What to use for new install.
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:36 pm
So, I have pulled the install from my old '96 Nissan truck and am looking at what will probably be my last (I'm getting to old for this shit) custom install. What I am dealing with is a old '94 Ford Ranger XLT w/ a 4.0ohv engine. Below is a list of what I have to work with. Some of it is a given that I will use but other than that, what do YOU think I should use for a new system.
Given equipment -
2 ea. ~ Orion XTR10 sub
1 pr. ~ SoundStream SPL50 mid/tweet set
KLW Cathedral Enhance
Everything else -
Audio Control 2XS (xover)
Kenwood KEC301 (xover)
Orion 420GT (4ch. amp - 20w/ch w/ xover)
Kenwood KAC921 (amp)
Hifonics series VII Cupid (2ch. amp - 22w/ch.)
Hifonics series VII Pluto (2ch. amp - 35w/ch.)
Hifonics series VIII Cyclops (mono amp - 100w/ch.)
Phoenix Gold M25 (2ch. amp - 25w/ch.)
Phoenix Gold M50 (2ch. amp - 50w/ch.)
Everything has been used with the exception of the M25 and the M50. BOTH are brand new. I bought them years ago from a dealer that used them in his display case. The last install I just pulled consisted of the "given" items plus the Orion GT420 and the Hifonics Cyclops amps.
I might even consider selling the NEW M25 & M50 to buy a new 5ch. amp, provided the price was right. BOTH would be in original boxes with original paper work.
Sub enclosure design isn't a problem.
Sooo........ What would YOU do????
