The line connector will be the Memphis 6ix (that's at the store, ready to be picked up)

Now I just have to figure out where all of that is going to fit in there (and still look stock, and still have the use of my trunk (you know Costco runs and all)

[freezingbelow]

Nice, I bet that made a nice little dent in your wallet....

[ozzy]

little bit at a time over the winter, made it under the radar of the wife (most of the time)

[joekd]

She didn't notice your now Memphis owned table?!?!

Nice stuff, can't wait to see installed pics

[sowhatsowhat10]

sweet set-up, i just heled a buddy "memphis out" his acura.

i got to ask tho, why to seperate amps for each sub? why not a mono amp big enought to satisfy both subs?

[ozzy]

Well I keep everything behind the sofa, she's at work now so I was able to take it all out to snap the picture.

[ozzy]

i got to ask tho, why two seperate amps for each sub? why not a mono amp big enought to satisfy both subs?

Good question, I would have to say I don't know, I thought it over and just felt that having 1 amp per subwoofer worked, I could have gone with 1 big one but it was not the "look" I was going for.

When the install is complete, and you look into the car from the outside, I want it to look stock, just a plain jane, when the back seats come down, then it is a different story altogether.

The setup is overkill all the way, I like it that way.

[Scooter-Man]

What's your head deck? Are you going to use the 4 channel amp on the front components?

I'll looking for a 4 channel 75+watts that has seperate gains for each channel. I thought my old ADS PQ20 had it,, only has two gains.

Nice eq list!!

He has an RB1

[ozzy]

Yes I have the RB1, it will connect to the Memphis 6ix, then to the sub amps and the 4 channel amp, from the 4 channel to the front component speakers and the rear 6x9's, it will be a mess with all of the wires but should sound very nice when completed.

[Dodgaholic]

Damn, Ozzy...you're not fooling around!

[Gaze]

ozzy's system: "More capacitors than you can shake a stick at!"

[01redMS]

nice! i used to have that 4 channel amp.

Nice set-up with the RB1 and 6ix. You should REALLY think about using that 4 channel amp for just the front stage and another amp (or RB1) for the rear 6x9's. Does that amp have a bandpass xover for the mids?? Active on the front stage is awesome...

Yet if that's not in your plans, atleast run an extra speaker wire on each side for bi amping or another set of tweets in the future.

I see the 6ix has a remote sub control, I love mine, it's mounted right by my leg on the center console.

We want PICS!

Late!

[dolan]

That's gonna be a tight system! (did I really just say "tight"?)

I want to hear it.

[00R/T]

That's very nice, but I don't think I would have went with seperate caps, because they'll all end up being connected together anyway. One larger one probably would have been better. Your car already sounds good. I can't wait to check it out!

[CleanTrep]

Oz? Have you looked into maybe getting a JL Clean Sweep for that RB1?

[ozzy]

I wanted one, kinda did a shotgun bid and won all 3, as long as I got them, I'm gonna use them.

I guess I will have some reading to do tonight at work

Its great for someone that has an after market system such as your self and wanting to keep the OEM Hu. Look into one. I think maybe Infinity or Alpine make a better version of a similar product ever, but the JL has been around the longest and I have heard of more experiences with it.

[dudley]

LOL!!! My wife never cleans back there.......

Nice system Ozzy! With all those caps it might look like a power house transformer.

[Intrep_ED]

Hmmm, caps...

[Veeb0rg]

/me slaps his forhead

1.21 JIGGAWATTS!@ for the flux capacitor

[ozzy]

Well the install is complete

Here is what it looks like, OMFG is it loud

[freezingbelow]

Wow, So wheres mine?

[ozzy]

[freezingbelow]

Oh didnt u say u were getting me one too?

[ozzy]

[dudley]

I would think you would have no problem with prices if the wife asked.......

Lets see..... 12 bucks for the amp, 23 for all the speakers.... :D

[sowhatsowhat10]

that is alot of freakin electronics ozzy. I LOVE IT!!!!

[Dodgaholic]

Damn!
Looks great. Really clean install. I'm sure the sound is just over the top!

[mnitetrain]

5 Amps, OMFG!!!! Stock alternator??(Still??)


Shit mine will be like a pisshole in a snowbank when I finally get it set up!

[ozzy]

The setup consists of the following

2 – Memphis 16-PR1.1000 – Mono Amps
1 – Memphis 6ix, 6 channel line connector

[Scooter-Man]

Nice set-up! Laid out very clean.

time for an SPL comp!

[freezingbelow]

Looking foward to hearing it this weekend.

[00R/T]

Should I bring my ear protection I use for the shooting range for the ride up?

[Gorm]

I'm loving it. All of that stuff had to be pricey. :)

I am also a big fan of Memphis...although their speakers just don't do it for me. I'm hoping that someday they come out with a line that I like...but as of right now nothing.

I can't wait to see / hear this in person. :)

--Gorm

[ozzy]

I should have used hearing protection while testing them, very clear loud sound.

[dudley]

Serious system Ozzy!!! Nice install.

[Intrep_ED]

Time for some Damplifier perhaps?

[ozzy]

Time for some Damplifier perhaps?

I was thinking of this.

All depends on the time off between shifts, right now is the MVC season, we have been very busy at the hospital, and I get called in a lot, don't want to have the Intrepid half torn apart and get called in.

[mnitetrain]

Duh, did you say something??

[ozzy]

Hank, I tweeked it a little, now it's louder. I'll bring some of the "your music" next time, we will have to try it out again,

[CleanTrep]

Car ride with Oz, a dialouge:

Oz: "Isnt this new system great?"

Passanger: "What?"

Oz: "Isnt this system I just put in bad ass?"

Passanger: "I cant hear the words coming out of your mouth!!"

Oz: "What did you just call me?"

That is a very clean install man. I like it. Are you useing any dampaning material and if so what kind?

[ozzy]

Are you useing any dampaning material and if so what kind?

Not yet, might be on the list prior to Carlisle, but I still have a few big items to work on.

[mnitetrain]

Damping material is called passengers!!

[dudley]

Need a couple days off to do the complete sound deadening Oz.

[ozzy]

I plan on that, I want to do it right, just like yours.

[ozzy]

Found out today that just because you have a lot of power doesn’t mean that you should use it.

Yes they are under warranty

Holy Shittt Ozzy!!! :tooth::tooth::dupe::dupe::punk::punk:, Guess you wanted to raise it up just a notch heh?, :(, Wooo! Thats got to leave a nice smell in your car for a while man!, ;( :donatello:

[00R/T]

WTF? Is the amp too powerful?

[Dodgaholic]

Damn! BBQ Voice Coils?

[ozzy]

WTF? Is the amp too powerful?

Is this a trick question?

I did all the math, but then again I was always bad at math.

Damn! BBQ Voice Coils?

u-betcha

Well I'm off to get the new ones, be back in a little bit.

[IS300M]

Memphis bbq.....yummy

[ozzy]

well the new subs are in, hitting hard as hell again, I may go with the M class subs if this happens again.

[Gaze]

A guy who shows a car locally has a small for machine hooked up inside the port of his box to fool people into thinking he's blowing subs.

[ozzy]

ok Pat I know others are thinking the same thing, but why would you want to pretend to blow the subs? I know it's for a show, but let me tell you there is nothing like the smell of a Memphis BBQ.

I'm just glad they were under warranty, I just dropped off the blown ones and got new ones.

[Gaze]

Just that, it's for show and a nice little joke. I was judging him once while he had it cranked and he flipped over to a bass test song and flipped the switch on the fog machine and I thought for sure it was toast.

[ozzy]

Well after doing a Memphis BBQ on a second set of subs, I upgraded to a better pair

Now with the new 2008 Memphis M3's in the Intrepid, it is sounding insane, also look at Cars of Connecticut Magazine www.hotcarsofct.com , my Intrepid will be in there, getting a free photo shoot, with a swimsuit model for free, she just better not mess up the Adam's wax.

[00R/T]

Now those are subs!

I want a swimsuit model with(not on!!) my car!

[SilverSpecial6.1]

Nice subs! I really want to do an audio system to the 300M but the weight they add would hurt my performance!

[Gorm]

Yep...thus the delima you are in. You must choose how to mod your car, either between performance...or luxury.

I choose luxury...and thats why I added 50+ pounds of sound deadening in the car. However...since I'm used to the 2.7 performance...the new 3.5 feels awesome! :)

I have looked into my whole performance/luxury issue, I am at the point that I just want to have fun. I put in the new subs at 21 pounds each. I will never beat a mustang or corvette, I will not win any SPL competitions, I may not win any clean freak awards, but I will have fun

I want to dynamat the car also, never realized the car has so many areas that can rattle until you start to jack the subs a bit.

Exactly, I am on the binge myself. I can't wait to continue when I have some time. I have a great hook up with the eDead guys, that stuff is made here in Newton, Iowa...its awesome stuff. :)

--Gorm

[00R/T]

Eh, some things are worth sacrificing performance for. The minimal impact my audio gear has is no issue for me. I very rarely push my car to its performance limit, but I enjoy great audio every second I'm in the car.

[Dodgaholic]

Those new subs look incredible. Very nice setup indeed!

[ozzy]

Those new subs look incredible. Very nice setup indeed!

Thank you,
They are in the Memphis ported box and they sound great, I tried the sealed box and it was ok, I may try a custom Bandpass box next to see if the sound is any better.

Also after I get the professional pictures done I will have them in my sig page for sure.

[Veeb0rg]

nice replacement subs, what hz is the box tuned to? how big is it?

The subs i just picked up require 2.56cuft each in a ported box, gonna make for a big box.. :(
