12' LT Audio Build

[troy_audi0]

Hey,

So this is what I do for a living I plan on getting dirty very soon.. waiting on some parts that are not out yet and money I dont have yet as well..

So the Goal "Great Sound Quality"
I do not plan on putting super highend gear in, this build will be a basic but very nice build..
keeping the OEM headunit, I may add some extras to it (BT, USB ect)

Speakers: (Front) Sony XS-GS1612c & (Rear) XS-GS1621
Subwoofer(s) I have a custom enclosure for (2) JL Audio 8w1's but may install a single 10w1 ported.

I plan on doing the new Hi-Res Sony units for amps
XM-GS4 (75x4)
XS-GS100 (300x1)

I will use the Pac-Audio harness for clean and easy signal interface
Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

to insure a clean well setup system I will add the JL Audio Fix82 unit for time alignment and EQ Control
JL Audio FiX-82 - OEM Interface

I have my power kit and all the goods ready to go..
I hope to get some time tomorrow to start my installation.

Checkout the JL Audio options you will be much more happy with this product over the Kicker or JBL..
I have had a ton of failures with the Kicker to the point I do not sell them any more.. (I have only had 1 com back that was install related in over a year)

I want some better tunes so bad. Not my area and been nervous to mess up the MyLink. Dynamatted the doors and hatch and floor though. Man did that make a difference.

Let me get into this I do custom wire harnesses so doing a nearly plug'n play audio system is easy..

If you build a PnP harness to add an amp I'll buy in a heart beat!!

Trying to plan the audio.. Without taking too much room..
I would like too keep it "Looking Stock"
Getting a few ideas

 

[2014 Blue RS]

There's a few on here. Interested to see what you come up with.

 

[troy_audi0]

OK,

So my thoughts are leaning to the "Semi Custom"
Idea's..
(I will sketch some stuff to see what looks best)
but here are the rough idea's..

Passenger side, Build enclosure and amp rack.
The design is to mimic the Tach/Speedo with the "Gear" around the subwoofer and the " Speed Box" the Amp rach..

OEM Look:
Hide the amp, build the enclosure to mimic the lines in the floor, so it blends in almost no "Custom features"..maybe some lighting..

Just mix both Ideas...

Will see I hope to get a chance to sketch something up soon.
I am still waiting for my gear from Sony & Metra/Pac...

More updates soon.

I did a set up where I could keep the spare, I think my board would replace your spare liner? Removable, inexpensive.

I'm sure you've got something far better in store!
