Buick Skylark - Primo Subwoofer Install

We previously covered the frontstage. Now we move to the rear and the subwoofer system. The goal was to conserve as much space as possible. The depth of the sidewalls, shape of the back wall and the locations of the amps were dictated by that. Given that this is an old car, the trunk is basically all bare metal, with no trim or anything, so that had to be built. The trunk with all the grilles in place, furnished in grey trunk liner. Simplicity in Sound pushed the front wall back as far as possible and built two simple structures that hide the metal plates that the trunk hinges attach to.

With the front and floor grilles removed you can see three Morel Primo 10" subs firing backwards, and three Mosconi Gladen Audio amps on the floor. An XL150C4 sends 150 watts to the mid/tweet combo in each kick, and 150 watts to each rear component set, a RS150C2 powers the midbass drivers with 150 watts a piece, and a SPL 1800C1 sends a whopping 1800 watts or so to the three Morel subs.

Everything is trimmed in a dark red vinyl that matches the exterior of the car and all the gear is flush mounted.

The customer also asked SiS to provide some type of lighting so he can see what is in the trunk in the dark. There are two hyper white LED floodlights from Oznium.com sunk into the panel. They are operated via a remote control fob attached to the key chain.

The two covers on the side walls conceal a storage compartment and space for a battery. Two EFX DELTA Dclamp terminals were used.

Here's the main foundational board bolted to the floor of the trunk. It provides a solid and flat mounting surface for everything else.

Then two extra platforms were bolted to the left and right sides, they would anchor the two compartments.

Next, the 2 cubic foot sealed enclosoure was constructed for the three subs. It has a sloping top and takes advantage of as much air space as possible. The front is covered in red vinyl, and inside it's stuffed with Blackhole STUFF. The box was secured to the car using six threaded inserts going into the foundational board which allows six bolts to secure the box. Additional bolts were used to secure the sides to the floor.

Here is the subwoofer trim panel before and after vinyl application, along with the other pieces for the trunk.

Simplicity in Sound, Bing Xu: "I have to say that I am utterly blown away by the Virtus 693 3-way set. I heard them at CES in (Morel America COO) Casey Thorson's car and was mighty impressed, so I had high expectations, but I am still really amazed at how they performed. Right out of the box, no adjustment of anything, they were warm, smooth, natural, with very nice impact and detail. The last two things were perhaps the most noted improvements over the older Morel drivers. The car images okay, center is rock solid with the center channel, height is dash level, a little rainbowing left and right, but overall tonality is excellent. "I also had the same positve impression of the Primo subs. They provide an outstanding amount of smooth, deep and fast subbass, blend with the music well, and most surprisingly, the car has truly nice subbass output even with the top down. "Overall, i cannot praise this new generation of Morel products enough, expect to see more Virtus and Primo installs from me in the near future, along with the other redesigned Morel lines higher up in the food chain. "

As you can see in our archives that's exactly what SiS has done.

Peterbilt Truck with Primo Subwoofer

It's not everyday you see a Peterbilt Truck with a system in it. The guys at www.MelbourneCarAudio.com.au in Dandenong South, Australia did exactly that, adding a 10" Primo subwoofer in a custom leather covered enclosure.

Primo Subwoofer Install - '06 Hummer H2

Fitting amps and a pair of Primo 8" subs all under the rear seat, even of a H2 is no simple task. But that was what the customer wanted and so Simplicity in Sound executed a very clean installation of an amprack/subwoofer box combo.

Lift the seat backs and you see a single continuous rack running the entire width of the space.

Remove those covers and here is what you see, two Morel Primo 8" subs on the driver side, trimmed in black vinyl, and two mesh grilles with Arc Audio emblems over two Xdi amps, chosen for their diminutive size and power output. The dip in the middle of the rack accommodates the separation of the two seat cushions, where a hard metal frame means it must be kept at a lower level than the rest of the structure.

Here's a closer look at the construction of this amp rack/sub enclosure. First SIS ensured the entire structure would be well-anchored to the floor. A total of eight quarter inch rivet nuts were added to the metal floor. Then three pieces of 3/4" MDF were bolted to those spots, acting as foundational support for the entire amp rack/enclosure.

The structure was built of MDF, with proper platforms and supports, and the bottom of the sub enclosure was made of fiberglass to gain additional mounting depth and air space. Part of the box runs under the amp supports for additional air space as well. The rough estimate is around .65-.6 cub ft total of sealed space.

Then, with the top of the enclosure secured and wrapped in black vinyl, the rest of the structure was sprayed with truck bedliner to ensure that no bare MDF is visible through any gaps on the floor.

The structure was bolted to the support platforms via threaded inserts, and it was all wired. That was perhaps one of the most challenging parts of the entire build, making sure all the wires were properly secured, ziptied, while still remaining totally within the confines of the top cover, and not visible at all when done. It took about 5 hours!

400 watts go to the subs. Here is the top cover of the rack/enclosure, built out of 3/8" MDF and wrapped in a single piece of black carpet. Also pics of all the press fit grilles, vented, before and after carpet.

Our thanks to SIS for sharing their work with us. Next week is the grand opening of their new store and shop facilities! Visit them online: http://facebook.com/SimplicityinSound.
