Mazda BT-50 build. JBL, Hybrid audio, Image dynamics, Powerbass, XS power, Digital Designs

Postby nervewrecker » July 28th, 2018, 11:52 am

So I picked up a new truck. Needed something to tote cement, bricks etc as I have some land working on. Went with my 4x2 and got stuck because uts low and there is a lot of wet grass. So this will have to do the work.

Got this one from dumore, they have a few more in case anyone looking for an affordable ride. The guys that hooked me up are tuners so in case anyone may be looking, here might be a good place to start..

Without further ado, the line up:

- Pioneer 80prs, head unit

- JBL msa 5001 for bass

- Powerbass asa 400.4 for mids and high

- JBL c608 gti mkii for midbass (or maybe exodus anarchy)

- Hybrid audio L1V1 or L1V2 for high (I have both, havent decided on which I will use as yet

- Image Dynamics CTX-108 for bass, 3 10"

Unto the building.

Quick mock up of placement for the JBL amplifier under the passenger seat.ImageImageImageImageImage

Dash kit and harness ImageImageImage

Sound dampening, 6 sheets

Image

Subwoofers

ImageImageImage

Head unit

Image

Mids amp next to bass amp with pioneer remote for reference on size.
Image

JBL mid next to an exodus anarchy.
Yes, you read right, 150rms, 600 watts peak.
Makes the monstrus Anarchy look like a dwarf in front it...
ImageImageImageImage

Hybrid audio L1V1

Got started on a door today.
Scrap out, clean out, wipe down with rubbing alcohol and start applying. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Got to get some plastic sheets, saw ramkal in penal have some. They will cover these gaping holes nicely. And then, more material!

ImageImage

So far, 1 and about 3/4 sheets used. Yes, thats fiberglass there. Started on a plate under the seat to bolt the amp to.

Got started on the left door today.
Wash down, cleaned, rubbed down with rubbing alco, dried and start to lay material.ImageImageImage

Might as well ask before I start..
The powerbass will feed 50 x 4 at 4 ohms to the speakers.
Bridged I will get a decent 200 watts which is some decent headroom on the jbl.
I will need a small amplifier for the tweeters. Used to see some old school amps advertising that did like 50 x 2 and 30 x 2. Does anyone have one of these stashed anywhere? Smaller is better in this instance. Or any micro 2 channel? Crossovers are not important in this instance.

Data sucks on work..
There is a vid I posted in a thread wrt the same DD sound dampening material in here.
Basically these thin sheet metal doors are hollow and can have a lot of vibration. I was knocking all the panels with a knuckle making a hollow sound and then the front doors. Doors dead and solid. Can hit it a decent cuff and it will actually flex.

Edit

Here it is:

Didnt drill it.
The mat is thick, so that ought to keep it in place. Its just a substrate to hold unto.
