Burning up my vacation.

[luvmyhondas]

Since I can't seem to keep a car, I decided to go ahead and spruce up the truck a bit. I've been gathering up equipment for my truck for the past few months. I got some time off work and got a wild hair to get some of the install done. The truck is my 2002 F350 XLT SRW 4x4 CC LB PSD.


I'm going to have to name the project something like Rerun, or DejaVu as a majority of the gear is older generations of product. The MBQuart components are from back in the day when they were still German. The Rockford Fosgate amps have long been discontinued. The only current pieces are the woofer (I was going to use some old RF 12's but got a deal on the Boston), Rockford Fosgate processor, and Kenwood Headunit.

Here's the woofer Boston SPG555 with a 2ohm coil:


So i started by installing some Dynamat Extreme



I ran a 0 ga main power cable to the rear as well as the 6 channels of RCA. I also ran AudioQuest Flex 4 (16/4) into the doors to prepare for the component install.



The rear speakers were removed completely and the plan is to build speaker mounting plates on the lower portion of the rear doors to mount the 6.5" driver. I plan on vinyl wrapping them and may even incorporate the 'superduty' logo into the vinyl (like the tailgates on later model SD).
Basically, replace the 'dimpled' section with a speaker panel.


Removed the center 20% seat and console in order to fit the sub enclosure. I plan on building a top section that will have cupholders, storage, and possibly a place to hold my phone and the Edge Evolution CS programmer. Here's a pic of the raw enclosure..it's 2.1 cubic ft PORTED! The port will down fire just behind the front seats with the woofer downfiring just above the transmission 'hump'. Again, this is just the raw enclosure it will get trimmed out nicely to better fit in with the interior. I have to thank my buddy Danny M for the assist on the box.



The system will consist of the following components:
Kenwood DDX-814 headunit
Rockford Fosgate Three Sixty.2 processor
2- Rockford Fosgate Power 551x 4ch amplifiers (components)
1- Rockford Fosgate Power 551s 2ch amplifier (sub)
1- Boston Acoustic SPG555 Oval Subwoofer
2- 1 farad capacitors
mix of Monster Cable, Audioquest, Tsunami and Stinger wires, cables, and power distribution.
3- bulk kits of Dynamat Extreme (so far)

I may add some shallow mount 8" Kenwood woofers in place of the lower door pockets in the front doors if I can't get the midbass just so.

I felt like sharing...thanks for looking.

Will be interested to see the rest of the progress.

Keep it comin'!

Thanks everybody. Plans have changed a bit. Gonna go ahead with the shallow 8" woofers in front doors since I picked up another Power 551x. So, now it's 3- 551X and 1-551S to power this setup. I got the amp/xover/processor board semi-laid out the other night, but haven't taken any pics yet.

yeah, did I forget to mention that WWFH was helping? sorry, about that. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was doing this entirely by myself.... I did have assistance. And I stayed till 5:30...
