A little audio upgrade
Posted: 21 Feb 2019 12:45
So over the past few days i've been busy on and off removing the interior of my 3.0 Di. Unfortunately I have a rather painful shoulder injury, so I work as and when I can, while still trying to run a backup power business during these trying load shedding times.
Equipment to be installed (all already purchased):
Head Unit: Pioneer AVH-2050BT, with a reverse camera
Front stage: Alpine Type R 6.5" splits, but using Pioneer S-350 tweeters
Rear: MTX 6.5" Mids
Subs: 2 x Rockford Fosgate 10" P1 Subwoofers
Amplifier for door speakers: SPL Dynamics 150.4.
Amplifier for subwoofers: Alpine MRX-110 monoblock
20 sheets of Dr Artax Gold CLD
6 sqm of 6mm closed cell foam
6 sqm of 8mm closed cell foam
It's a serious hodge podge of equipment, i'm usually pretty anal about all my equipment being the same, but I don't really care at this stage of my life and don't want to spend more money.
So far I've lined wherever i can in the roof with the Dr Artax, and on top of this with 8mm closed cell foam. I purchased this from Sondor, and applied it using Contact adhesive. I then lined the entire roof lining with the 6mm closed cell foam. This one has an adhesive backing, i imported it from China. Didn't take pictures of this, but i'm sure it'll help keep the sound in rather nicely, just the sunroof will be a weak point.
Today's job is removing the seats and carpeting. I'll be needing to fix the aircon leak before i give the entire floor area a good scrub before treating it to some deadening too.
