Jay's 2015 Mazda 6i Touring build thread

[JayinMI]

I got tracking info. C3CX's, C8's, 8to12 Aerospace all should be arriving at the office tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have it friday.
Ordered my subs tonight, so those have like a week lead time, plus shipping. I stayed with the IB12AU's.
Kinda giving Paypal Credit a workout right now, but I want to get things sooner so I can get to work.

I'm looking at about $600 in Sonic Barrier MX-4 from PE (after seeing Sonic Barrier used in Bruce's truck I looked into it),
About $300 in wiring and accessories at KnuKonceptz, and a couple hundered in wiring accessories from Wirecare.com

Still waiting for eAsy to offer their wiring ID stickers.

Hoping to get everything in in time for the Vinny.

I'm curious to see how you like the Aerospace 8to12

[JayinMI]

Me too. I'm looking forward to it. I mainly got it on the strength that it has the ability to do rear fill, and takes digital optical in at 24/192k natively, so I might pick up a Fiio player to add to the mix.

So, you're looking to come down to The Vinny next month? Awesome!

[JayinMI]

I'm hoping. I was hoping to have everything in and maybe even a tune on it by then, but it's only about 5 weeks away and I need some more stuff I won't be able to order until next week. I'll probably put in my time off request either way.

Also, I ordered 2 C8-W's, and got the C8 component set (ordered direct from Orca) so I think that's why it cost more than I expected.

Should have it tomorrow.

Well, no, I only got 2 C8's in a box from the C8 component sets. They mailed me an invoice, and it looks like the
8to12 Aero has gone up in price since last quarter.

But the stuff came:



So, my amps are here. My Orca stuff is here, my RCA-making supplies might be here tomorrow.

Getting there!

If you're gonna compete, you'd better have an Orca t-shirt

[JayinMI]

I have a Focal shirt and a Mosconi shirt, but I could use new ones. lol In lieu of that, I can wear my CAJ shirt. lol

All my stuff for my RCA's showed up today, so I made a demo piece.

The cabling I used is Gepco 6600, which has 2 separately shielded twisted pairs, with a single drain wire.
It's covered in Black/Neon Blue Techflex Tightweave. The cable pants came from Parts Express.
Ends are Rean NYS352BG's.
