Myself & my 95 Civic. PG ZX, ZPA & more
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 2:35 am
Hello,
First of all a small presentation of mine. My name's Jerome, i'm 25 years old, and come from east of France, near germany. I'm actually in PA audio & lighting (using lots of D&B audiotechnik, Adamson and L acoustics gear), but i started years ago in car audio wirh friends cars. I've already seen lots of nicegear, and that's why, in 2003, i made my first own install. I haven't fotos of it snce a hdd crash, but it was a "easy" high level output install in a 89 VW Golf, made out an Alpine 9812rb HU, a Focal 165K2P front comp running through a PG ZX450 (yes yes my first PG stuff), and in the back a 18" Jet from Oxygen drived by the Soundstream Tarantula monoblock.
I was a bit "retired" since 2005, but i wanted to put everything back in my actual 95 Civic. But first a sold my Alpine HU for an Eclipse 8445, the big 18" for 2 12" from PG audio (no it is not phoenix gold, but pro german audio). in a first time i let the amps in my room, and i put some sh***y stuff : shark coax ($20 new), on a small magnat amp, and a small branson class d amp on the subs. was awful. second stage is what i have now, and for short time since i will rebuild everything in a few weeks. I remade doors panels to fit the Focal 165K2P in, and thrown the magnat away for the good old ZX450 bridged.
Next step is on his way, and will be :
Eclipse 8445 HU
Alto Mobile UCS Pro processor 6x out
2x PG ZX450
PG ZPA 0.5
Audiocontrol Overdrive
Caliber CQX3
Focal 165 KRX3 3 way comp (woofers on a bridged ZX450, active filtering, and modded cross over for biamping meds and tweeters on the second ZX450)
1x PG Audio SPL Line 12" 2x2ohm on the ZPA.
Zaelum ZSB2400 Battery (= Northstar nsb75)
First i will replace all caps in amps. Pictures will come very soon, as soon as i will start working on it.
My biggest "problem" right now is that my ZPA in in mint condition, and black, one of the ZX is in good condition and white, and the second was resprayed (and not well) grey, and the plexi's are missing. I think i will respray all 3 in the same colour, or only the both ZX in black? I don't really know right now.
And btw, if any of yours have interest on it i will sell my tarantula monoblock, the 2 branson x400 400w class d, the small magnat amp, another 4ch magnat amp, the crossovers and tweeter from my Focal K2P kit. but i don't think it is really interesting to ship this overseas...
