Simplistic Design Meets Practicality.. (56K Killer)

[Kevin]

eh.. whatever that title meant. at any rate, 4 weeks after first inception, my sound system has been completed. all of the following is installed in my 2002 Chevrolet Impala:
Eclipse CD8454
OmniFi 20 GB MP3/WMA Hard-drive
MB Quart PSD-216 6.25" Component Seperates
Alpine SPS-690A 6x9 3-Way Rears
Phoenix Gold Ti15d 15" Subwoofer in Ported 2.75 Cu.Ft. box (42hz??)
Rockford Fosgate 551x 4 Channel (70x4) Amp
Rockford Fosgate 501bd Mono-Block (500x1) Sup Amp
60 Sq. Ft. of Dynamat in Trunk and Front Doors
Knukonceptz 4 & 8 Gauge power wire
Knukonceptz Power and Ground Distribution Blocks

needless to say, i still need to fully tweak my stereo to my liking.. and the eclipse head unit is probably the most difficult head unit i've had to operate. irreguardless, the clarity and the quality are unlike any i've ever experienced. following are 8 pictures i've taken today. forgive the clarity, as HP photosmart cameras aren't the best of quality.

additionally, as you notice, all windows have recieved 35% tint. not exactly noticeable to the police or enough to tick them off, and not dark enough to hamper my vision at night.

Nice clean install. I very much like the tint, I don't like dark tint, 35% is what I'd do Nice job

very nice.

looks really clean.

now post picturs of how it sounds.

[THEGOLDPRO]

looks good man got any pics of how they head unit look from alittle further back????

[Kevin]

well.. the camera DOES have a voice recorder, however, it sounds no better than 64Kbps bit streamed audio. i DO, however, have a video of the vibrations the sub causes at full excursion.. literally the rear view mirror drooping down like 2 to 3 inches.. to the point where you'd think a midget was driving the car since last you re-adjusted the mirror. if someone can host a 3.5 meg video.. i'd be glad to post it. you can hear the sub blurpping in the background. as far as head unit pics.. i'll take some later tonight and see if that helps. it's very simplistic in design.. but awesome as far as quality. i just wish i had spent cash on better amps in the past.. but oh well.. tis the best money can buy for right now.

awesome.... I was just messing with ya dood.... For sound quality, you really need to hear it in person to appreciate it best.

lol yeah it works.

[Kevin]

well.. needless to say, i'll upload more pictures of the setup once i figure out what i'm doing with the omnifi.. despite wiring it correctly in my car.. i've treid re-recording cd's, copying old mp3's onto the drive.. no matter how i copy mp3's onto the omnifi.. this unit still sounds like crap. it's not like you'd expect.. signal noise.. static.. it sounds like the mp3 streams are turned up too loud. i may just have to reset my plans for the source end of my sound system. will keep you all posted.

Are you doing comps or something? Why is the box tuned so high?

[Kevin]

thats a legitamit guess at best really.. i had size constraints i wanted for this sub box and brian was able to meet them.. however it meant for very little cubic footage for the sub itself. i'd have to remeasure the box and re-enter the subwoofer specs into winisd to figure out where she's tuned. i know the sound is ultimately tuned higher than 40hz because all of the cycle sweeps i've done on the subwoofer in the past have yielded a sharp, noticeable roll off once you hit 40hz. my next step is to invert the sub if i care to do so.. but for the time being, i'm more concerned with paying off the system than worrying about building a new box/getting more gear.
