Default Finally finished the Audio system.

Firstly thanks to everyone thats contributed to the sticky thread in this section. All the info I found on there was perfect and made the install so easy.

It took about 2 months part time in total but its now all finished, tuned in and slowly run in over a few weeks so she's sounding great.

I went with the following set up:
  • Kenwood 8000 series head unit running in a 5.1 set up
  • Focal RX2300 for the subs
  • Focal FP 2.75 for front and one for the rear speakers
  • Focal K2 165 Power front components
  • Focal Poly Glass 130 rear speakers
  • Focal 100mm mid high for front center (Bitch to fit LOL)
  • Two Focal poly glass V2 33 subs one in tight sealed box one in larger box to cover all types of music.
  • Two Focal high capacitors for the 2300RX
  • Reversing camera with night vision
  • ipan/pod interface
  • front night vision camara (just for fun)

Finally I covered the entire sub enclosure and rear false floor in matt carbon fiber so it looks a treat.









So thanks to all!

I'm curious if you had to mess with the phasing on any of your front speakers. Make any changes?

Apart from it being a b1tch to set up it up so that the RTA was right for my driving position the only other thing I had to play with was the tweeter adjustment due to where I placed them.

I set the extreme treble to normal and the crossover to 12 db/octave. The crossover unit on these components is pretty good. The bonus of using the 8000 series head unit is its very flexable so fine tuning was all done through that.
