Being the kinda guy that likes to build things I figured I'd have my go at building a custom stereo set-up
Here's where Im at so far:
This is my 1st time working with fiber glass.
It looks alot more ruff than it is (he white area's is where high spots have been sanded down). I made the mold using cardboard so the whole thing is much lighter than it would be using wood. So far I've got one full layer of fiber glass, and 2-3 layers in areas where the speakers will be mounted. The back of the Roll Bar fits into a grove at the top of the box (its used to secure the box into the cage. it fits very snug!). I think I'll do 1 more layer (or atleast do a little touch-up with the fiber glass in a few area's) and then I'll use body filler to get it all smoothed out.
The box will house two 5.25" speakers on each side of the seats, a single 6x9 5-way in between the seats, and a 8" subwoofer in between the seats above the 6x9. I found the perfect amp (kinda pricy but well worth it for this application). Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4 ~ For its size nothing even comes close! The particular amp I have was tested at 86-Watts RMS @ 4-ohms with 14.4 Volts. Thats some serious power for such a little amp! The whole system will be sealed up (I'll have an access door in the rear) with only Power cord & Input line exiting the box.
If the box works well I should have a kick'N little set-up that won't take-up any usable space!
My main question now is system power.
I've heard the Teryx4 puts out more power than the T2 does. The amp Im using supposedly doesnt use as much power as a traditional amp, but im not so sure about that (havent tested it yet). The last thing I want to happen is be out somewhere and not be able to start my Teryx because I've drained the battery.
I want to also install a set of Rigid Dually's, but other than the Amp for the stereo (and having my iPhone plugged-in) thats all I plan to be using.
You think I'll need more battery power???
Any thoughts &/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
