Vehicle: 1994 Geo (Toyota) Prizm LSi (Corolla). 1.6L DOHC. 33MPG, FTW!
Electrical: Whopping 70amp alternator. Orbital yellowtop battery. Big3 in 4g (fused @ 150a). The battery is grounded straight to the alternator casing as well as the body of the car. 4g (fused @ 150a) running to a Monster block with 4g going to each amp.
HU: Alpine CDA-9855. I'm running it 3 way active. The only processing I'm using is the internal crossovers and Time/Correction (time delay). No EQ'ing (simply because I do not have access to an RTA). Internal power is turned off. Blackout mode is always used. Having time delay on each individual driver is the shiz-nit!
Power: Alpine PDX4.100 -bi-amplifying the front stage. Crunch P1500.1 on the sub stage (yea I know, 'Crunch', but I'm running it @ 2ohms for better damping, lower THD, and a longer lifespan) -1kW for $147 shipped :)
Speakers: Front stage: Alpine SPS-1015 3/4" silk dome tweeters -'50w' tweeters getting about 120w each. Silver Flute W14RC25 mids -'60w' mids getting about 120w each. Sub stage: Boston Acoustics G51044 in 1.5 cubic feet @ 26.7Hz.
Crossover points: As of now, the tweeters are getting 3.2kHz & up, the mids are getting from 3.2kHz down to 80Hz, & the sub is getting 80Hz & down. 24dB/octave at all points.
Bragging rights: I did 135.4dBs @ 36Hz legal on the Term Lab. Also, this is the best sounding system I've ever heard (of course LoL). -I live in a small town...
Possible upgrades: When/ if the Alpine tweeters go out, I would like to upgrade to the VR line of JL tweeters -only because David likes them LoL. I need to build another box for my sub -one that'll fit in this trunk a little better -and rearfire for a couple more tenths (at least LoL). Also, I need to upgrade the power wire to at least 2g.
Special thanks to: i am an idiot (for much technical support over the past couple of years. DYohn (David) (for recommending the Silver Flute mids -MANY thanks, they are BEAUTIFUL LoL). haemphyst (David aka: ham fists of fury) (for designing my box, helping with crossover points, and overall system design.
I will add some pics whenever I build a new, vehicle-specific subwoofer box.
Let me know what you think! Thanks!
