Hard to see, but a digital Voodoo readout for the 0 gauge power wire.

Many thanks to Design Tech, in Union, NJ.. these guys are the most awesome installers ever. You want it done right.. gotta go to them.

I can't even get into what went into this car.... the full writeup will come tomorrow...

Well let's begin here.

There is an Eclipse 8053 headunit which puts back 16 balanced volts across balanced lines to Eclipse's balanced line convertor which feeds the amps a super clean 8 volts.

From there for the main 4 channels... there is an Arc Audio 4150CXLR which puts out according to them 85x4 RMS.. but that is extremely underrated, and the amp gains are at 0.. completely turned down.

Same goes for the gains on the 2500CXL which is putting out 525x2 RMS (again underrated) to each Eclipse Aluminum DVC 10" subwoofer mounted inverted in a fiberglass and wood enclosure, covered in Alcantara. Each amp is mounted on custom fabricated metal bracketry.

Between the two woofers, on an inset aluminum plate, sits a 5 Farad Soundstream Capacitor, which receives it's power in from a 0 gauge power wire, which has also ran through a Voodoo digital power readout, where the old CD changer was. Power goes from there to a distribution block, where each amp is fed a 4 gauge power input. The capacitor actually reads out voltage also, and lights up to the power draw (didn't think the lights changed originally.. will have to decide on that one to come).

What you don't see, is the wood and fiberglass amp surrounds, which covers the whole rear area, covered also in alcantara. The side panels have had the vents filled and smoothed, and have been covered in alcantara.

 

so nice man. great job

 

Thank you

 

Very nice...must sound amazing

 

The car is really loud and clean. It will probably be in Design Tech's booth at Waterfest. But otherwise you'll be seeing it at the shows and competitions.

 

sry man but you need to clean your wires up more

 

They are now... that pic was still in progress.

 

going to be completly hidden?

 

which serve as pedestals for the amps. The main cover piece has cutouts for the amp faces to show through.
