My latest project *pics*

[87DXHatch]

Here's my latest project I've done in my car... customizing my tape holder to hold an EQ. Took me at least 10 hours to do it, it was a huuuge pain. It looked like it was going to be easy at first, but then things just started mounting and it got to be a pain quick. I ended up cutting a LOT of the tape holder.

If anyone has any questions on what I did, or want help doing it theirselves, drop me an email, pm, or reply to this thread.

how did you connected?
do you have amp(s) running speakers?
what brand name EQ is that?

how did you connected?

Um, I'm not exactly sure what you mean but I can tell you how everything is set up with it:
The EQ has 2 inputs: one for "radio" one for "cd" which just means it has two sets of RCA in's, you can toggle between them on the face of it (there's a button). As of now I have nothing hooked up to the "radio" input, but I might connect my MP3 cd player in the future, if I don't upgrade my head-unit some time soon.
The EQ then has 3 RCA outs: 1 front, 1 rear, and 1 sub. There's a fader on the front to fade front to rear, and there's a variable sub crossover and volume on the front too. I have 3 Stinger 17 foot Hyper's connected to these out's.

I have an Alpine V12 5 channel amp in the trunk that will be pushing 2 or 4 speakers and a sub, but it's cold as hell out and I haven't been able to wire anything because it's been too cold and I don't have a heated garage to work in. Silence sucks

The EQ is a Monitor-1 brand. This is the same as Arc audio, just badged differently... actually, Monitor-1 is a little bit better in build quality than Arc.

nice choice of equipment. I like your eq project.

[shepherd79]

well, that is what i thought.
every EQ i look at has only one set of inputts and 3 sets of outputs.
well, he is what my setup will look this summer.
I will use my alpine deck, than i will connect front RCA outputs to first EQ to control the front, than i will use second EQ to control the back speakers. the sub will not go through the EQ, it doesn't need too.
that is the only way i see how to connect on my system.
i just don't like the idea of spliting one RCA inputt into 3 outputts.

Nice custom project. In my opinion though equalizers make the car look very... 80's.

[monks]

very nice, very clean. my audiobahn remote bass and Q-level control was placed there

[bobafett]

that looks really good. i'm putting guages right there... otherwise it would be fun to do something like that!

[87Hybrid]

I plan on doing something like that but leaving the door in place to cover it up.

[dXsquared]

umm... i still see the door

[MrBen]

I do too.

[87DXHatch]

I do three

Seriously though... if I had taken out the door, it wouldn't have been nearly as cool.

I finally got my car totally wired up today! It was a sultry 35° out so I didn't waste a moment! It looks so cool at night, each knob is lit up with a red LED behind it... open the door and it's cool, close it and no one has any idea it's there
