Phoenix Gold Phorum

My install is nowhere near as elaborate as most on here, and isn't as Phoenix Goldy as my old Dodge Colt back in college , but I wanted to share it anyway since I have finally gotten back to a decent setup.

I have been going very stealth on my install, but it sounds excellent, is secure, looks clean, and doesn't take away much of my usable storage in the car.

I have had a 2009 Wrx and 2011 Wrx, but just like a lot of other Subie enthusiasts, I always kind of wanted an Sti so I was hesitant to do anything very involved with my system in the WRX's because when I could work an Sti into my budget, I knew I would upgrade. Finally got into an Sti this past December.



INA-W910 for the source.



Already had Audio Integrations single 10" FG enclosure from the WRX's so I am currently still using it in the Sti with an RSDc102 powered by an HD1200/1 set to about 3/4 of the output it has to offer. I also have an Audiocontrol Overdrive Plus on the sub amp. That is currently hidden in the glove box.




Just sound deadened the doors a few weeks ago. The outer door skin is about 75% covered with Dynamat, and the inner door skin is 95% or so covered with Dynamat, I used aluminum mesh over the large holes of the inner skin and Dynamatted over them. I used Ensolite IOU peel and stick over the Dynamat on the inner door skin, but I neglected to use any Dynamat or Ensolite on the Door Card so I do hear the tiniest rattle with certain bass heavy songs that I need to fix soon. It shouldn't take long to get the door cards off again and hit them with some material. I am using RSD65cs components in the stock locations. When everything is buttoned up, I have the stock tweeter sail panel installed. The RSD tweets were a little bulky for the sail panels but I made it work pretty well with the ol' Dremel.



The components are being powered by 2 channels of an HD600/4. I have them high passed at 50Hz and I am using the RSD passive crossovers...again hidden.




I will probably try to hide the little bit of wire you can see under the amps more, but I need to pick up some wire loom first.

Overall, I am pumped to be back into Car Audio, and already have a simple enclosure for a Ti Elite almost done which I will post later, and a second RSDc102 to add to my existing one if I need more than 12" of bass down the road or just want to change it up!

I also have my wife nearly sold on a simple install of my RSD12 and RSD500.4 in her Mazda 3 .

nice and clean

Very clean. This gives me some good ideas about my honda install

Changed it up a while back since I wanted another 10 to combat the Subie exhaust note. As much as I love that exhaust note, I still want to hear the bass over the exhaust,this setup enabled that and allowed me to preserve a decent amount of trunk floor space. I stacked the JL amps when I tucked the dual enclosure. It came out ok, but nothing beats the cleanliness of the Audio Integrations enclosure in the corner.

I may need to experiment with some different 10s when I raise the cash since I would rather have that single 10 back in the corner. If you know of any single 10s that might have greater output at 1000-1200 watts than a single Rsdc, PM me some brands and models, I have been out of the sub game for a long time.

I still prefer the sound of the Ti12D Elite over the 2 10s, but the enclosure I built for the Elite was way too intrusive so I think I am going to carpet it in Subie colors, and maybe throw it in a few weeks at a time in the warmer months for a little pop at the meets and shows.

Digital Designs makes nice 10" that will take that power. As

Image Dynamics IDMAX is insane as well as tight and clean ...have been running a single 10D4v3 off the sub channel on my Elite.5 and is just ...just ...incredible output for a single 10 (1000wrms, 1800 musical / peak).

Thanks guys, I will check out the specs on both of those.
