My system, Phoenix Gold obviously

Post by Simao »

Here I am to present my humble system...! It's installed in an old Renault Megane..!



.. this was the beginning, when I had 2 PG (m25 and ms275) and a Zapco Z100 @ 2 ohm for the sub...

Nice install!

Two suggestions...
1) the capacitors on the old amplifiers are known to leak and short out. Your ZPA, MS and M amp are all at risk! Please replace at least the power supply input capacitors as soon as possible.

2) it looks like your speaker is mounted to the door panel. I guarantee you will get better sound if the speaker is mounted to the door itself. That way it uses the door as an enclosure, which captures the sound waves that radiate off the back of the speaker.

I love seeing three generations of PG in one install. Super cool.

yes Sir! :) i'm gonna do it on next month... as soon as possible! :D
the woofer is installed in the door panel, but the door panel is very very anchored to the door itself!! i know that how do you say it's better.... but i cannot do it in this period.. :|
