Phoenix Gold Phorum

Some time ago a friend of mine named Thomas bought 3 MS2125´s from Nico. This weekend we worked on his car. It was great fun as i didn´t work on things like that for almost 5 years.

Things he will have in his car:

3 MS2125´s
2 Xmax12´s
2 Zero Point 160 mids
2 Zero Point 100´s
2 Zero Point tweets
AX 406a

thats going to be a pricy buick when done!!!

I'm very keen to watch this build unfold; as I have the same speakers and subs ... just double the amps

Im starting to like those MS's more and more each time I see them.

BEWARE..... or you'll end up like me.

Joerg; nice to see those amps will rock again, I'm only not a big fan of mounting amps on a enclosure...
I've seen too many amps mounted like that, killed by vibrations I guess.
I hope Thomas and you will secure that enclosure to the car btw; GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN installing!
Will be watching this......

Don´t worry Nico! The amps are not mounted on the enclosure. They have their own rack to go on. And all the stuff will be made safe for sure! We have to pass thru a traffic safety test with this system after it is done! A guy from our local DMV will have a look at the system if it´s street legal.

Well here are some more pic´s of the install. We finished the doors today.

My kind of install! More pixies please, more! M O R E ! ! !

God I love those 2125's, I even cried a little when Nico briefly mentioned me he sold those puppies not long before I showed up there...

In hindsight though, it's prolly for the best, I'm poor as it is at the moment anyway, and by the looks of it they got a really good new home.

So grats on them amps, and enjoy when the build is done

I so do not like seeing duct tape directly on those amps.

Today we worked on my friends car as well. We finished the subwoofer enclosures, wired all the amps and turned them on for the first time!

nice job, who welded the rack for ya? I wish I had a welder and some skill to use it....

Thomas did the rack on his own! Funny tough he´s working in a bakery for living he has a lot of other skills too!

Joerg are those the xmax's you bought from me?

the last pic where you can see the subs, that top of it looks like its made out of chip-board? please tell me that isn't the case and its just the pic/screen/my dumb eyes.....

Just the outher layer is chipboard. On the inside we used 22mm MDF. Sorry but don´t know the english word for it!

MDF

medium density fiberboard

Same thing its called here

that chipboard expands and then turns to dust when it gets wet. Be sure to coat it with some fg resin top and bottom and you should be ok but I would probably just copy those pieces to mdf myself
