Just a heads up, if everything goes as planned I'll have the 4" Noam's and 3" Boss's laying in the garage. The Noam's sound good for what they are, mostly highs and high mids. The Boss's can sound a bit tinny when pushed hard. They came with a little amp too but it was pretty low quality. Both of these are wake style and ROPS mountable, they will get loud.

So what are you planning Roof mounted Pods Perhaps

 

[Eltobgi]

Was thinking about these as well...


The ssv is close to half the price

 

[Todd627]

Apparently the red ones aren't faster...

It's about going deeper....not faster

Exactly. Remove 4" Noam's from ROPS. Roof mount pods with 5 1/4" Polk's, IP55 rated and said to sound a lot like Infinity's. Then remove 3" Boss's from under dash and mount pods, going to take some fabbing for that, load with the same Polk's. Then switch out the factory SSV's with Infinity 6.5's. End result, four Infinity 6.5's, four Polk 5.25's, two RF tweets, two RF 10" s. Twelve speakers, 1k watts and all quality sh**. Also putting baffles in each location for protection and dampening. Should sound well defined and hurt when you want it to.

Nice! Big changes. Hey check out those little Rf amps. They are super efficient! Don’t barely effect the system especially with the capacitor.

Nooooo...! KICKER PXA is the way to go! They'll never leave you wanting more

Apparently the red ones aren't faster...

But they look WAY faster.

Mine at 39.

Yours must be green.

Just arrived home from work and just happened to look at the P5 and thought damn those tires look bad ass on there! So I thought I’d share a close up

Damn they seem wide and those lugs look mean

 

[CumminsPusher]

I don’t normally believe that sort of stuff but after all the on our white pioneer happened I went back to red.

They do look tough. I still love those tires. Toughest tire out there

Couldnt agree more with you about the system being an addiction all on its own! I have been doing alot of research on the possibilities with the P5 and it is definitely more challenging than a system build in a P1000 so my hat is off to you! you have done some pretty cool things to get a great sound! Just got done watching and listening to some of your videos posted in Vulgar Displays of Power and its got me excited

I think this is going to be a trial and error type process with the system evolving as I try new things. Right now I am thinking about the possibility of using my 12" enclosure in the P5 as a shared component of both. Also, looking at the Boss 4" Cage Mounted speakers simply for the looks of the enclosures and the ability to replace the speakers. I would really like to run a set of 3 way 6x9's for a fuller sound, but I just have to figure out how to do it without compromising space. I do want to keep all weight as low as possible, so there is that too!

I certainly would like to have better tunes than I do, but like you said space is limited especially for a big Squatch like me. Ain't no conehead room up thar.

Lol, I was just admiring your thread where you added the bar for the speakers! I was thinking that was a great idea! Might have to have @Delton build one for me

I've been buying from Crutchfield off and on for at least 25 yrs. They know everything car stereo and you get free technical support for life. I use that to call and ask them about all kinds of stuff, that's how I stumbled onto that little Alpine amp. A true 4 x 50 watts, it's small and not boosted rail technology. The dude said no other company could touch the size and power of that amp for a while after it came out and now they just came out with another one that's 4 x 75. I have an RF Power series in my truck 4 x 53 that is three times the size of this thing.

Btw, 4 pods and baffles ordered, speakers are sitting in the cart...

 

[Eltobgi]

I was messing around in the garage and looking at things I have lying around...12” light bars, 4” cubes, 8 pc RGB rock light set, a storage box I purchased from tractor supply a while back, my 12” KICKER enclosure, a CD player, a set of 6x9s, some ROPS brackets for light mounting, an assortment of led strips, and some marine vinyl I removed from the BEAST. Then I found myself thinking I could easily give the Mini-Beast a little more personality

So I grabbed the brackets and started positioning lights and got discouraged when the brackets were to big for the small front bumper and the light couldn’t be mounted in the locations I was attempting

But...the RGB Rock Lights could go in even without a dual battery set up

Yeah this thread is starting to piss me off! I always thought my little Boss 420 system was cheap and tinny but got the job done... but now I want a RF 4x75 amp and... (@trigger hasn't told us yet...) for speakers!

That Alpine is sexy! I like how they use the plate to seal up/close off the adjustment area! She is spendy though
