18 inch osaka rs5's other than that pretty standard, beefier rear sway bar and springs lightly reset, planning a killer audio install at some stage- going the 5.1 route again, just cant help but make it difficult on myself :-)

Very nice :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
she looks very sexy,i like your rims. :cool:
-
Yeah i'm happy with my choice of wheels, they really make the car, they change tint a bit in the light- brighter light makes them look almost chrome
-
LOVE your choice of rims, they really suit the car. Congrats.
-
Well done Bobby.. I like the rims a lot too :mrgreen:
-
looks sweet man! you must do a write up of the stereo install! i would love to see how you do it!
although i dont think ill go as nuts on this car as my other one if i ever put a stereo in it/can put a stereo in it!
-
I've started stockpiling some parts (another radio fascia, boot side trims etc) and so far have stripped the interior and added dynamat sound proofing to the entire floor.
Looking at alpine 502 dvd head unit, maybe the 355 theatre amp or use my 701 processor, focal speakers all round (including centre speakers where the centre top box goes) and some sort of custom sub enclosure in the rear, with the system being mainly discrete and not taking up too much room. The biggest issue is having to cut the original fascia, hence buying a spare one to restore the car one day to original.
Lots of gear (read $$$$$$$) to buy before i start the serious install side of it though, probably late this year.
-
woah! sounds bloody serious!! thats gonna cost some serious coin!!
-
I do like whit but its a £$%$£^& to keep clean
-
love it, such a cool car
-
Hi Bobby,
seems that your rims are making a big bang :cool:
I do like whit but its a £$%$£^& to keep clean
Why? White color is considered as dust-resistant, esp. comparing to black.
The £$%$£^& is to keep it unscratched :rolleyes:
-
Jeepers Bobby :eek: Going to be an awesome car when you have finished.. please keep us updated with pix and info as your projects happen.. :mrgreen:

guess who's got the mod bug. :wink: I've been a mod addict for years,the wife keeps telling me I'm not a teenager any more, and to grow up. :lol:
-
You should listen to her :P :P
-
Nice car mate.
The sound system sounds better than my home one (not that that's much chop either).
A write up and pics etc would be a good addition here - as there' a few here who would benefit from it.
-

never! sorry dear,I'll do that right away. :lol: :lol:

Ha, my last system was better than my home system and i thought i had good home gear. i ended up spending something like $8k in the last car but this one wont be so complicated (hopefully)
When i start doing it i'll take plenty of pics and post up info, first thing will be to sound proof the doors with the same gear i did the floor, a fair bit of road noise can be killed here plus it makes the doors more solid for decent door speakers.
As for the mod bug, yeah i get that from time to time, I'm 39 this year and i dont think its a maturity thing, its about wanting to use your skills to make something better, i bet your wife wont stop you from modifying the kitchen or other parts of the house that suit her ??? lol
-
I've done every part of our house,she's happy. :razz: my comments about my mods are a bit beefed up,my car is how i want it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I'm not allowed to mod hers but. :wink:
-
LOL... lower hers while she is not looking!
-
:lol: :lol:
-
Oh yes, this is one very attrctive i30, and the wheels are superb
certainly compliment your i30 perfectly.
-
Noise dampening- starting with the floor
[deleted]
-
Very impressive, how much dynamat did you end up using and (if I may ask) how much?
-
so far 2x bulk packs @ $220 each
-
And the next question ... Has it made much difference at this stage.. :question: :wink:
-
LOL how much does a pack weigh?
-
Its made a noticable difference but these are very noisey tyres. I guess each pack weighs about 10kg? Will also spray the wheel arches with bitumen at some stage.
-
LOL your car is going to weigh a ton more when your done!!
-
Ha, well prob about 60kg more at least !! but the audio gear is lighter/smaller than the last car, the new Alpine PDX amsp are amazing for their size, they will fit under the spare wheel cover/rear floor
-
not bad! not bad at all my friend!
how many watts RMS can these amps push out?
-
I need 3 amps to complete the system
pdx-f6 to run the front speakers @ 150 watts rms each
another f6 to run rears and centre speaker, same power output.
pdx-m12 to run sub @ 1200 watts rms which is way over what i need but better to have amplifier head room. That way can keep all the gains down and get a cleaner sound. My sub needs 600 watts rms to run to its full potential.
Will end up with a couple free amp channels and later down the track may put some small 5 inch subs up front in the passenger footwell area. But still saving and determining end budget at the moment.
-
1200W rms sub amp... WOAH
i mean i have a kicker 400w RMS amp with a kicker comp sub and that goes spastic... i would hate to see how 1200W goes off!!
*watches bobbyd vibrate past because of the bass*
-
Ha, I'm not actually a doof doof man, more into sound quality- but the sub (Boston 12.5lf) is made to go in a small enclosure, and play accurately right down to below 20hz, has a cone stiff enough you can stand on it- subsequently it needs massive power to drive it, recommended 600-1000 watts rms. And with that sort of low frequency i will end up chasing lots of body rattles no doubt.
-
ohh heck yer, you will be there with the stick on foam rubber putting patches everywhere!
i like my sound quality, but wow, not as extreme as you!!
sounds like you are going to have a bloody awesome system! good stuff man! nothing better than traveling and having a good stereo to make the trip a bit easier!
-
my younger brother has a nice set up in an old falcon [eb] and he said its cost him almost $6000 to buy in the last year or so. he even has an extra battery in the boot. he has trophies from sound off competitions. my eldest son was sitting in my brothers car and cranked up the volume,his long hair was moving like there was a fan in the car . now that's doof doof. :lol: :lol: :cool:
-
Looks Good that Car.
Hope to see the next level. :wink:
-
hahahaha 2i30's thats spastic!!! i love it!!
-
his car has a false floor made out of ply wood to hide the massive amount of wires hes put in. the boot is just amps and subs,no back seat either.its a speaker panel. :lol:
-
my last car was pretty full of gear, a VS Berlina. I originally planned a small system for this car but its growing and I'll probably end up building a small false floor in the boot to hide wiring and the amps, also have a 10 farad capacitor to go in plus the 5.1 processor. But i think it will still be a good usable hatch area as the amps are so much smaller now.
-
...cranked up the volume,his long hair was moving like there was a fan in the car
:lol: :lol:
very descriptive
-
Well I'm feeling very proud- i managed to score an Alpine F1 status pxa-h900 processor (Well its coming from Asia)
This processor is awesome- cost an arm and a leg when it was new. 31 band eq per channel, can run 3 speakers up front, has automated time alignment and eq adjustment via the microphone so you can get the best possible sound without too much hassle.
Also scored the 3 amps from USA saving me about $1k. Just a waiting game now til they arrive !!
-
SOUNDS good 8)
-
my mom and dad had a stereo where you put a mic on the drivers seat head rest, then set it up to run, closed the door, waited 30 seconds, then it did some stuff and "set up the stereo"
-

Thats part of what this processor does- its automated for time delay (so all the speakers sound reaches you at a time that tricks your brain into thinking you are sitting exactly in the middle of left and right speakers) and for equaliser (so that the music sounds exactly the way the recording was meant to- regardless of car acoustics, speaker angles, speaker flaws etc, well to a point anyway) Hook this baby up to some good speakers (i.e. french made focals) and its as good as it gets. Lots of work ahead of me, once its under way I'll take plenty of photos.
But for now i await 3 amps and a processor from overseas. Buy the head unit and front speakers next month probably. I already have rear and centre speakers.
-
Bobbyd need to know in your bulk pack how much in sq. foot . I think I need about 45 sq. foot . they sell bulk packs at 36 sq, foot . not figureing over lap how much should i buy ? thx duke
-
well very impressed, you did a great job pulling it all to bits and laying on the dynamat, $400 is a bit rich for my blood ( well not mine actually, but the missus can't understand why this seems necessary), although I think just doing the rear hatch area would make a big difference, --10/10
Had a look at Bunnings and they have rolls of roofing type material that looks the same as Dynamat-it is 144mm wide and 10 metres long and costs about $68, problem may be that it might smell when the floor heats up, probably may work out the same price anyway.
-
Yes women have different priorities in life- then they tell you how important jewellery is !!!
I dont think the floor will get that hot, give it a try, something is better than nothing. Whats the stuff called ?
-
I'm not generally a white car fan *hides* lol. But I just wanted to say that your car has changed my mind! It looks amazing, I love how dark the tint looks against the white and good choice of wheels!
