I have slowly been building a sound system piece by piece for my truck since June 2022 and would like to share. I'd love to hear if anyone else is into car audio or any other field of audio?
My current setup is two 30 watt 3" mids(the stock speakers that came with the truck in 1992 ) high-passed at 1.2khz for highs, two 60 watt 6" mids from an LG HiFi band-passed at 120hz - 5khz for some mid range as well as some mid-highs on a cheap 50 watt x 4 channel amp, and two AF122D2 1250 watt subs - each sub wired to 1 ohm being powered by their own NKSD800.1 amp, maxing out on the clamp at ~600 watts each after box rise. The subs are in individual sealed 0.8 cubic ft/ 22.6 liter boxes. Under the hood I have a 102ah deep cycle AGM(previously used for a yacht's inverter lmao), upgraded wiring and the stock alternator out of a 2023 Isuzu Dmax, since my 30 year old alt finally died in 2021. At least the newer alternator has a higher voltage than the old one. Everything including the wiring is hidden so you can't even tell there is any sound equipment in the truck apart from the two 6" mids that look like crappy old no-name speakers.
On the current sealed setup and tuning I can easily hit 25hz without clipping, but my subsonic is set pretty high because turns out subs in sealed boxes don't like lows at max power. I have been metered at 45hz and scored an atrocious 129.9dB lmao
My plan is to build a huge 4th (or maybe 6th, but idk how to design or tune those yet) order blow-through box that takes up the entirety of the bed for six 12" subs(not sure which subs yet) with two Digital Designs M8000 amps. Haven't started on the build yet as each individual component is expensive as hell, and I want to fix up the car a bit before spending money on that kind of stuff. I don't really plan on building it purely for numbers or trophies, I just really like bass and loud music. Maybe one day when I'm deaf I can still listen to my music if I ever get to finish this build.
The video contains a LOT of very loud clipping audio since I used my phone to record, but if you're into this kind of stuff and watch demo videos you'll probably get an idea of what it's like. I can assure you the audio reproduction quality is pretty good and the lows are clean and the mids and highs are crystal clear. I'm full of **** about that kind of stuff.
(Also Youtube blocked the video for Russia due to the audio, sorry)
