Audio gear for my 3G (pictures)

[Steve_Si]

Sold the Honda Torneo :(

But not before I ripped all the car audio and wheels off it :D

MTX Thunder 4320
40 watts RMS * 4 @ 4 ohms (probably higher)

Rockford Fosgate P6001 class D
600 watts RMS @ 2 ohms

Kenwood KDC-X7529
Tripple preouts, adjustable crossovers on all channels, 24 bit brown burr D/A converters etc etc

DLS components (front)
DLS two way speakers (rear)
60 watts RMS
outboard crossovers on both sets

Alpine 10" Type-X
1000 watts RMS :D
This thing barely fits in it's enclosure

And some wheels which have nothing to do with car audio :P Can't really put them on the 3G unless I change to a lower profile tyre :(

Nice

[MessyHonda]

put the sound system into the accord.

[Steve_Si]

That's the plan, but gotta get an alarm fitted first. Otherwise it will become someone else's sound system :(

That would be overkill for a car like this in this country :P Would be cool though. Flashing LED will keep most thieves away.

The car spends most of it's time in my garage anyway.

What size rims are those? THEY IS SEXY!

[Steve_Si]

The rims are 17 * 7 with a 45 offset. They would fit the 3G just fine if I changed the tyres to 215/40/17.

Sorry but I believe all races can steal as much as they want :)

I live in a area where whites are the big problem, don't judge by race, judge by each persons actions!

[MessyHonda]

that wohdog is just trubble here...LOL....steve go slap em for me.

[87lxiaccord]

That torneo was pimpin...oh well now the 3g gets a good system!

[3GCVC]

hurry up and install it.. i think that you should be upgrading that sealed box to a ported box

[Steve_Si]

A ported box is only an upgrade if you like deep boomy bass. I prefer it nice and tight :P

I've installed 3 new RCA cables and a bunch of speaker cable, but the speakers are too big for the pods so I gotta get something made up. Oh well, not much longer.

[AccordB20A]

me, trouble, never!!!

and steve.. you car has part of mine in it haha. i found out theres 2 types of "so called" 6.5inch speakers.. theres real 6.5 inch and theirs 16cm ones, aparently theres a difference and u gta get the right one.. it sux wen u gt speakers tht dnt fit, jst dnt break my rear speaker pods :P

[Steve_Si]

Well the rear pods had to be slightly customized, a thin MDF spacer was insertd in to them to raise the speaker by about 2mm. Without this the speakers were slightly too wide to fit. The covers still fit on :)

The front pods had to be made from scratch. They are just a thin MDF board in the shape of the original plastic basket, and a round thick MDF spacer on top of that. Once again the speakers were just too big.

Only one of the front components has been completed, so the fronts aren't hooked up yet.

The sub is deeper than it is wide :O 1000w RMS ftw.

And coming soon, this Sony SACD/DVD player. Now I can finally listen to my high res SACD and DVD Audio collection in the car :D Not that I have that many :(

It won't actually play DVD Audio, however most of my DVD Audio discs also include a DTS track of the same 5.1 recording. It may be compressed, but it's better than nothing.

It's other features match my kenwood. 3 pairs of RCA, 4 volt outputs, 24 bit DAC.

Sweet man.

Love the HU. Black FTW

[forrest89sei]

Looking Great Steve :D :thumbup:

[MessyHonda]

[Steve_Si]

No choice really. No one else makes a SACD player.

[jschatte]

haha same here.

looks good steve, and is there a difference between normal speakers and coxaital (rca) speakers, i knoticed you had some in the back

[Steve_Si]

Coaxal just means they have the tweeters fixed to the main speakers. It's very common. But it's not common for them to have an outboard crossover like mine do.

Yay I'm a LXi user :D

[AccordB20A]

ha good stuff man. looks good. prolly will sound even better being al quality components

[Steve_Si]

Well the SACD player finally arrived. Pity there is no way for me to be able to actually show you all what it sounds like. Let's just say I wont be putting CDs in my car ever again. Problem now is I only have a handful of SACDs :(
