Hey all,

So after waiting for a long long time, my car is finally getting the system done next week. I have exchanged many texts and emails with Bing, and originally we were going with a wideband front stage. Well, as the installation schedule approaches, we had discussed this in greater details and I am now getting an active 2 way front stage setup instead.

As for the trunk, my goal is to maintain the spare tire, maintain the backseat passthrough, and take up as little room in the trunk as possible, so we have decided to do a custom 8" enclosure in the corner (simplicity in sound might make this available to ft86club.com forum members in the future). With no false floors, the logical place to mount the amps would be a custom amp rack that is directly underneathe the rear deck. Once again, the original goal was to utilize the Mosconi One amplifiers but we soon realized there is no way to fit 3 of those under the rear deck so we have decided to go with Arc Audio instead.

So here is the equipment list:

Front Stage:

tweeters: Illusion Audio carbon c6 beryllium tweeters in stock dash location

midbass: Illusion audio carbon c6 6.5" drivers into doors

Power for the front staqe will be as follow:

1 Arc Audio KS 125.4 mini bridged sending 250 watts @ 4 ohms to each tweeter

1 Arc Audio KS 125.4 mini bridged down to 2 channels, sending 250 watts to the midbass

Subwoofer:

1 Audiomobile Elite 8" subwoofer, powered by 1 Arc Audio KS125.2 amplifier bridged with 250 watts @ 4 ohms

Since this is an SQ build, everything will be tuned with a Mosconi 6to8 digital signal processor.

I will update this thread with in-progress pictures during next week, and I am sure Bing will complete a build log as well =)

Meanwhile if you guys have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Update 4/18/2013

Car all done and picked up. I'm very happy

Beautiful and artistic sub enclosure (notice the attention to detail: custom pressed metal grill, carbon fiber fabric wrapped trim ring, decorative black vinyl design, and durable carpet):

Amps mounted on rear deck through fabulous metal fabrication:

Thanks,

Brian
