Weshole's Higlander build
Well, I finally got around to getting my system installed in my (new to me) 02 Highlander. This is my only ride now as I sold my IS300 and gave my Blazer to my youngest kid. So, here she is just about to go under the blade.

Re: Weshole's Higlander build
These are the woofers I am using in the front with the Zapco tweeters and x-overs. Silver flutes. Have had them for years and finally get a chance to use them. They sound great!! I have only one Zapco/ESB mid as the other one was fried and by then, Zapco stopped importing them. I do have a buddy in Rome that lives close to ESB's location. I haven't pursued trying to get a replacement as I think it may be cost prohibitive to do so.

Hey, let me know if you do! Would love to get a matching red cone subwoofer for the Zapco/ESB set I have!!!
Always read great things about those Silver Flute - very stout looking woofers for sure.
Are you not entertained?!?!

Gonna switch things up a bit. Zapco amp is just not cutting it on the low end. It's nice and all. But, Im hankerin for just a bit more. Not enough room for a Z2k like I had before. So, I got this instead.

Re: Weshole's Higlander build
Well, a lot has changed since my last update on this thing. First off, I got rid of the M2C that replaced my first Zapco amp. Turns out I did find room for A Z2KD amp. Although, I didnt document the placement. It is close to where the other amp was. Its too fukn cold out to move the box and take pics. So, you will have to use your imagination. LOL. Also, the OZ Audio 4ch amp I was running took a shit on me. After seeing the solder side of the board, Its a wonder it worked as long as it did. (No pics of that either). So, there is a Massive Audio NX4 running the same speakers as before temporarily. I sold the two 8's and replaced them with (2) Toro X 12's in a big ass box and ran them that way for about a year and just couldnt leave shit alone. I wanted to downsize box again but didnt want to lose what the 12's put out. So, I built this.
The box was designed using a buddies computer and cut using his CNC router. My first time assembling a box I didn't cut the panels for myself. I did attach and router the front baffle and rabbeted the sub openings for a flush mount. It was nice to not have to do much touch up with the sander after assembly. I just had to fill the holes from the nailer and the countersunk screws along with the transition to the front baffle. Coated it and painted it. And... VOILA!!! It is installed. The subs are Dayton Audio Ultimax 8's/ They sound good and smooth and have decent output. Although not as much as the 12's. But, they arent broke in yet. I hope it gains just a little output from where they are now. but overall, Im happy.
Future plans are to get another Zapco Z150.4 and Im replacing the Zapco/Silver flute combo in the front and the Polk Audio coax's in the rear with Massive Audio components and coaxials.
Ill try to take pics as I do more.
