Car Audio Build Log for an 02 Maxi
Hey guys, i'm new here and this thread will be used for me to show you my car audio build. It will be slow coming so bare with me.
Equipment:
Deck: Eclipse AVN-726e
Subs: 2 Sundown Zv4 10s
Amp: Sundown NS-1v2
Speakers: Sundown neo-pro(6.5 or 8s.) haven't decided yet.
Tweets: 2 Obsidian audio st-1s
Highs amp: Sundown 50.4 or Sundown 100.4
Electrical: DC power 320spx-i , XS Power batteries and supercaps.
A Bunch of 1/0 wire other metal tools.
I know not everyone is a fan of car audio, and you may ask why all this...I'm trying to break 150 legal.
Pics to come soon.

Wow! I envy your amps. I just fixed all my stuff... meaning legit speaker mounting. Cool you did the valve covers too. You are going to have a lot of fun!
Take some pics of the sound deadener too. I'm interesting in just doing my doors at some point. Probably not going all out though, haha.

Very nice. I put in a new headunit, but haven't taken a the total plunge yet. This motivates me. You're doing a nice job.
FWIW....in my other car I put in Fatmat Rattletrap, and that stuff did a fantastic job. It's pretty cheap on Amazon too. Until you do sound deadening, you don't know what you are missing.

if you're worried about space you can even make a box to fit behind the driver side rear wheel well (opposite of the jack and tools)as for sound deadener ,yeah it makes a big difference!

Hey guys...got a little work in today...not much as i had hoped but at least it was something.
Upgraded the wiring...did the big three and added multiple (probably useless grounds lol)
and started on the box
i didnt take much pics but the box is actually almost done...just need to put in the second baffle, brace and cut the holes. i will most likely stain it as i have used birch ply

Covered my wire in some Techflex. i recommend this to anyone installing wire where abrasion may occur.
finally was able to test fit the box...it barely got in the trunk. Still need to cut the holes...been slacking a bit

Nice job on the doors. I couldn't reach the inner part of the door, so I just did the outer part where you mount the speakers. Kinda feel like that was a waste of time.
Everything looks amazing though. So clean.
