Focal 3-way components, Audison SR 5.600 amplifier, JL Audio 10TW3D-4 subwoofer and custom enclosure

Amazing craftsmanship. Can you help me out with where the amplifier is mounted and how it receives its signal level inputs.

I mounted the amp under the drivers seat. I grabbed the inputs by using a T-harness at the head unit brain

How do you like these focal 3 ways?
I’ve been debating those or the Morel carbon nano 3 ways. Does your amp have a built in DSP?

Thanks guys

and he's back for moar...

Nice, as always! Kick panel location not doing what you want?

They are ok. They might be swapped out for the Flax series

I got this idea from the Focal America Bronco. I was up for the challenge so I went for it. I also swapped out the 5channel for a SR 4.500, SR 1.500 amps and added another JL sub. There is no DSP yet. I saw that Metra is releasing a dash kit for aftermarket head units so that will prob be next

Got a link to this "Focal America Bronco"? Google search lands me on this YT from soundsgoodstereo, but it might not be what you're referencing.

That series of videos was a big confidence booster for me before I tore my interior apart earlier this year.

In that build they toyed with the idea of adding some mid-bass to the doors, but I think they scrapped it. If there's a build that follows through with that concept I'd love to see it.

If there was a 5% improvement available in my system it would be a slightly lower xover to the sub from the front stage without sacrificing impact. The TM65s are phenomenal. But It would be really nice to add some TM8s into the mix.

But that would require more amplification and more DSP channels so please stop giving me ideas.

cant speak to the quality of these, but these guys have a lot of door pod options for the bronco

That is the build I'm referring to that Sage at Sounds Good Stereo did. JT from Anaheim did the door speaker build. Sage explains it here...

I'm familiar with this company. This would the way cheaper way to go if your were purchasing and not building. I did message them. There is no door block off plate included. That's the extra step I took, was to seal off the door

Mobile solutions FTW! I love fabricating too, but MTI will be my go to for my braptor. The mrs would kill me if I did everything from scratch. I take wayyyy too long doing things. I plan on running k2 power m’s (3-way actively) and k2 6.5 coax in the mti rear pods. i like that you use good equipment too down to the wire! Did you happen to test for grounds? If so, where did you find the best ground to be?

what did you use to bond the acrylic to the plastic in the dash? Epoxy With black pigment?

 

[JP Fabrication]

I grounded directly to the battery. 3M panel bond for the acrylic.

Congrats on getting the K2m's

M noob at this. Anyways, does the voltage matter? From spec it seems like the audison amp requires 15v. It

For now I made a down firing sub enclosure. Future plans are I will make my own style JL Stealthbox
