maxima619 · 07-24-2006, 09:47 AM

Finlly got to install my system...It took me like a one day and a half, but very happy after all. This is the first time I use focal speakers in one of my cars... the only thing I can say is that I love focal speakers from now on. here is a lsit of what I stalled:

focal 6.5 165v1 ( on all 4 doors)
2 10" jl audio w6v2
1 alpine amp 75x4
1 zapco ref 750
OEM RF HU

I'll be upgrading the alpine amp for a zapco 360.4..... also I need to get a new battery... the oem battery wont lost long.

here are the pics

Very nice and hope to see it in person at Silver Strand on the 30th...

That looks real nice, I like the forward firing subs. How do they sound? Can you post some more pictures that aren't turned on the side or pm them to me? I am really interested in what you did with the box. You have an 04??

CVTITAN: thanks for the comment!, oh and yeah I'll be at the meeting this sunday!

heath22: Hi, I bought the box from ebay... it was made for a 88-98 chevy 1500. here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/Dual-10-Chevy-Ex...QQcmdZViewItem

the subs sound very hard!. The only thing with the box is that you need tu push the seat a lettle harder so it can lock... but the seat still comfortable. I'll take more pics this afternoon.. on an it is a 06.

Where do you have those amps mounted?
The zapco looks like its underneath the rear seat.

I think its on the back of the seat. The pic shows it folded down. Really nice setup!! I wish I could have fit w6's in my kingcab...

How did you hook everything up to the factory rf head unit? or did you splice into the factory sub wiring somehow?

Your right that is the back of the seat...

maxima619 did you have to mount a board under the uphostry to screw that too? what is it mounted too?

maxima619 · 07-25-2006, 01:59 PM

I mounted both amps on the bach of the seat... I used two small pieces of 2"x4" 's. I mounted the 2"x4" under the uphostry, and it hold pretty solid. I hooked everything using the this diagram:

PuvMan · 07-28-2006, 12:04 PM

so you tapped your LOC into the RF head unit and completely eliminated the RF amp?? Then went from the LOC to the matrix, and then from the matrix to the amps???

I may end up going this route... right now i am just installing an LOC at the stock subwoofer leads, and then I'm sure i'll end up changing the components as well, at which point I will probably use this method, so long as you say you're happy with the output.

Thanks!

i love this set up. what do you mean by push the seat a little harder. i have a 04 and the bottom seat doesnt lock just lays down. is the rear seats even or is the front lifted up. thanks for the input great set up.

I'm going to have to guess that it would not

But that is bad *** you fit 2 W6 10" in there! Now all you need is an amp to properly power them... 375 watts each is a bit underpowered.

If the answer is yes, however I would buy that box right now!

I bought a new 06 with the Rockford Fosgate system & it hits HARD! I didn't know factory was this good. I love it!!
