I’m taking a 2006 Lexus GX470. In the hatch of a 1995 VW Golf, I once put together a huge box for a Sundown Audio SA-12 with a 1000w rms monoblock. There was no amp for the door speakers in that car, so Pioneer coaxials were used instead.
I can’t wait to hear how this sounds compared to that. If I don’t like the powered pioneers, I won’t use this amp’s fifth channel, which can push 512w rms into 2ohms. I’m going to sq instead of spl, so I think these 10" subs will work well. But I might want to get a little louder later on…
Do you have any project advice? The whole sound chain is here:
fiio btr7 Bluetooth dac, 4.4mm to dual rca adapter for dsp
bert btx8 dsp, rca to 4 channels of stinger amp, and rca to each pioneer 10" powered sub
It can handle 150w/ch @ 2ohm and 75w/ch @ 4ohm. It’s hooked up to speakers in the front door and the second row of door speakers, and the fifth channel isn’t being used right now.
It sounds great in the front doors with 5.25-inch kappa speakers placed on pillars or maybe in the dash.
6x9" Kappa 693m three-way doors in the second row. The perfects are 3.5 ohms and these are 3 ohms. I think the DSP should be able to handle this difference in power received without any problems, or I can change how the amp works.
A second 100ah deep cycle battery will power everything, and a smart isolator will connect it to the main battery and generator (oem only 130a, but that should be fine). The amp, DSP, and both powered subs will all connect to the same ground.
I don’t want to deal with swapping out my navigation system, so I will just connect my BTRS7DAC straight to my DSPSound source. Do not worry about changing the volume without a knob; everything will work out fine.
Can’t wait to hear how this turns out. I’m also going to put some 130mil anti-vibration tape on the doors and back hatch of my 2006 Lexus GX470.
