Hey guys wanted to share my audio update.

I used to build systems for myself "way back when" but over the past decade have had a couple local shops do my builds. Given more free time this year, I figured it would be a fun project to jump back into.

Thanks in advance to @Hush Car Audio for answering questions & @ApicellaAutoSound for hooking me up with the tweeters & custom mounting brackets.

Fanned up a fuse holder bracket out of ABS for use in the battery tray. Mounted with provided screws (cut off the ends and filed smooth, and added a zip tie for additional security.

Deadened the doors using Knu Kolossus on the outer skin, inner skin, and some on the door card itself. I used transfer tape to help with some of the shapes and cutouts. I ended up REDOING the portion around the access panel so that the block off plate would sit flush against the deadener. Same thing with the speaker adapter panel. Live and learn.

Used nut serts and SGS block off plates & speaker adapters for GB60’s. Also used Metra silicone speaker surrounds. Here’s a pic mid install.

Hardware showed up. Nav-TV A2B with JL VX800/8i and JL Slash 600/1v3. Using Audison Connection distribution block (overkill for just these amps but used with future expandability in mind - radio,compressor, etc.).

Test fitted a few times and all looked good so I started routing cables. Turns out I overlooked checking clearance when seat bottom was in upright position o_O. Had to come up with a new layout.

And the “final” amp rack product. The cat5e cable for remote bass control is wound up and not yet ran, and USB cable is out for tuning, which is happening currently.

I set this up for both Optical & RCA. I can confirm Optical is very clean but volume @30 isn’t as loud as I expected. Seems like RCA’s have the potential to go louder but have yet to explore much.
