Pioneer - P7700MP


Bazooka Single channel (sub) and Sony 4-channel (front and rear)


MTX - MXS1004 10"


MTX - TX6001R Component System




I also have kenwood 4-way 6x9s in the rear deck but that would have been a pointless picture. There are crossovers mounted inside the door panels for the components. And that bazooka amp has the available watercooling kit, which i have, just dont have a place to install it yet.

NoleafClover

nice setup...diggin the mtx....not a fan of sony however...but whatever..looks like u did a good job

xspyder85x

yeah i didnt want to go with the sony amp but it fit the budget for the power

PatDamanCobalt

HEHE of everything in ur setup, i used to own the same bazooka amp i got off ebay for 50 bucks, and i used to have two of those MTX subs, they pounded. Anyways nice set up. Cant go wrong with that if ur on a budget

xspyder85x

yeah i really like those subs, im not looking for massive bass. i was mor giong for quality.

Do you want a 9500 10" woofer? I have one, I havent used it since I got rid of my civic. Know anybody that's interested if you're not? $150 + shipping.

sethallen

are you still running the stock tweeters?

xspyder85x

no the MTX tweeters are part of the component system.

do you have some noise problems with your setup,I have a big noise problem with my component and even with stinger bullet interconnect.

xspyder85x

i did, do you have metal tipped rca connectors, if you do, then you need to put a few layers of electrical tape over the metal inside your dash. you had to cut the plastic, right, to get the RCAs to fit there is a little metal support behind it that is touching the tips and giving you alternator noise i believe. i just put tape of that and i have no more problems. or you could just get a noise filter, but i dont know if they work well or not.

StinkBOMB

Buying quality amps cuts out on noise too. A good head unit with low THD is a big noise cutter, and using quality RCA's and properly grounding everything should eliminate distortion.

xspyder85x

exactly, i have audiobahn cables and the are great, its just that the metal tip was touching the frame andpicking up crap but its solved

ORT

The noise filter works good. I had one in my old car. Cut out all the whining. I have whining in my car now. All memphis audio....and a pioneer in-dash. my buddy who I get all my audio equipment form says its because of the pioneer unit... I dunno

Nice clean setup by the way. MTX is great...Used to run it in my old car.

StinkBOMB

Do any of you guys know anyone that's looking for a sub for some extreme pounding?

xspyder85x

the wining is from your patch cables touching your frame behind you headunit, pioneer is great.

Same EXACT thing for me. If I didn't have to rip everything apart to run new I'd throw those damn metal headed RCA interconnects in the garbage!!!!!!!! When the deck is in place the metal headed RCAs touch the metal support and you get alternator whine. I insulated them with tape as well and it fixed the problem.

ORT

Yeah i thought the same thing tried some electric tape. Didnt' do anything. Re did my grounds and nothing...re-checked everything and still nothing. Any suggestions?

xspyder85x

might be your amp, i would get a noise filter from walmart and try it, its like $13

Bandit2941

Which grounds did you re-do? Did you run a seperate ground for the head unit? I have my head unit grounded to a bolt under the dash, not running through the factory harness.

Also, I would suggest against using one of those RCA line noise filters. They will cause signal degradation. If anything, use a power line noise filter that will isolate a ground loop. You can get them from crutchfield for like $20 a pop (you'll need 2 - one for the constant and one for the switched power on the deck). I'm thinking that if you make sure your amp grounds are good (like to the bolt that the batter grounds to), the head unit has a good independent ground, and you don't have metal headed RCAs grounding out somewhere, the whine will go away.

stangman35

running your rca cables with a power wire to close can cause noise.Like near the main power wire going to the alternator.Use a good quality RCA cable will result in better sound also.

xspyder85x

this is true, but the power wire doesnt run down the car, it stays in the trunk. the remote wire isnt strong enough to give noise.

Xavipheus

Damm thats alot of power, did you replace the battery or alternator? having any issues with stuff like that?

xspyder85x

nope i didnt need to. i might put in a light capacitor. buti dont have my stereo for massive bass. i dont play it loud.

stangman35

So the battery power gets to the fuse boxes and altenator by magic lol
