Ute Installs

[hanra]

Chasing ute owners with Amp/s and sub/s. Hoping to get some ideas on install setups. Please post up some pics of your ute stereo install.

Thanks.

just got word from the owner of the ute , he sold the ute with no pics of the subs.

what ideas have u got and ill sketch something up for u if u like

SUBS: size and how many , where do u want them ?

(I have fitted 4 12s in a ba ute)

I could probly 6 if u dont want the amps visable

AMPS : how many ? hidden or visable

Input : my icc mod or LLC or aftermarket head unit

video : on icc or seperate screen

media : ps2/ps3 /xbox car PC dvd in car dvd?

any other things u want to have?

Not going major with this one. My other car has two 12's, two 4 ch's, two pair of 7 by 10's and a pair of splits.... yadda yadda yadda....!

I still want to use the space behind the seats, mainly behind the passenger seat. So was thinking something like the below pic but with just the one sub/box behind the drivers seat.

ICC is modded as per your guide. Have Monochrome LCD in the ute with 6 disc. (prestige sound) running stock tweeters. Not worrying about upgrading ICC or running any media through it. Not sure how the stock tweeters will go being amplified?

Would prefer the amps hidden, perhaps under the seats, not sure have to check for space. Dont really need heat generators near me!!!!

Im running 4 of these Kenwood 5 by 7's, which only have a rated input power of 40w

I was intending on running this 4ch to drive the speakers, has 40w per channel output: http://www.ryda.com.au/Kenwood-KAC-M645-Ca...r-p/kacm645.htm

Want to run one 12in, spotted this one, 350w input power:

Thinking of running that sub with this Mono amp, 300w output.

I was thinking something like the below pic but with just one sub behind the drivers seat.

that install, looks like the back of the cab has been cut out to fit the sub enclosures outside and under the tray... its doable but I dont think you wanna cut massive holes in your cab do ya?

[hanra]

Nah, he hasnt cut it. Im looking at a shallow sub to.

the carpet that runs down the back wall there is about an inch or 2 shelf that sits forward of the depth u can actully goto behind the carpet

I can make anything u like , whay u suggest sounds good and I can make it however u like PM me for more chat if u like

[groper]

ok, it might look good, but does it sound good like that? for a sub to work well and sound good, they need a volume of air that is determined by an eqation that includes the specs of the driver. even with a low volume driver, id be suprised if those boxs had anywhere near enough volume to make those drivers efficient. With a proper enclosure, 1 driver could easily outperform 2.

[hanra]

That sub I listed lists its Enclosure Size for a Sealed Box at: 0.8 cu.ft.

Id do my best to knock up an MDF box of that size.

[hanra]

Sealed Box Dimensions (trapezium shape) 773 x 362 x 107 x 172mm ( 21mm thick MDF)(WxHxD1xD2)

So its a pretty big box!

Sealed box volume 22.6L

hey brad, had an xt ute before the ship I have now with the same sub. I had it in a center box enclosure from autobarn. I think I still have it if you want to have a look at it. it did the job & it look good with the sub poking its head head the console.
