Finally Installed Elemental Designs Eu-700!

[articacid]

Ive been waiting to buy these and i finally got them! it took me about 2 hours to get them in though. they wouldnt fit with out a spacer. so i used a 5/8 in spacer, i couldnt find any 1/2 that was cheap and little(had to fit in my car) at lowes.

first i cut the rings to fit the speakers. i used the little speaker cover that came with them that protects them during shipping as my template. then i had to cut nubs out for the voice coils. then i put them in the car and marked where i had to cut a little out for the voice coils. then screwed them in.

actually fitting the speakers in is the hard part. the hole is to small, so i had to keep pulling on the plastic. it would have probably been easier to just remove the sail panel. then i just screwed them into the wood rings.

i didnt have a chance to adjust the amp for them yet becuz i have to take the cover off and i didnt have enough time.

so heres then entire setup as of now:
edi 6000's in front
eu 700's d4 in sails
both powered by a nine.4
2 13kv's powered by a nine.1

i turned the subs off before i turned them on for the 1st time. so i put on mudvayne- forget to remember, and my jaw dropped. they sounded absolutely amazing. the 6000's and the 700's mix beautifully. the sq is absolutely top notch. i havent heard anything quite like this before. so then i throw some static x on, again nothing but smiles. so now time to test the lows, i put on ying yang twins- badd, it was like they were laughing at me. them more i pushed them the better they sounded. the excursion on these thing are insane too! i cant wait to dial them in a little more when i get the chance.

Nice to see someone figured out how to get a set of Eu-700 in those panels. I got the eDi-6500's in the front powered by a nine.4 . I wanted to get the 700's for sails but saw a post over there that said it couldn’t be done easy. You got any more pics of your setup and more detail of how you got those 700's to fit right? Great job btw on getting them to fit looks pretty good. Did you use eDead for the sound deadening, if so were all did you use it at?

i have pics on my car domain of the stereo.

basicly all i had to do to get them to fit is make the wood ring and cut a little bit off of each side to make room for the voice coils. other than that they fit right in there.

i used edead v1. i used 2-3 layers on the entire hatch area. then i did the doors, and the space behind the rear speakers.

wish i could use them but alas the vert allows for only the shallowest of mounting depths... time to save up for illusion audio (200 a peice :( ).

hey artic are the ed speakers dual voice coil, if so i can buy a dual 4 and power it to 2 ohms, if so that would be awesome and i will get me a set of components and 700's how much was total for the edi 6000 and eu 700 and edead, that is what i am looking to get!

[articacid]

yeah thats how i am running them, you can get d4 or d2.

the 700 were 112 shipped for 2, the comps were 150 free ship, and the edead came to like 90-100 something for like 100 sq.

i was waiting for you to chime in t-punk. the sq is amazing.

i am have problems with them rattling so tomarrow ill work on it, im going to wrap the rings in sound deadener.

[articacid]

t-punk just out of curiousity, how much space do you have to mount depth wise?

i redid the speakers today to seal them up and fix some rattles, so i took pics.

i got enough to do a write up on a complete install, ill post it in a few days.
