New Amp Rack and Amps.

[azpyroguy]

I've now fully integrated my Rockford 3Sixty.2 into my factory deck and was able to fully retain all Nav, UConnect, and Rear Seat Entertainment, the only thing I noticed was that the audio from those now come from all speakers.

I also gained a input for a IPod/MP3 Player on the 3Sixty.

The amps are - Rockford Power Series 400.4 4 channel, and a Punch 300.1 Mono Amp.

The 3Sixty essentially takes the factory amps and sub inputs and sums and flattens them out to a usable signal that is at or better than a high end head unit.

The entire tuning is controlled via my Windows Mobile Phone, or my Laptop using Blue tooth and a easy to navigate graphical interface.

The amp rack folds up on hinges and allows me to use the stowage area under the seat.

The box for the sub is a Q-Logic designed for our truck.

The bass, mids, and highs, are crisp, loud, clear, and VERRRY Bright!!

All my mids and highs except for the center channel (which is factory, as was retained), are Boston Acoustics.

The system now freaking rocks..... simply put!!

Here are some pics... :burnout: :rock:

I'm still looking for a way to incorporate my three 2000Watt RMS amps and my 2 subs to fit under the rear seats with the stock stereo. With only 1 Amp running my 2 subs I can see the volt meter go down to 10 with no accessories or headlights on. This sound project of mine will take some time to figure out but I hope that it can be done.

Well the 3Sixty does an excellent job of taking the stock sound and making the the signal correct.

Your voltage problem you will probably need 2 extra batteries, and a larger alternator to solve that problem, my personal preference would be to get a battery isolation setup use the under hood battery to power the truck, and then the two extra batteries (whereever you put them) to run the audio system....

Think about the load your putting on your factory electrical...

2000w / 12 = 166.6 amps per amp RMS x 3 = 500 amps of draw... thats enough to kill any electrical system.

I would suggest a Phoenix Gold or Custom wound 200-250amp alternator.. it will cost you some buggies... around $500-600 for it....

Sure why not.. but I think that SRTbrads system would have a better chance of being heard over state lines... =)

Damn nice setup!!:rock::thrasher:

I have always been a fan of RF, just can't afford them!!


What model of BA Speakers did you use?

 

[TREKER]

Very nice job.... I am impressed... People are so talented here... :rock:

The only thing that I dont like about about my whole install is all the "split loom" tubing snakes... but since I wanted the panel to hinge and be able to use that storage area I had to forgo some of the wiring hiding that I usually would do.

Looks awesome!! Nice job!
