Going to add another couple of amps to my system to run the fronts.

Need some ideas and pics to get the thought process going.

Cheers

Not seen a decent ice install in a saph for ages, so watching with interest

JasonPD

Was well in to my sounds when younger, looking forward to seeing the pics if there are any..?

I've still got the ford speakers in mine..

Any install needs to be stealth for me, not into seeing loads of amps and subs scattered about the boot.

Could you use the spare wheel well to house the amps?

costina

iTrader: (1)

No might need a spare.

They are old school kenwood amps well from the mid 90's
846 bridged for rears
716 mono for sub
626 bridged lhf
626 bridged rhf

Top 2 are mounted in the larger of the 2 rear seats. Other 2 are too big for the smaller seat.

I used to run a 744/714 with a 453 head unit back in the early 90's in my XR2, I ended up swapping it for an alpine 3 disc head unit with Rockford fosgate amps and jbl speakers. I spent an obscene amount on ICE back in the day but just fell out of love with it and binned it all off for std O/E gear

I still have a nice Alpine head unit & CD unit that I have recently fitted into the Escos, just need an amp to run it, I'm thinking a phoenix gold or something else suitably retro

Ah you be wanting a genesis or a alpine V12.

I will need some plates done soon i will pm ya if that is ok

MONSTER

I had been thinking about a genesis, missed one a month or so ago on the bay.

Yeah just get in touch whenever you want mate

Magnum PI

Is there no room under the front passenger seat & drivers seat for an amp under each seat to power the front speakers?

Other than that......what about a false floor for the boot and mount all the amps to that?.......would leave your wheel well free for your spare & anyone looking in would just see a carpeted floor & everything would be hidden.

Ive just got a amp screwed to the nsr quarter carpet and a fli bass box with a infiniti sub fitted to it.

They go for good money.

Thought about this and it seems to be the better solution.

cossie daz

Have alook on Google , some good installs there .

Haven't seen a Cossie install for many years .
Be good to see

costina

Cannot find any saff related installs on there.

slammedorion

I run a Alpine V12 paving slab plus a Mtx amp...
They power all 4 components in the cabin plus 2x12 inch Vibes...
I've run them since 2001!!!

Yeah baby

fatboy billy

Here's mine

costina

iTrader: (1)

Nice, bet that kicks ass

fatboy billy

Yeah it can really thump have a bass controller hidden under the dash so can be civilised too have jl components up front with tweeters on the a pillars and the jl coaxials on the modified rear shelf so the sound quality is good too shame my daily doesn't have an install like this really lol

ajamesc

Here's my boot install lol 2l swirl pot feeding the main fuel pump that feeds the rail. 044 in that pic but an automotive a1000 is heading in there once rod has removed it from his. And a few pipes to and from the tank/044 lift pump

Now thats a proper boot install...

costina

iTrader: (1)

But if you had a proper tank you would not need the bomb in the boot.

cossynut2

Looks better than a boot full of speakers! For me a Sapphire Cosworth with a massive sound system dont go together but each to their own.

If i had a choice between music and cars i would be stumped.....

furry

my old one, amps where attached to back of seats and the box was clamped to the rear strut bar

costina

iTrader: (1)

Now thats going back some time.

when paul had your car years ago it always sounded decent, even found a pic of your car at my meet back in 08 when he ran the battery flat playing it all afternoon lol

ajamesc

That is very true but to be fair mine was rusty and I do intend to do track days so this set up is suited to that

ive got a load of subs and amps waiting to go in - well i need it out the way in my garage so the most logical place will be the boot of the car - might sound the 3dr out if i can be arsed. Got Audio Bahn subs and amps to run

furry

Yeah sold it in 2004, shame it ended up a burnt out sub 60k shell

fatboy billy

Yeah it still sounds good needed a decent setup when I got it as the settings were all over the place ideal for motorway cruising don't really use it other than that

Sell all the old stuff and buy new amps. Car audio gear is way cheaper than it used to be an the likes of JL do stupidly tiny amps! Much easier to hide than the old brutes lol

costina

iTrader: (1)

I am attached to them Paul mate. I hear what your saying tho.
Need some weight in the back too.

bassboy

Ill be doing our Cossie soon, 1 amp - Gladen Audio RC150c5 5 channel amp, unsure of components yet but will be using either one or two SPL Dynamics 8inch subwoofers. Absolute minimalistic install

STeve

iTrader: (11)

I heard a system in a focus rs the other night and the bass from it was almost painfull, thought to myself what the hell has he got in there, to my utter surprise he has one 15" sub & 2 amps, almost expected the whole car to be full of speakers, modern audio has improoved big time as 10 years ago that would have been 20 speakers and 6 amps to get that sound

costina

iTrader: (1)

I will watch with interest as always

costina

iTrader: (1)

Your not wrong Steve the power you get now is true rms cea certified not some bullshit figure.
I would change amps but they are not bad and i have had them for years and its in keeping with the era of car nearly....

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

You can do the install in my Sierra using the same subs and amps as you did for the E46 as never even used the box you built due to writing the car off lol

costina

iTrader: (1)

Ok anything other than a saff.

Still want ideas.
