bobditts 2014 Bluebaru audio build

[bobditts]

Started this thread else where some I'm just going to post the basics and a bunch of pictures. Let me know if you have any questions...

Audio Mods
- JBL MS-8 (utilize stock radio - already "modded" to defeat the loudness and EQ in the hidden menus)
- JBL MS-A1004
- JBL MS-A5001
- JBL GTO1514
- OZ Audio Matrix Elite 1" Silk Dome tweeters
- Focal 165 KF 6.5" mid bass

Subwoofer will be installed in the spare tire well along with the amps and processor under a false floor. It will appear as stock as possible - stealth look.


here is the car

update with pictures. did some Raammat work. Set the sub in place and took some pics of possible amp/dsp layout.





ground location



This is most likely the amp/dsp layout I will be going with. Should match well with the play on the AF logo

Laid down some home depot sound barrier over the raammat.




Also finished up this project for the wife. Its a wine cork holder. Obviously she has a bit more drinking to do to fill this up with corks.

Just got the basic shape completed and glassed the bottom. Still have to cut out the corners to fit the amps, some bracing, and the top baffle.

You get the idea

[bobditts]

drew up a layout with measurements in AutoCAD. This will come in handy when making the AF logo-ish false floor.

here is the newest and most likely final template. I like it a lot better than the original plan.

Too much working not enough posting I guess. Ive been balls deep in to this install since early yesterday. Had thedavel stop by for a while today and build me some sweet grilles for the 3/tweet location. Thanks bud! Enjoy the pics...

Stock door



window rolled down. The window is shaped to fit around the speaker magnet. Oodles of mounting depth.



Making HDPE baffles



The baffle fits

Applying home depot sound barrier to the door skin. what you cant see is all the raammat bxt. There is lots.



still working on the sound barrier



4ga power wire in stock channel down drivers side






3" and tweet mounted in stock location but modified



sweet new grill - but not finished. Still needs some filler/sanding/primer/texture

[bobditts]

Guess I owe everyone some additional pictures. Haven't done any of the pretty stuff yet except for some wire dressing. But no one cares about those details.


wire harnesses are for pu$$ies who dont know how to solder




amp rack







what a mess







you get the idea
