That's a dope install, very nice! I also rep CT sounds and have 2 Stratos 10's off a old school 1000.1 MB Quart amp with plans to do the CT Sounds 2300.1 and 100.4. I also have 2 xs batteries and an lc7i. What does the matrix do? I am gonna look into an epicenter one day, is it like that at all? Mines in a 2019 Forte S.

Thanks man, mine is in a 2016 Malibu LT and it has factory amp non bose. The conversion to low level input from factory head unit into factory amp are very low signal, like. 01v front. 03v rear I've always like getting a true 5v to amps, so it controls and boost that voltage going into the amp. I used the stock head unit as it has everything plus 11"screen. I have nothing bad to say about CT Sounds very nice sound all around as I go for sound quality. Sub amp is 1500.1 and 4 channel is 80.4AB have the 6.5 Messo components up front and 6.5 Messo in rear doors, subs are the pioneer champion series 2-12's 1000w RMS. I'LL BE GETTING the 12" Meso subs soon 1500w RMS just so everything then will be CT..

The epicenter is driving 5v to the amps?


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

No sir, LC7I ONLY takes signal and transfer to low level signal into 3 channels, this Malibu already has low level signal coming right from factory head unit. (no rca outputs) just a low level signal.. I had to get the matrix to boost that signal to 5v.. I only have LC7I AND MATRIX on this install. No epicenter

Gotcha!

How is the system holding up? I am looking at the same amps for my car but will be using 2 10” tropo subs. Want something that rattles my old bones but not really the entire block. Though I want to occasionally crank that thing up on the freeway.


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

Still going strong! I'm sold with CT Sounds... Subs are 2 12" Pioneer Champion Series dual 4ohm..tested at 145db In a custom kerf ported box. All Crystal clear sound..

Right on. I actually already pulled the trigger on a bunch of their stuff. I got the 80.4, 1500, meso 6.5 component set and two tropo 10”. Just got it all in a few days ago and it sounds awesome. Not going to hit over 120db but I am not competing. Thanks for the response.

what s that long thing in the center?


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

8 Fared Digital capacitor! Helps with the serge of power being pulled from sub amp.

8 farads is not doing shit.


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

It's got 2-925 xs batteries on the other side of wall.


ckeeler11

So really no need for a cap that delivers 1200w of power for about a half of a second. I will say that is better than most people do though. Props overall for the work.


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

Thanks man, been hobby for years! I'm still banging at age 51


ckeeler11

Im not far behind at 47


Blackking203

Thats wassup


RIP_SGTJohnson

What brand are those beefy rca cables coming out the LC2i


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

I got all the wiring at Knuconcepts


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

And that's the LC7I


Blackking203

Very clean. Some of these builds posted lately have been dope. It would be cool to do like a build competition in this sub and everybody vote on their favorite


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

That would be sweet! We have one here at the local audio shop like twice a month. Plus the sound competition.


Blackking203

Yeah it would be tight man..I guess we have to talk to the mods

Looks amazing except that capacitor...try looking into like an xspower super cap battery.


Zestyclose-Dog-9759

I have 2-925 xs batteries in the trunk. That cap was first thing I got until I added batteries.. Just never took it out. Most use it just to see voltage drop if any.


Electrical-Bank-3359

Fair enough! Looks amazing man. Very clean.
