be impossible to do with my job and business . My hats off to anyone that can do that schedule.
