I finally got around to upgrading the door speakers and amp. There isn't an Eclipse dealer in my area anymore, so I went with MB Quart. I have the 218.61Q set in the front, and the PKC116 with upgraded Musicomp crossover in the rear. I'm using one Zapco Reference 150 amp each for the front and rear.

Combined with the JL Audio 10W7 (HO Wedge box) and Zapco Reference 750, this should be a pretty nice setup. One thing I'm worried about is the titanium tweeters sounding too bright.

The installer is currently doing his magic. I'll be picking up the Murano later tonight and I'll post my opinion and some pictures of the install soon.

Well, there isn't anything for me to take a picture of!

The speakers are all in the factory locations, the amps are under the front seats and the crossovers are up under the dash. There isn't anything visible at all!

The sound is absolutely fantastic. I can understand words in songs I've never been able understand before. I set the tweeter gain to -6db on the rear crossovers, and -4db on the front crossovers, and it's not too bright at all.

:18:

Are you still using your factory head unit?

 

[Tyler_Canada]

For now. The person who did the install is really knowledgeable, and I'll be talking to him as to what to do when I get the money to add a DVD system.

A nice setup he did in an MDX this week involved the following:
A 15" drop down display for the back seat.
DVD input to the rear camera display in the front seat.
A switch to allow the rear camera to be used in the front seat while the 15" drop down is being used for DVD, since it blocks the rear view mirror.

I've been checking out the components you listed, and it sounds like a sweet setup. Can you take a picture of your JL Audio 10W7 (HO Wedge box)? I'd like to see how much room it takes up, the direction (facing to the front or back), etc.. Thanks, Glenn

Sure:

This has been cleaned up a lot with wire ties, etc.

Check this out. I was in my MO this morning in the parking lot (still dark out), and I was cranking my MB Quart RCE216s (to 22 on the volume scale), when I noticed a glow coming from the crossovers.
The fuses were red like a toaster oven. I quickly turned the volume down, and they stopped glowing. Should that be happening? I am powering them with a JL Audio 300/4 amp (75 watts to each speaker in front, and 150 bridged to the sub in back.
For now, I'll be keeping the volume below 15.
Thanks in advance.

That's kind of scary. I would worry that the fuses were about to blow. I don't play mine very loud, but these speakers can supposedly handle a LOT of power.

Does the installer by any chance have a pic of the 15inch drop down in the rear? I would love info, prices, brand rtc. OR if you could put me in touch with him. Thanks DOn

I don't think he takes any pictures of installs he does.

You can call him at 613.837.0987
Ask for Martin and don't worry if they answer in French, they also speak English.
