My Gen 6 Genesis Install Options

[Chiefton]

Hi All, been installing my sound system for a little while so thought id put some pics up fr you lot to see, all ideas and opinions are welcome for improvements and upgrades for the future. Please bear i mind it is still a work in progress, so no funny comments like, "Why dont you actually install that speaker?", simple answer is cos i havnt had the bloody time! The set up is as follow, i have two custom made amps by Genesis, a highly renowned English manufacturer. One Has three Dualmono amps in one case, this runs my MB Quart QSD Actively (thats one amp for the tweet, one for the mid, and one for the bass driver), then my second Genesis amp is two DualMono and a monoblock in a single case. Monoblock gives the Kenwood Sub 1200RMS @ 1 ohm, and the other two amps are running my Kenwood XXV Anniversary Components in the rear. Running Yellow top in the front with Zero Gauge Knuconceptz cable to the rear, then into an Audison distribution block, which splits the power to each of the amps using Phoenix Gold 4 Gauge cable. Im running all Power cables under the false floor as to get no interference with signal and speaker cables. There is also a UCS Pro installed for Time Alignment, cross-overs, also lets me crossover slopes and frequency adjustment etc

Doner vehicle! Exteriors getting a big makeover when the sun starts to shine in England, although may neva happen.













Source Unit, my baby, bit old school but i jus love it. This i believe is the only headunit with a built in tube in the processing path. Makes all the sounds more natural, and well its jus orgasmic.






Zero Gauge is such a pain to squeeze through the car, but worth it









Now the good stuff! Thats my two Genny amps plus all my processing power to get things sounding greeeeaat







Then as i went for the stealth look! So you cant see it to steal it








and before you say it that sub box aint staying, built it to specs before i realised how mahoosive it was! Then i sound proofed my door, couple of layers on the inner skin, a slab of foam to stop any cancelling waves of the inner door and then some Dynamat Extreme on the outter skin.









We then add some Speakers, i got MB Quart QSD 3 way running Active of my Genesis DualMono amps, and then some Kenwood XXV Aniversary adition components running in the rear, also running active of DualMono amps, and the sub is a Kenwood sumtin or another (cant remember, but its got a beautiful rear end)







I have also purchased some Brax MultiControllers allowing me to monitor Voltage, temperature, amperage and even the Watts that the amps are pumping out. Trying to keep with the stealth idea i mounted them in the pointless cupholders that we have in our car. They are now hidden and slide out when i need to monitor the system.






And thats as far as i got, should i get a puncture i look like this



Update, new Sub and box and also Split charge relay to be installed. Sub is Phoenix Gold Cyclone, not like a normal sub as its driver is rotary and therfore doesnt need huge voice coils to make it move back and forth. Also have a Orion MBR70 split charge unit, this splits the charge from the alt, but unlike other split charge system, ensures your main battery gets charged before any extra goes to the second battery, this ensures your car starts after a long booming session! Enjoy!!












And in a dress i look like this! Now any questions, please dont hesitate to cal
