I Have given the Ute a small stereo upgrade since my last post,
This has consisted of, 2x Focal Bus 20 subs under the front seats, Focal 165 splits in the front doors with tweeters mounted in the a pillars, and a pair of focal 165 coaxials in the back doors, and an alpine 4 channel amp to run the front and rear fill.
I have also installed a bigger Distribution block thank i needed and also added extra earths in to the seat belt lug for future requirements (2000w pure sine wave inverter) as can be seen by the power cable that runs out the back of the cab and in to the tray.
I created an independent trigger circuit via a relay in the engine bay which is triggered by the back of the Aux socket
I would also like to note there is also constant 12v power on an Anderson plug in the tray and to further that now near the amp is another relay which charges the Battery in my tool box (for radio, lights and alarm system) which is also on an Anderson plug
I used the sticky thread in the electrical section to patch in to the head unit wiring and left all original plugs in place.
How does it sound... Having tweeters in the a pillar has dramatically improved the sound stage and imaging. Having the 2 8" subs under the seats is interesting, im more use to having 2x12's pounding my chest from a seat depth away.
Back to the story, They work a treat, the little subs sound really clear and put out quite a lot of bass, and bands like the cat empire really shine on these subs.
I Dropped in to thank the boys at freeway car audio where i get my audio gear from on their efforts and got told that they have a great head unit upgrade for the lux that was in their demo board..... this story can end here for tonight but i think i will be calling up for the head unit tomorrow to gain that extra bit of quality and features
Started looking in to new breaks today... the price of them is scary... more research to be done i think.
its good to see you are getting the lux nice and dirty
