My first install [with oldschool PG]

DDS · Post by **DDS** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 9:42 am

Hi guys!

I haven't posted any topic on the phorum since I posted a story about having a wonderful oldschool MS2125, carefully restored by Nico Boom. Nico and some other guys asked me to share my installation with all phorum members. Finally, I am posting some pics of my install.
This is my first install, completely made by myself. Still I have a lot of work to do, removing midbass speakers out of the door facings, mounting tweeters on rigid supports, changing a subwoofer for a better one, and so on.
This is all I have now in my car - HU Eclipse 8053, midbass AD MM6, tweeters AD MM1, PG MS2125 (for midbass), Sinfoni 90.2 (for tweeters) and AudioArt amplifier for a box AudioArt subwoofer.
And here are some pics.

PS Nico, thank you again for your outstanding MS amp!

One week ago I tried to play it in a full range... wow, it plays so powerful and natural, building every piece of a sound stage, placing every sound directly on its place. I don't know what to say... this is very impressive amplifier, a piece of engineering art... I am very happy to own it!

Whoahhh! Those riveted screws and threaded speaker plates are a VERY nice touch! And that is some serious sound deadener overkill

Excellent work on the wires as well! Very professional!

I am extremely excited with this project!!

And what blocks are you talking about? I didn't understand.

It is very nice, seems like you had everything well thought out

Personally if I was going to secure the panels, I would have siliconed it or used a pop rivet gun and a gasket material, or both.

I used 8-mm thick soft and porous sound insulating material as a gasket for the door panel plates.

Just looked at all the pics; DAMN Dmitry, WHY are you so far away?
You could have done my car for me; you seem to have more patience with wiring than I have!

Very nice quality work there; I'm impressed.

Will answer your PM shortly, and I'm happy that you're still so enthousiastic about your B-BOARD MS2125.
