A couple year of ago when i bought my car, the audio was pretty much factory. I never leave factory audio installed, i just can't no matter what lol. So last year i decided to do an SQ build over the winter. It did not turn out the audio like i wanted unfortunately. So i decided to rip everything out except the amp rack i built and start over. I went a different route this time around. I miss the old school equipment. I had a ton of different builds in all my cars when i was younger. So i searched high and low for a few new old school amps and sub. So i just wanted to share with you all my current build going on.
Head unit- JVC DD. Nothing fancy, will be looking at something else.
Sub- Rockford Fosgate RFD2210 HX2 10"
Component Set 6.5 Infinity ( 2 sets )
Sail panel speakers- Kicker compvt65 6.5" shallow mount subwoofers
Amp 1- Running both component sets and sub- Kicker kx700.5
Amp 2- Running Shallow Mount Subs- Rockford Fosgate RF-X2

Th sub box is around .70 cu. Used a little bit of polyfil for the sub box. I didn't care for the tweeters that came with the component set,so i have 4 more that are on their way. I wanted something a little brighter and the others were a little soft for my taste. Front crossovers are in the kick panels and rear crossovers are in the hatch. I didn't want to loose my t-top area, thats why i built a "floating" amp rack and went with a single 10" instead of a dual or triple box that covered the t-top area. Amp rack is 1/2 mdf wrapped in carbon fiber. The rear speakers are 6.5". The way i did this was i bought some acrylic and cut it so it would fit over the stock speaker placement. Used hole saws and cut openings for the 6.5" woofer and 3"4 tweeter. Then wrapped those in carbon fiber wrap also. Not 100% perfect, was a little bit of a PITA. 0 GA wire running to a fused dist block. All power wire,speaker wire and rca's are OFC. Majority of the car has sound dampening in it.






I fired it up yesterday and did a little tweaking on the sub and shallow mounts. I had a few of these back in the day so i know what i was getting. Sub hits very hard, the kicker shallows really bring a strong field to the front of the car. Overall so far, i'm very pleased with the sound. Once i get the tweeters, i can install them, put everything back together and start tuning the system . Just thought i would share my little build with you.
