Title: Finally finished upgrading the stereo
Post by: Stu C on 13 August 2014, 20:56:05

Been a long time doing this with many different components being put in and taken out to get a good SQ system but keeping the original head unit and the boot usable as its the everyday family car.

I know its no show piece but it does sound really quite nice now. bar the odd rattle at certain frequencies that I just cant seem to stop without taking drastic measures.

Kit comprises of:

Sound deadening in doors parcel shelf and boot

0 AWG and 4 AWG power cabling

Audiocontrol LC7 to enable me to keep head unit but still run RCA's to amp

Front and rear Genesis A16 Audiophile components. (had to make adapters to get them in front doors)

Genesis quad mono amp running components

2 X Soundstream rubicon SQ 10" subs

Genesis monoblock running subs

Lightning audio capacitor just to help smooth power a bit.

All wired with QED silver anniversary speaker cable.

Thanks Guys

Capacitors do nothing is not 100% true. If it where the case the amps themselves would not need them internaly on the power circuit. granted they make no obvious improvement in audio quality but its a good alternative to having a second battery in the boot to stop the current drain from stressing the battery at the front. They also help to reduce interferance in the power too :)
