SQ Audio Upgrades Part Deux

[BiglilRudy]

Factory drop in. I did have a new battery top fabricated that goes with my install theme. Rewired but it’s not needed to go to the level I did just to upgrade batteries.

How did you get the battery secured in your setup? I Want to add the D3400 in my Tahoe also just want to make sure everything will go in together before I drop the $.

Both of my batteries are under my back seat. I'm running my sound system off one and everything else from the other one.

Nice! The alt is a must. I'm surprised you didn't add a second battery.

There’s zero need for a 2nd battery. I’ve had no issues since install with power.

Beautiful install, I would love to hear it someday! I am working on ideas for my front stage as well at the moment.

And then there’s this I’ve run a Sony RSX-GS9 hi res music media player for 4 years. Amazing Sound Quality but using my iPhone for screen display and maps finally beat out pure SQ.

I swapped it out for a Kenwood 1057XR with the 10.1” floating touchscreen. Best touchscreen out imo. There’s zero glare from any direction, 1280 x 700 pixels full 13 band eq for anyone not running a Dsp and will play my hi res audio files. Very happy with it so far.

Very, very nice. The floating display is a game changer for the interior. While I have only so far added an Alpine Halo 9, I very much dig what you have done and just debating what to upgrade next. Currently thinking StealthBox first...

Check out the custom build options from MTI acoustics- basic to as crazy custom as you can imagine! I saw the JL stealth box was around 999.00 roughly- you’ve got options in same ballpark.

MTIaccoustics.com is the site but they’re on fb and IG as well. Always straight forward with me on any quotes for stuff I got.

They have bunch of photos of their work and some subwoofer enclosures Tahoe’s Yukon’s and trucks over. They ship all over the us I know. Some guys shipped a pillars to them for speaker fabrication I saw on there too! (I get zero from this shop btw just love everything they have built for me) plus pics of some crazy cool work on trucks and SUV’s.

Check out the custom build options for around the same price as a stealth box thru MTIaccoustics.com

these guys have build several subwoofer enclosures for my Yukon Denali over the years. They ship all over the us I know. Some guys shipped a pillars to them for speaker fabrication I saw on there too! (I get zero from this shop btw just love everything they have built for me) plus pics of some crazy cool work on trucks and SUV’s.

I agree, they do great work!

Will do and thanks for the link. Indeed the price relative to driver quality makes me reticent to pull the trigger. That said, it is still pretty decent and JL is quite good at enclosures. At least back when I had a 12W7 ProWedge, I was quite pleased all around as I dig sealed boxes.

However, seeing as you fellas seriously ain’t messing around, the idea of a much higher quality driver with a custom enclosure seems the way.

I’ve seen their work on standard enclosures all the way up to custom stitched plexiglass led side options. I’m in DFW but make the 3 hour drive to them based on the quality of work and how easy it was for me to get it all done via fb messenger and text.
