Project "Loudmouse" (4x15" Subwoofers in a wall)

[Loudmouse]

Hello

My name is Marco and i am from the Netherlands (or Holland or whatever )
I own a K10 and i would like to share it with you.

I call it Project "Loudmouse"

When i bought it it was pretty close to white

And no: the steering is not on the wrong side, its on the other side

To fit 4 x 15" subwoofers something had to be removed.
And because this is not my daily ride (sorry)
I've lost the rear seat :P

This steering wheel is with a snapoff and can be replaced with a normal steering wheel (2 snapoffs)
But to be honoust this is the only one i use

Little bit high

And a bit lower

I had to remove the interieur to install the wiring for the audio

2x 50mm² from the front battery to the rear battery's

Showing my carbon(wrapped) hood to a wannabe Micra

And the beginning of the install
I have glued mdf (=wood, dont know the english name for it) to the roof
First 8mm and then some 18mm layers

tss, kids these days

more soon

The rear bumper was broken
But instead of replacing it
I repaired it proffesionaly haha

Also in carbonwrap
oh, and i sprayed the rear window, with paint (0% visability)

Note for myself: Hide the keys!!

 

[Loudmouse]

Because there was nothing to see through my rearwindow, i removed the mirror.
And replaced it with this thing to hang my stuff on

And then i've decided wat color to use.
Loudmousegray from House of Action kolors (Action= cheapass store)

Dont mind the speakercables

And a little start of the wall build
This is one side of the car (above the suspension)

Other side

Back view

With a friend we designed the Loudmouse logo

The Alpine RUX controller for my Alpine PXA701 processor

Time to build a wall

And to clean my car afterwards

As you can see i will be using 4 Sundown Audio SA15 woofers (2x2ohm)

The wall is 5x 18mm thick (9cm)
Must be enough i hope

everything is now in a few layers of polyester

I had to finetune the port, it was to short.
This is just to test it.

Here's some system information
Headunit: Alpine CDA9854R (oldie but it works)
Processor: Alpine PXA-701 & RUX
Front speakers: Audio System Helon165 (about to be replaced with 4x16 for each door)
Front amp: Audio System Twister F4-600 (active on front set)
Sub amp: DD Z1 (over 4000Wrms @ 1Ohm)
Subs: 4x15" Sundown Audio SA15 2x2 Ohm
Wiring: 2x50mm² from oem battery to the Northstar battery's. from there 4x50mm² to the back
Battery's: front battery (little bit bigger than oem)
2x Northstar NSB 100Ft under the front seats

I hope you enjoyed this.
And i hope to see you at The Modified Nationals 2013 (I went this year without the Micra)

 

[aLLeKs]

somehow I have the feeling, that the soundpressure will destroy the car looks soooo sick

 

[Dougyledds]

What DB have you had mate? have you had it tested?

 

[Loudmouse]

Too bad my engine broke down after the last meeting.
So i have to find a new engine.
Because of this i couldt do much testing (i own my own Termlab dB meter)

But i am over the 150dB
Forgot to tell that all my audio weighs over a 300kg

The motor is still broken.
In 2 weeks we are going to try a 1.0--1.2 swap.
Hope it works......

 

[AH.K10]

Did the engine swap go ok? Should be fairly easy.

 

[Loudmouse]

The swap went well.
Only problem was the ecc.
My old 1.0 didnt had one.
And the 1.2 did.
After a few tries the engine still didnt start so we gave it up.
Now its running without the ecc on the 1.0 ignition.
We still have to look to the carb because the 1.2 version is controlled by the ecc.

[AH.K10]

Cant you just run with the 1.0 carb?

Good to hear its going well hope you get it running good soon!

 

[Loudmouse]

Is the 1.0 carb enough to keep up with the 1.2 engine?

Forgot to tell
But its not an automatic gearbox anymore.
We have also swapped the 5 gearbox in it

 

[AH.K10]

I read on here some where the 1.0 carb has a bigger jet than the 1.2 not sure. so in that case yes it would. if that is the case

 

[skymera]

All I got from that vid was "BRRRRR BRR BRRRRRRRRBRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BBBBRRRRRR"

 

[Loudmouse]

Lol.
Thats the sound of 4x15" subwoofers running on 5KW.

But maybe we give it a try with the 1.0 carb

 

[Loudmouse]

Again a little update

All of my amplifiers are swapped for something new

2x Sundown Audio SAZ1500D for sub
They can do their job on 0.5 Ohm
Estimated power is 2000Wrms each (so every sub gets about 1kW)

And a Sundown Audio 100.4 for the front speakers

And after a lot of thinking together with the importguy this is gonna be the set in the doors

We take a Sundown Audio Neo 8" as mid

And for tweeter a SPL Dynamics SPL hd 25t (2,5" big tweeter)

A little volt gauge for in the dash

I can put it on and of with the switch from the rear window heater wich is useless anyway (untill now ofcourse haha)
There is another volt gauge to be placed near the amplifiers.

I will be ok for this car you know

 

[MaxK11C]

Such an original idea for a Micra. Keep up the good work mate. (Y)

 

[Dougyledds]

Are you on Talkaudio mate

 

[Loudmouse]

As you can see in the videoclip the loudmouse is up and running

This is a schematic of the equipment

And yes i am at Talkaudio, But i never post there so you will not find the mouse there (yet)
The flexing door and window is a sort of optical illusion.
Yes the door is shaking like hell
But because of the speed of the camera it looks like its waving.
Remember the old western movies ?
It always looks like the wheels in these movies are spinning the wrong way
Same thing with the doors and windows.
My new personal highscore is nog 151,6dB at 40Hz
And i know theres more in it because i havent put it on full power yet
This is because one of the amplifiers dropped out (because of a bad power connection (Stupid me) )
I hope to get it till 153dB
