SQTOY: Not Quite ToySPEED

[adamkerrnz]

Hey guys. Ive been lurking around for a while. I own a 2003 Echo 1.3. Pretty slow little car (compared to some on here ) but i enjoy it. Fun little thing.

Anyway, since this is the "car Audio" section, i thought i might post up what hides within this little car. My goal since the start of the year has been to achieve the best sound quality i can, on my minimal budget.

So here are some pics, and a few explanations:


^ This is my headunit, a Blaupunkt Seattle MP74. Before this i was running a sony xplod headunit, which was good, but im not so much an xplod fan anymore.


^ Thats just my dashboard, shows how the headunit fits against the dash. This headunit looks alot better with this car than the sony did. and its features are 10x better.


^ My left door. That is a Response Precision 6.5" midwoofer in custom door pods and the crossover that came with it.


^ Tweeter on the door sail


^ The sub setup. A Sony Xplod 2x250w RMS amplifier and a response precision 300w rms DVC subwoofer. the amp runs one voice coil per channel @4ohm. I built the box myself out of 18mm MDF. its approx 35 litres sealed.


^Thats the amp which is running the front speakers. Its a response precision 2x150w RMS.

So yeah, thats my echo

[adamkerrnz]

Headunit came from AtomicAudio in Dunedin. Its an ex-display unit so i got it at half price

How are you running your fronts with 1 channel?
Are those Response components 2ohm stable?

[adamkerrnz]

whatnow?

oops, fixed that now, cheers

and the amp is definitely 2ohm stable. the speakers are not what need to be stable, the amp needs to be able to handle the speakers impendance.
