so time for an update 
audio
Equipment consisting of
Source - Alpine 7998R w/ Alpine KCA420i iPod adapter
Amps/Speakers - 2x JBL 75.2 powering 2x sets Focal 165V30 6.5" components (the 2 JBL's will probably be changed for a DLS X-D40 4ch amp to help increase space due to extra batterys in the boot and to allow for a decent sized box for the RE XXX)
Amp/Sub - Orion D5000 powering 12" RE XXX v4
Power - standard 70amp alt, 3x Odyssey PC1700's, 0awg main feed and appropriate cabling to amps
Doors will be deadened with Dynamat Extreme, 2/3 rolls per side
so started off the other day by building the tweeter builds.
then today moved onto the door builds, not sure what layout i prefer, what are your thoughts opinions? Layout A or B?

didnt get as far as building anything but i got my mids in the door, cables are soldered. look well
so thats the front end sorted out, just to worry about amp rack and false floor. on a side note, i ordered distro blocks from CAS on wednesday, order was processed on thursday and then they were posted on friday..... then they say that the delivery will take 3 to 4 days!!!!
pitty CAD didnt have what i needed
would have had it an all!the construction of the door and tweeter builds were carried out over a 2 week period, the cabling, head unit installation, sound deadening, speaker installation etc was done over the weekend past.
went at it balls deep cos im fed up looking at it and i want some chooooonage and roof flexing back in the car

NICE!! But is the standard alternator goin to be able to power up all three batteries? I had a d5000 powerin a 15" HCCA, with three leisure batteries and my almera couldnt handle it. When it was playin the car wudnt pick up speed, it kept dropping voltage then my HU just use to cut out. I had to take it all out after two days. LOL. So now i got a small vibe cbr until i can get a proper alt.
i had the same setup in the rat, only 2 pc1700's though and the voltage only dropped to high 11's, no rev drop, no lack in loss of power even when booming at full tilt..... only thing that slowed it down was the weight lol
make sure you have done TB3, (the big 3) - batt pos to alt, batt neg to chassis, batt neg to engine block
when i first installed my setup (off a helfrauds battery btw) (2x jbl 75.2's (60amp)) ~500wrms and no big three, my lights dimmed and the revs dropped and that was only powering 1 set of compenents lol, when TB3 was done in 1/0 gauge all was ok!

Yh, I knew i shud hav tried TB3 but never bothered because i knew i wont be keeping it in the 1.4 for long. Ive been planning on getting a gti for a while now, just waiting on a few things, then you'll have some serious bass competition, lol. The HCCA is just waiting in a 5cf box tuned to 27Hz. Keep up the good work!
i had the re in a 4.5cuft after displacement and it dropped loooooowwwww tuned to 30hz, roof flexing ftmfw, rear view mirror was of no use at all as it ended up pointing at the floor all the time lol
was good driving along the motorway looking at the matrix boards, couldnt read them as they were justa blur, even looking at the reg on the car infront was funny.

Love it
and that was only 1 12"
i was feeding it the full 2.5kwrms and it loved it, only got a tad smelly once due to me not setting the subsonic correctly lol
the re has 54mm xmax and 108mm xmech, and is rated at 2kwrms. its never hit full excursion due to the shitty box design but it still massaged your back. dont think itl ever hit full xmax unless it was runnng free air. i let my mate hear it and he shit himself when the bass kicked in, i hit him with 'low' by flo rida
