New System in the Grand Marquis (Build Thread)

pair of batteries weigh 108 lbs, I don't know what the amps and spare weigh... let's just say my tips scrape the road quite often lol

 

Me and that guy are trading woofers and crossovers. We have the same tweeters.

Here's what I have.

Here's his woofer.

Here's his crossover.

 

I got 2 pairs of Infinity Kappa 6x8's (100 rms watts) for $200 from my local shop... talked em down from $260.

All 4 speakers are installed. I have the gain set at about 40% of the way up. I'm very impressed with the sound quality. I have the volume on 32 and it plays the midbass beats on Top Back, Xxplosive, What's the Difference, and The Watcher pretty well without distortion. I cut the rear deck too. When I played Da Blow on a cd, once I got to volume 30 the CD skipped lol. The coins in my ashtray were bouncing around and my ipod was sliding across the cup holder. I shut the doors and trunk and played different songs on volume 30 or 32 and looked at the car from the outside. The trunk is still flexing a little, but I did notice a strange high pitched buzzing noise that seemed to be coming from the top of my rear window. I pressed down on the top of the window a little and it sounded like it was going to crack.

 

Kickers? I had MTX 5x7's up front and MTX 6x9's in back, then 5.25 CDT components up front and the MTX 5x7's in back, then just the MTX 5x7's in front... unless you're talking about my CVR12's and 400.1's that I sold?

 

4 cubes @ 32Hz with 58.5 sq. inches of port... I think I turned the gain up a hair since the vids... maybe the Q needed to be broken in, because it seems like I've got more excursion now.

 

Yeah, high light blue pearl.

 

I ordered a pac200 to protect my kinetiks... hopefully it won't hurt my voltage.



I want to get one of these to monitor my 1000D when I'm driving... will there be a voltage drop from resistance? like say 13.9v at the amp and it reads 13.8v up front?

 

I changed the exhaust a few months ago. I don't have mufflers or rear cats... just front cats, an H pipe, and some straight pipes.
