Thread: Changing my Audio Install

Well...I'm that guy always changing equipment...

So I've done some things and definitely changed my install. I haven't finished but it will be a dramatic change. I'll start with the amp that will run the entire system.


Zed's Leviathan

* High performance full range class D amplifier

* 6,5,4 or 3 Channel amplifier

* 150w x 6 at 4 ohm

* 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossovers

* Burr Brown ICs in the preamplifiers

* Ch1+2 High Pass crossover

* Ch3+4 High and Low Pass crossovers

* Ch5+6 Low Pass and subsonic crossover

* Ultra high efficiency with smart power supply

I somewhat finished the doors too...still need Closed Cell Foam.

I plan on wrapping my A pillars in vinyl right now but we'll see what happens. I'd like to do myself even...






I also put some random Dynamat I had laying around around the underside of the speaker where it attaches to the baffle. Then I used extruded butyl on the baffle to make sure I had a tight seal.

ehh only listed for 599... not to bad

I'm excited. I have a slew of posts and pictures. This weekend I'm going to start fiberglassing subs behind the tail lights. Hopefully that works out well

Here's the build pics.

It's my first time ever doing this...I don't have a clue

Your sub is in your trunk!! I wanted to put it under the dash but I found out I really don't have the room with the current sub selection. Also, I really don't want to deal with ears popping when I roll down windows...so I left that pass through alone.

It sure is! I updated photos. .5 cubic feet after deducting for speaker displacement. It'll be functioning off about 600watts bridged from the Leviathan. If I didn't want trunk space I'd build a bandpass too I wonder if I could model something for that fiberglass enclosure?

ha I'm sure you did ;P

Anyways, it sounds good I suppose? I'd much rather have kick panels pointed at me. No way I can get those 6.5's on a pillar They definitely don't dig like a mid designed for bass but the mid-range is beautiful. I can cross them at 60hz w/24db slope. That's why I was ok with throwing out the idea of my sub up front. I originally wanted both 12's in the rear but the left side posed issues with the magnet from the DIYMA 12.

Installed the Leviathan...















Now I just need to add a "face" plate to it so all you see is my amp!

Here's the amp glow in the trunk at night...not sure I like it yet...

Ya...I'm not too fond of the free 'lighting'

That's a link to the cross overs...mine were damaged so I took them apart. I want to get some plexi and maybe make them displayable in a cut out in the face plate.

I decided to check out my passive x-overs and for whatever reason they ended up sounding really good with this setup. Originally it was trash with several other setups I tried. I think they designed the cross overs for an A-pillar install because the mid has a 6db LP slope. For whatever reason it works pretty well. *shrugs*
