Anyone with a real stereo yet?

[fhpchris]

Am I the first one to ruin it? I know there are some haters out there. These are so cheap right now that I could buy a 2nd one to track.

I am not selling mine. It has A/C already, that makes it almost a Cadillac anyway....



Everything except the JL 12w6 is going in.




Focal KRX2s active on 2 JL 300/2s
Audison Bit One
FI BTL N2 (Neo Magnet, 2 ohm coils) on ~2000-2400 watts?
2 Digital Designs M1d. One per coil linked.
80 lbs of Second Skin Damplifier and Damplifier Pro

Discuss.

Cool project! I think some might have put the MyLink setup in their cars. For good sound in mine I roll the windows down and run open headers

[URBAN LEGEND]

You'll need the Dynamat for sure. It's loud in here.

Very impressed with this set up
2x 6/9
2 door speakers
Phoenix gold elite amp
Even wife is impressed!

Take an 80k camaro designed for track duty and weight reduction from GM and add weight. .......

Looks like a killer set up though.

Hay now, if you remove more then you add, your good, LOL

[SnowyCamaro]

That will be nice. I have focals in my zl1 and love them. You're running a fair bit more power than me though

[Supercup]

Looks like a fun project - if that makes your car more enjoyable for you - good news. Great looking set up for sure - but adding dynamat to quiet some of the outside noise is a must for good audio.

Alternate is "joint" audio - good stereo with good car noises in concert with one another!

Have fun with the project.

sure the haters are going to come out, let them. Your car, your ears.. I prefer the sound of the LS7 myself (haven't turned the radio on). If I want to play music, I take a different car.

I understand how you feel, but I bet this will still weigh less than a ZL1 stock-for stock. My track friends joke that my car sees more racing than theirs do anyway. I have seen a huge install in an NSX that was primarily Focal stuff and everyone didn't get too angry... The NSX is also a much lighter car than the 5th gen is. I do not think adding 150-200 lbs overall is going to drastically change the car. I have lost 60 lbs myself and there is more weight to take out in the clutch and exhaust.

I am more interested in some standing 1/2 mile or standing mile events. I think it could be cool to just compete with the 175-185 mph guys. My dad just bought a C7 Z06 and it is a faster/better track car than this will ever be. The 6th gen Z/28 or ZL1 will be faster than this one too, but this one is just a really special car. We are trying to minimize the weight that we add, but there is no way around the sound damping material. It will end up as a much better end result (stereo and street-car wise) with a good install. We got a bunch of stuff done today so far.

Work in progress...We are going to pull most of the interior apart and do the floor and roof and back seat area too... I will try to take a ton more pictures to document everything.







These are just a few pictures along the way, still a work in progress. It made a huge difference already. We didn't use much material and it is really solid feeling now. ( less like an empty tin can )

Awesome setup. What was your total cost? Can you post a video or YouTube the results?

[Hunt-man]

I'm really curious how the sound deadening changes the car. Not a big fan of sand and rocks hitting the underside of the car sounds.

Is there any less engine noise?

No worries. I enjoy my radio w/ 12" sub aftermarket added as well when I leave the track.
