The speakers sounded like shit and it was annoying me. So it was time to sus out the stereo. There was amp wiring in the vehicle when I brought it, so I’ve been on and off playing around with my 10’s. I haven’t had them in for ages.
So I got out all my old gear. I started with the speakers, my 6.5" wasn’t going to fit so I started cutting the door with a jigsaw, yeah that wasn’t going to work.
Then I found some speaker spacers from Repco for $8.80 on sale, nice.
Played around with the amp wiring, omg more dodgey shit, not even crimped.
Went though my scraps. Much better.
I didn’t have time to redo all the wiring, so then I wanted the amp mounted under the seat, hidden away. I am still debating whether to drill through the floor to properly mount it.
I had a voltmeter in before so I finally mounted it properly so it doesn’t keep popping out. With some foam tape.
The foam tape also came in handy for the middle air vent which keeps popping out and wont stay. Second one i’ve been through because the little tab keeps breaking off when I fit it.
The door trims keeps getting worst every time I take them off. I really need to get new ones made, and hopefully make the speaker mount a little nicer. One thing I can never do is make something look nice.
Then I had to chose between my 4x 10" box or my twin. I built the sub box for the mirra. It was a nice fit but… My ears weren’t liking it. The voltage wasn’t happy, more weight=more fuel and slower not to mention it was starting to break trims. So the twin box was a no brainer. I built both boxes from scraps aswell hehe. The twin one I’ve had for years. And the subs, Good old Logitech from the z-5500 computer system. I love them!
I didn’t want anything loud like the Pajero I had back in 2016
