sintoni Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) hi all. the goal is to build (the faster the better) a 3 way system plus a sub in the trunk on my arosa. to be fair i spotted some fine works here, thus i decided to place a 2 way on the dash with home-made pods for a Ciare CT250 and a CM501, to keep the midwoofer in the door (Ciare CW 161N) and place both subwoofer (Coral Target TLS 12) and the amplifier (Zapco ST-5X) in the trunk. the radio is a Kenwood KDC-X5100 BT. the subwoofer came with a project of 32 lt closed box, very close to the volume of the spare tyre area. that's why i decided to follow that way. here are some pics, more to follow. cheers, guido Edited August 21, 2017 by sintoni info added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sintoni Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 ty mate. now working on a spare dashboard: i'm gonna keep the single midwoofer in the doorcard, yet i wanna put a 2 way system to improve the soundstage. i have to do some empiric test and choose between a dome midrange and a dome tweeter (hpf 1 khz) or try and fit a quality coax (focal 130 ac, hpf 250 hz). both are good choices but they need a different amount of job: stay tuned and cheers from italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sintoni Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 the first pod is ready to be painted; the holes on the dashboard do match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sintoni Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 nice: the pods are ready to be painted. they fit correctly on the car, close to the windscreen as thought at the beginning of the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sintoni Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Working on the door cards. They will fit two woofers each. The structure is MDF 19 mm + fiberglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sintoni Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) At last, I decided to place two cone midranges on the dashboard (Hertz HL 70) and four 6,5" woofers (Electronic Melody MCW65N) on the doors (two per card). The tweeters are two Ciare Planet CT 250; the subwoofer is a Coral Target TLS 12. Tweeters and midranges need a passive crossover I'm gonna build; everything else has an electronic cut (approx 80 Hz sub - 300 Hz woofers, to be decided during the set-up).

sintoni Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) That's the structure for the left door card. Everything was done with a router; now it has to be finished with some epoxy filler and sandpaper. Edited October 7, 2017 by sintoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sintoni Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) TY mate. keep in mind it's not my job (i'm not a pro), and i'm very slow at working (I still have to fill and paint the speaker pods and the gauge pod) Edited October 14, 2017 by sintoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sintoni Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Some grills to prevent the loudspeakers to be kicked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sintoni Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Mounted everything on the standard door card: I had to use some fiberglass (over acoustic carpet) to close the gap (the door cards are not plain). BTW, the left pod is about to be carpeted in black leather by a pro. Meanwhile, the pods for midranges and tweeters (and the one for two gauges) are about to be sprayed.
