I love it when a plan comes together! Everything went well and is semi tuned... The Kenwood X-993 is just so adjustable, it might take a while to set everything the way I want it. I love the HD radio!!! Way better than normal FM.
The sub. although still stiff from the rebuild, is still enough to pound the chest a little. Once it gets loose I will torture it properly... Granted on a d2d I usually set it pretty flat.
The MB Quart tweets were of course sonic loud excellence. The Alpine Type X mids I think are keeping up, but I might play with the x-over to see if it can sound better.
The ZX450 and ZX500 with the new caps sounded wonderful and barely broke a sweat! I set the gains half way just as a starting point. No (audible) distortion at 3/4 volume... Which is pretty damn loud.
I started sampling with the HD tuner on the local classical station, very nice but not challenging for the system. Switched to the Focal demo disc #1 for some great tunes. Really showed the detail with the MBQ tweets and a nice kick from the mids and sub. Then moved on to a "house" mix which I hoped would give the ZX amps a workout... Very loud and crisp, but not a challenge for the amps (barely warm). Good punch in the chest subwoofer level as well. More testing to come.
No dimming lights
Gotta love a stock HO alternator. Still a couple items to fix on the Burb and then I can turn it into a commuter beast. Wiper relay (common failure on C/K trucks ) and a sticking rear parking brake.
Pictures to come, it was just too dark to take any tonight.
