Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
I'm digging that amp rack setup.
Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
Whoa.....sweet floating amps!
Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
and saving that floor space too, I like it
Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
Thanks guys, but it seems I've gotten rid of everything you liked about the previous install.
I still have the W900 and Imprint unit, but they now send their signals to a Helix DSP. (I kept the Imprint because the W900 pre outs were weak and clipped with so much as a fart) From there I have two Soundstream REF 5.1000's, one for left and one for right duty, each (soon to be) pushing a 12TW3 with channel 5, channels 3 and 4 bridged to the L8V2, channel 2 driving a Fountek FR88EX and channel 1 going to the L1PRO (for now, more on that later).
Much like other SUV's, the FJ's rear seats fold down to extend the cargo area. This "floor" offered by the folded seat backs is about 3" higher than the cargo bay. To compensate, Toyota have a plastic wedge to create a transition. My intention is to extend this wedge rearward and bridge the gap with a false floor, making the whole cargo area level with the lowered rear seats. In this false floor is were the amps and processor reside.
So, here we go...

Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
No you replaced what I liked with something I LOVE! Those SS REF's are bad ass mothers.

The metal work is impressive. Really clean looking. Great job!
Re: 30something's FJ Cruiser
Here's where everything sits right now with the front stage.

I'm sure I'll catch a lot of grief for the mid location, but it works and didn't require a lot of work on my behalf! The L1PRO's in the kicks aren't the ideal location either, but that will change soon. I picked up a set of 3/4" Scan Illuminators from Madisound and they'll be going in the pillars.
So, here's what we have so far...
Already had these adapters for the 8's installed, but fixed them up with a coating of bed liner spray and installed rivet nuts in the door for easier mounting.
