hi guys well after owning my omega for about 8 months now im finally starting to build my system up in my CD estate

now i know a lot of you will be saying why? well let explain a bit about me im a car audio enthusiast i love music and very passionate about it i do a little bit of mixing here and there.

there are three types of car sound system SQ SQL and SPL

SQ is were you are trying to replicate how the music was produced in the studio and to achieve a flat frequency responce

SQL this is my sort of system it has a little bit of sound quality but thats not the main focus its the L part which stands for Loud :d this sort of system is the ones that have the gut wrenching bass 

SPL this systems are often modified beyond road use were talking bullet proof glass miles of cables concrete steel are all part of construction the main focus on this sort of system is to score the highest decibel reading possible this is done at the cars peak frequency and generally wouldn't play music 

there's a little basics for you

so what do i have in store for this poor omega

well the aim of this car is be able to play most music at an obscene level across a wide range of frequency's and still be drivable.

heres the kit list

heres a few sample pics of the kit 
Front amps

and the subs



the back of the car has been emptied this week end i shal be removing all the interior and the trims to start building





 

thanks penfold this the biggest build i am going to be doing so far 

this weekend mission is to get the roof built on the wall enclosure

all the subs are going in to a twin diamond enclosure behind the front seats

it makes a change to the normal stuff you see in the back of an omega

i can hear you now i think 

it was about the biggest estate you can get for my budget the only other contender was a e34 touring the omega has about 20 cuft more room

thanks i will keep this thread as it unfolds up to date

if any one would like the interior its the light grey cloth i will have roof liner and rear benchs and all other trims behind the B piller up for grabs

what.the.f*&%!

Imagine this be hind the front seats

what would you use as a power supply....... the national grid. The wife and kids go mad when i turn up ac/dc on my poxy stereo they'd have something to say about the volume yours can achieve

Ahh excellent how many screens you have lol  the front on is my main concern withe 2tunnels playing it gonna be like a massive piston of air pushing it

Hi Lozzys, nice i like that can i be the first one to sit in the car to test the sound
Kack

cheers guys should be fairly loud i hope and on the other side of wild

it should be all over the place next year for the shows

Hi it takes a lot to impress as i have sat in my friend's fiesta van with rockford fosgate running three 15's and then mtx gear, and last time i got to experience the jack hammer in the mk3 golf, took the wipers off and horn button out of the steering wheel and lights from the roof, and my hair everywhere, it was very loud so i am looking forward to hearing this in its full glory and ground pounding bass, thanks kack

cheers BB i know these 2 ian with the mark 3 golf and a guy called ice age with the van of rocky stuff a guy called dan brought my amps off me for a red caddy van he had

with this i hope to be wiring up all the kit by November December time

Did you see the subwoofer test on Mythbusters?

167dB @ 16Hz

Yup, you did read that right - they stopped the test at that point after the sunroof was blown out of the car (300 Merc).

well heres a update from today had ben my friend from autoglass come over and he took the sunroof out and bonded it in to the car so it wont flex and rattle under extreme pressures that it will be put under

Another great thread, very interesting indeed

So here is the latest up date for my build we are half way done the roof the way I have done it is a long process !




I also cut the sunroof runners Down so I can build all the way up to it  alway were eye protection when grinding I've just washed out of my eye a spec of dust



that's all for now :d

ive estimated about 500 to 700 kilos at the most im glad i didnt get the 2.0 but really wanted a td

Be careful with the rear right quarter ..  the cabin vent outlets are there ... block them up and you'll steam up like crazy in the winter !!


Assuming the vents are in the same place in an Estate as they are in a saloon ....

I was assuming the car might be driven from A to B with the sound system in the O F F position ... as I doubt it could be turned down to "protect your ears" levels !!!

OMFG thats is just blanking crazy

i have no room in my house for this one of my dream is to have an industrial unit with my own custom rig when i can sit and listen to it

i do get this question quite a lot this is mainly for my own enjoyment i have a varied taste in music mostly drum and bass its the bass part that ticks my boxes when listening to music

the omega is the best car up to the job

the car is also usied in the 3 competition formats which are run in the uk

http://www.dbdragracing.com/ and bass race

and proppa droppers

http://www.streetbassers.co.uk/

they record the maximum SPL thats achieved by my cars aim is for a 155DB peak and a average SPL of 150+

heres a few videos its like drag racing but for audio

its a hard one to explain why

damaging your hearing is quite serious we do practice safe sound

a night club will damage your ears quicker than what these cars can do its a different attenuation eg 110db of high frequency's will damage your ears quicker than a 130db of bass

they could well be the sound is properly being absorbed by the crowd what setup you have ?

any updates / pics?

????
Confused.

Mmm. suggestions?

Got a good setup size wise for an audience of 200-300, don't do much more than that unless it's a large wedding or nightclub party sort of gig.

Have done a 700+, but hired in a PA from a local supplier to save on the transport costs as on a cruise ship, brilliant sound but over £10k if I had to buy it..........

Any suggestions welcomed.

Could this be classed as a Fetish?

Something I dont 'get',this need to fill a car with gazillions of speakers--does your other half nag you or something ?
