PB's Shitboxen Getz

Love it, everyone loves the underdog. I to derive great pleasure in rolling a turd in glitter.

These things are very hard to kill and surprisingly fun to drive...

Now you have me wanting to repaint it with a pearl flake ?

I have ordered 12 (6 bulb 6 wedge) LED T3 lights so I can fix all the lighting for the HVAC controls etc

Ordered a 4 channel RCA cable and 100ft of 16g wire a few days ago, should be here on Tuesday or Wednesday next week

then I can hook most everything up and get the majority of the stereo wiring out of the way

Power wise... doing 4G CCA from engine bay battery to the Renogy 50amp DC->DC charger

that goes into 400AH of LIFEPO4 which then powers the 3.5KW sub amp and 75x4 speaker amp and has a 50amp and 175amp anderson plugs for utility

The DC-DC converter is common ground and has bluetooth so I can limit it to 30amps or something when idling and I can also set the bulk charging to limit to a max of 13.6v and not kill the lifepo4 long term

Not yet decided on what front LED lightbar to put on, @Dauntless was giving me some ideas like this one

Stereo on the way

Initial amp arrived at dads house in USA

It's a medium quality full range class D with a Bluetooth app based DSP integrated into it

A YouTuber dyno'd one of them and it does put out advertised rms power

I'm going to bi-amp the front speakers

I keep looking at late 2000 spec Kenwood excelon amps, the x301t was rated at 100x2 at 0.005%THD

They also have a party trick power slide door on the front for the lolz

All the stereo has more power than the car .....

Subs will rattle the panels off or will get stress cracks from vibration!

Fun times.

not quite but this Indian car has given me inspiration!

Windscreen cracked from the SPL!!!

Hitting pedestrians obviously

@Wino

For stereo starting with the 2 sets of the kenwood high res components

plan had been for stock locations for all 4 woofers, but just one set of tweeters

Thoughts on second set of tweeters in rear vs second set in front etc?

I could do one direct facing and one set bouncing off the windshield or both direct facing or one at front and one at rear

the cross-overs are bi-amp capable.... so can do a lot in terms of amplification etc

Long term is to remove anything from the rear and have both 6.5's in the door

Still unsure with tweeters...

Screw it... Ordered the matching co-ax speakers for the rear (on super sale)

They support being bi amped etc as well so can run them full range or midrange only

Also ordered 3sqm of sound dampening to start with to make the car a quieter place in general

I'm going to do some 3d printed models out of PLA for the front doors for dual 6.5 setups and if I get something I like them move to pteg

Co ax speakers

Speakers arrived and they are nice

I need to get some extra RCA cables today as I have 4 channels but need 6

In future should have a DSP to simplify things...

The sound deadening arrives tomorrow and I can start stripping the interior to do the wiring and deadening etc

Also need to find a yard to get a few replacement parts and work out why the pass window does not go up or down
