UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build
- Thread starter UNBROKEN
- Start date
Thanks for the update, its difficult to tell the difference between white and grey/silver in a photo. Agreed on the slippery suede, its the same for the Alcantara. Put some driving gloves on and they would provide more grip. The wife prefers a gloveless grippy/tacky steering wheel feel (old SCCA solo driver and PCA member), so we ordered the same (leather w/perforated leather) but with no sight line and decided black thread (all black ST). Primary goal is to protect the original 'leather' with a similar feel. We'll see how it goes.

Sorry for the question but what is the volume you got out of the sub enclosure? Do you think you could have gotten much more volume if you had subs that required more? How big of a difference was the tweeter staging going from factory locations to the sail panels and then the a pillars?
I first seen your build log on DIYMA and seen it in person at the Plano show a couple years back. I will say I did tell you I had seen the build log on DIYMA but was afraid to ask for a demo. Now that I purchased a 2020 ST a month ago, I’m kicking myself for not asking for a demo. Nice build and I will say that’s your build and not wanting two Tahoe/Yukons in the driveway made my decisions for purchasing the ST.

That one is 2.2ft^3 and I could have easily gotten more. As far as moving the tweeters…those and the midranges were definitely needed for the imaging and staging I was looking for. I should have gone all out to begin with but just had to try oem locations first. Now I don’t use any oem spots. lol
Yes, I seen the build of the pillars and even the vented kick panels. I can’t go all out like that in mines transporting 4 kids full time, lol. How are the factory locations just for a daily. Got a set of Dynaudio two-way components that need to be installed in a vehicle. Don’t know if I got the time to get pillar or sails built or the time to learn to build myself.

I do like this one a lot better. After steaming a heating a few spots it’s just as tight as the oem cover and to my old hands feels better with the added thickness. Starting a 4000+ mile road trip in less than 2 weeks…hopefully my hands feels better after each day of driving.
