03 tahoe sql build

I couldn't agree with you more. I did freeair the eton before and sounded horrible. I was so mad that I decided to rebuilt it LOL. I am gonna have to modify the doors more and the fiberglass template I made. People don't understand when you put a ton a speakers in the door, you need the proper enclosure for it to sound good and free airing is not the proper way( good example pa speakers in the car). Its not big enough for the cubic feet needed but if I get pissed, I will just get some 8inch midbasses for the doors and call it a day. Got pics of your buid btw?

I've got pics... but I'm not gonna jack your thread. I'll think about starting my own.

I also had planned on doing 8s in the doors, but when I put some solid beefy midbasses in real enclosures in the doors, the difference was astounding. As I said, I may go back to my Anarchys, which are ridiculous. I need to spend a lot of time tuning it, but I'm lazy. I'm using a Behringer DCX-2496 for processing, so I can do any and everything I'd ever need with it, plus about a billion things I'll never need. lol

no judging. I really wanna get a dbx system managment processor( crazy I know but worked live sound, I LOVE dbx!!) or just get the rockford 3sixty.3 and call it a day, trying to kinda keep this build at a budget. I just adjusted the fiberglass mold and everything looks like its going to fit. success


Yah I know my car kinda fed but reason why I got it cheap. Can't wait to hear these pillars

Well been very busy and haven't worked on the tahoe much. Here are a couple new pics. I really said this would be a slow build. I have to pause on the ipad install in the dash, motorized amp rack, alt, and batt. For now I am getting all the doors pods, apillar, and headliner redone due to money issues. Here are a couple updated pics. Should work on the car tomorrow due to nice weather in co





decided not to do the plexi on the amps and just did a simple design

rear rca done

doors pods wrapped

Installed


Wiring amps, just have the 50.4 running now temp

Here are some final updates for now
Got all the speakers wired in and working
I didn't get anything wrapped in vinyl since I can't afford it at the moment and don't want to get them painted. I did some rta in the car and eq adjustments to the best I could (really need the 3sixty.3)
Cleaned the wiring

Got the speakers installed



Testing and tuning

And a demo video. Camera quality probably horrible but an idea

Just picked out a random song to demo with

So updates. I decided not to do any motorization on the ipad. Cost was to much and need to save some money. Got all the custom door pods and a pillar painted flat black since the car will get eventually get painted matte white. so going for the brown, white, and black theme. On to pics:
Sub box is built and the tunning is 36hz and roughly 6cubs after all the displacement



Test fit into car


Painted all the pieced flat black

Pieces installed

Now the start of the ipad. I bought a $5 case and used that as a template

Awesome build. How did you mount the amp rack to the floor?

 

[dblover1327]

I used 1 1/2 inch sheetmount screws in which I screwed threw the bottom of that round piping that attaches to the seat
