I am getting ready to do a full install in my 95 fzj 80. I want to make a removable drawer system so that I can quick swap different amp racks and also swap them out for camping gear for when we use it for that purpose.
I am a collector of old school car audio so I have a lot of gear... Something like 170 90s era amps, 80 or so subs, dozens of decks, eqs, crossovers etc. Etc.
Starting with the head unit. Up until recently I was going to go with my clarion combo of a 9255 and a 920 dsp. But I want Bluetooth so I am going to use my alpine 7899 with my rux c-701 combined with a secondary alpine 5210 DVD player that will be able to play seperatly from the deck for the rear 2 alpine 10 inch gold down screens. (I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old)
I will be making door pods for my 2 sets of dynaudio 3 ways, I may only do one set up front and a set of 2 ways in the back.. I haven't decided on that for sure yet. It's gonna be up to how long it takes for me to make the first pair of doors. I have fiberglass resin/Matt and bondo for that project.
Subwoofers... I would like to end up with 4 old school eclipse 10 inch 8000 series woofers but I am having a helluva time finding them. For now I will be running a pair of cerwin Vega stroker 18ds. Or maybe 10 orion 2ntense dvc 12s. This big box will be able to be removed for when we use it for camping.
I will also be building a box in the passenger side rear area where the factory sub is located for either my Stereo integrity bm mkv 12, phase evolution Aliante si 12, or one of my sundown sd4 12s. I will be trying each of them in the box when it's finished and going with whichever sounds the best. I already own all of them so it's not a big deal which one works better than the others.
For power I have a 240 amp mean green alternator, dual odyssey extreme group 31 pc2150s up front with an old school orion mbr and 3/0 running to my 48 ah headway lithium bank in the rear.
I have soundskinned only the driver door but will be doing the entire rest of the doors and roof as well as floor. I already have all the soundskins 3 in 1 I need. In fact, there isn't anything left for me to purchase other than finding 3 more of those 10s.
For power in my first drawer system will be all old school mtx first edition thunder series. With 4 of my 5 2300s on subs and 4 4320s and a 4160 on mids/tweets depending on how many channels I will be using.
This will be a 3 way active setup with sub channel.
Next drawer will be phoenix gold with 2 zpa 0.5 on subs, a zpa 0.3 on midbass and 2 zx450s, 2 zx500s a zx 350 again.. Channel dependent.
Next drawer will be orion drawer with dual hcca 2100s on subs, hcca 250 on mids and up to 6 hcca 225s on the rest.
Next drawer will be soundstream with dual 10.0s on subs 1000s on midbass, and 6.0s and 3.0s on the rest.
That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to options I have and I will probably make a total of 6 or 7 different drawer setups. The idea being I want to be able to take them to shows and quick swap different setups out. With the rux I can program different eq/crossover points for each setup.
When I am running my camping setup I will be running an old school memphis big Belle mc1600 5 channel amp running the entire rig encluding the sub in the rear stock area.
I will be testing everything with my smd tools, amm1, cc1, dd1+ and my spl labs wireless spl meter. So if there are any old school fans that want to see numbers, follow along.
I will be posting the build and different test numbers on my Facebook page as well.
If there is anything anyone especially wants to see, let me know. I have so many different setups I can run, Fosgate, crossfire, other mtx series, wayyyyy more soundstream stuff, a ton of ppi, etc. Etc..
