Sell my fantastic 760 wagon stereo installation

Discussion in 'Volvo 760' started by Forrest McCanless, Apr 10, 2005.

  1. I have a cherry '90 760 wagon that served as a hobby vehicle for
    stereo installs while I engineered the new 9-liter (yes, nine!)
    mid-engined drivetrain that's going to use all that space in the rear.
    Consequently, I'm selling off all my current equipment. All about 6
    years old, lightly used, all receipts, tons of pix available.

    Kicker KZ1000 amp - factory tested at 1736 watts + remote gain
    Kicker KZ240 amp - tested at 470 watts + hi-pass module
    Kicker KZ120 amp - tested at 257 watts + lo-pass module
    (2) Kicker sink links, to connect all three amps into one unit that
    stretches glass-to-glass across the back of the rear seat.
    (4) Kicker crossovers
    (2) Kicker 8" subs for mid-base
    (2) Kicker 6" for mids
    (2) Kicker neodymium tweets
    (4) JBL GTX 15" subs
    1/0 Tiff wiring, 140 amp fuse, distribution blocks, etc.

    All this was chosen and configured with much communication with
    Kicker's techs in Stillwater (I'm a mechanical engineer, and just LOVE
    this stuff!)

    The best part it my super custom module that mounts all but the
    non-sub drivers behind the rear of the back seat - it includes a new
    spare tire door, and is covered in Volvo grey carpet - it's the third
    evolution that's been in the car, and is the best trade-off between
    room consumed, technical sophistication, and "wow" factor. The amps
    are on top and visible (wires hidden), and all the electronics are
    visible on smoked plexi when you flip the back seats down - along with
    a voltmeter and purple neon. . .

    The subs are mounted as a pair of two-driver units in correctly-sized
    chambers, each driver bolted face-to-face (out of phase) in a
    configuration called "isobaric push-pull". The sound is actually
    generated out of the back of the two outer drivers, and is aimed to
    the rear, to bounce off the nice vertical rear glass. The Volvo is so
    long that I had to create an even longer wave path to eliminate some
    phase cancellation at the front seats at low frequencies.

    All of this joy can be yours for, say $3500.00. It's currently in my
    daily driver and wired and usable. Love to send pix to interested
    parties.

    Oh yeah, when it was configured as (4) ported subs in a HUGE box that
    took up EVERYTHING behind the rear seats, I hit 150.8 db at a
    competition at a HiFI Buys in Atlanta (and was beaten by a CRX!) Now
    it's about 134 db, but much cleaner sound.

    I'll miss it, but I want the new project!

    Try ebay, or one of the stereo groups, most of us Volvo guys don't give a
    rat's ass about any of that stuff and a 9 liter engine taking up the entire
    cargo area sounds like the most useless and pointless Volvo wagon on the
    face of the earth, I feel sorry for that poor car.

    Yea what James said! What kind of moron would do such a thing to a VOLVO let
    alone brag about it?Fucking punks are unpredictable at best,take this shit to a
    Honda group and sell it to some single brain cell zip. Out

  4. Oh man - what kind of fun you guys must have!

    I guess deciding on the right cleaning products is pretty much nirvana

    It takes a real man to cut up a nice car. Actually, two nice cars -
    the Volvo is getting the drivetrain from a low nileage, albeit rusty
    '76 Cadillac Eldorado.

    I'm kind of old and educated to be a fucking punk - maybe you're
    talking about my kids?

    1990 Volvorado (Valkri to you slugs in my rearview!)
