LBM, I would agree with nitrous above. With the weight of the amps, batteries, box and woofers all adding up your Swift's weight distribution will drastically change. If this car is a daily driver you should consider overhauling the suspension to compensate.

LBM,

Earlier you were running similar setup with 17" wheels.
What was the total weight of V1.0 ?

I have modded the rear springs. I went to some shop who deals in repair of shocks and I have put two springs in the back. It is not the final mod will have to check the operation of the same with all the equipment in the ride. One more thing this not a daily drive car, It is just a show-off car !!!!

Will surely update the thread with the final outcome !!!

How is the rear view vision being planned due to the wall?

Final weight would be in range of 450 kgs !!!

Rear camera will be installed !!!

I have used SMD subs because I had them. And they are not at all SPL subs they are daily driving subs. No other electrical equipment is affected as the voltage is still in the permissible limtis

Ya they were 17' wheels. This time I got the 16 inch wheels due to budget constraints but will be upgrading soon !!! And I did not weighted the earlier ride !!!

Look who's talking..

Anyways, congrats to your GP V2.0. How do you wish to plan the front? FG enclosure? What is the list of the other equipment i.e. Front Speakers etc.?

[iceman7]

LBM - you are INSANE!! What a install Mindblowing...er...ground blowing actually.

Someone please inform the geological department when this is fired up. It's not an earthquake you will feel but LBM's ride.

Glued to this thread to see the final outcome

Yet not decided !!!

But will FG the doors at a later stage. First priority is to finish what is in hand !!!!

Good lord LBM, this is crazy.... but AWESOME

One question (pardon my ignorance): It seems you're using MDF everywhere. Howcome MDF is used for most of these ICE installs rather than (stronger) plywood?

here's a reply I dug up from navin

Personally, I was under the impression that MDF was acoustically more inert than ply - in terms of damping out resonances. A simplistic explanation I read was that MDF was more homogenous than ply.

LBM, though that's an old thread, I'm curious why you used MDF (instead of Al you preferred then)

Exactly, ply is stronger but it MUST be void free. Ply also gives a nicer surface than MDF to veneer (good for home audio).

I used a brand of ply called Truwood. It is 100% gurjan ply.

In addition my current floor standing speakers have a 3mm sheet of lead sandwiched between the layers of ply, MDF and FRP. The speakers are based on Rick Craig's Tempesta Extreme.

However for car audio installs MDF and FRP make more sense since ply tends to "open up" over time due to heat and humidity.

Wow oh Wow!!! This is insanely insane. With such a humongous setup, it sure is going to blast of the glasses, windscreen included. Since you mentioned its a show car, i wont ask you further on the driveability etc. Way to go man.

Guess who's back!
Will be watching this thread. BTW, in one of the photos of your friends helping you:- One of them was holding the sub is a scary manner.

The equipment going in the ride !!!

• Processor -> Alpine PXA - H 701 With controller
• Amp for High +mids -> Rockford Fosgate T600.4 x 2 nos
• Amp for Subs -> Rockford Fosgate T2500.1 x 4 nos
• Highs -> Rockford Fosgate PP4-T Punch Pro 1.5" 4-Ohm Tweeter x 4 nos
• Mids -> Rockford Fosgate PPS4-6 Punch Pro 6" 4-Ohm Midrange x 6 nos
• Subs -> SMD 18 inches #59 and #60
• Alternator -> Mechman 220 amps
• Batteries -> Northstar NSB 170 (about 600 ah combined )

Sorry about the noob question (since we never had a chance to interact with each other before), but you have mentioned that this will be a show-off car, may I ask, do you own an audio equipment showroom or are you a dealer in car audio equipment (so you need to show the setup to customers)?

No I am not a dealer or own a showroom. I am just a enthusiast like may other !!!

Saying it a showcar is a little incorrect I would say fun car. It is like starting the LOW BASS culture here in India and take the game to next level !!!

Lbm sir waiting eagerly for your ground pounder to be fired up, need to feel the bass from smd's in real. Seriously you are on a roll this time and best thing about your install is DIY. Hats off to you sir, you rock.
