System Build

[Fast SHO]

Going to be a simple/hidden design for the sub and amps in the trunk with a false floor. Using a DSP to keep the OEM HU.  I had been considering getting a single din HU and putting in the glove box or fiber glassing into where the center channel speaker is located. No real good options for putting in an aftermarket unit with how car manufacturers are integrating multiple functions into a single HU design.

Front doors and trunk will be sound deadened.  Also going to speak with the builder about the necessity to sound deaden the floor pans.

Going to be running the front components active with no rear fill.

Components being used:

Mosconi 4to6 DSP, PHD FB Pro 6.1 Component Speakers run Active with a Mosconi Gladen One 120.4, the JL 12w6v2 and JL JX 1000/1.

Got the PHD FB Pro 6.1 Components in. http://www.phd.it/welcome_to/speakers/fb61_kit.asp

Looks like there were some small design changes compared to the pics I've seen elsewhere (no logo on dust cap etc...).

Review of the components (mine don't have the aluminum housing for the tweeters).

Sweet!  ... Now if Santa would just send you some elves to do the work!

This is what is going to be done to retain useable trunk space.

Looks sharp, as well as an efficient use of space.

Very nice. Really clean looking.  What are your plans, if any, for the surface of the spare tire well?

 

[Fast SHO]

Not sure what you mean.  It is going to have a cover that can be placed over top that won't interfere with sub excursion.

Sorry, I actually was was asking if you were going to do anything t the weel below the sub... TIA

Out of curiosity, for this type of install and others who use spare tire space for subs, is there no concern to carry a spare? Will you just rely on being towed?

Sound deadening - pretty standard.

The Performance Package SHO doesn't have a spare.  You get a little run flat kit.  But yes, you get towed.

Some updated photo's.  Should be done tomorrow.  Have been slowed by working through issues unique to the Taurus with the firewall and combined stock amp/dsp that combines numerous ford sync features.

Here are some photo's.

Very nice!  You have used the Focal BAM before?  MDF for the box?

 

[Fast SHO]

Where have you all gotten the amp turn on signal?

 

[Fast SHO]

MDF for box.  I am not actually installing, just helping the installer with some questions he had unique to the Taurus SHO.

Going to pick it up tomorrow.  He is just tuning the DSP right now.

Some more pictures:

Very Cool!!!  Anxious to see the final install!  Waiting for those pics!  opcorn:

Picked it up today.  Sounds good, I just need to tune it to my exact liking.  Tweets are a bit bright right now and I might need to adjust some gains. Going active without a crossover makes it a touch more time consuming but the benefit is a fuller sound and more control.

Installer did a good job and the deadening of the doors made a big difference.

Final product looks like that last pic but with a sub and panels to cover them.

Merry Christmas!!!

Carols, now heard in 3D!  Enjoy the new setup, and don't forget to go WOT a few times too!
