Default Senior project

So im in high school and im a senior and have to pick a senior project. This has to consist of 25 hours of work minimum, SO i was thinking of putting a full sound system in my car, including a new head unit, front/back speakers, amp for the speakers, and building a box for my subwoofers, would you think i can stretch out 25 hours outta all this if not can i get some other suggestions to help me out with hours thanks.

You can easily spend 25hr putting a sound system in your car.

What is the MM&Y of your car? 94

So standard 6.5" speakers in the front and 6x9s in the rear, right?

What kind of budget and what kind of system?

1- Something you can strreeettch into 25 hours?

2- Something you can put 25 or more hours into?

If you picked #2 do you want SQ, [sound quality] or show quality, [BLING]?
You can have both but that will take longer and cost more.

Will it go towards your grades, if so, find out what kind of music the person(s) grading it like, build a stealth SQ system, you could easly spend half the 25 hours on the front doors themselves, [front stage], forget the sub box, [it's not practical].

Start with a good quality HU, SQ depends on it, front and rear speakers and an amp to drive them, sink your time and effort into installing the equipment properly to get the best SQ the equipment will allow.

At showtime have the grader(s), [teacher/professor/judges/peers] music cued up, not to loud so while glued to a "presentation" of your "senior project with footage of you putting in your 25 hours, obviously, have the presentation prompt the grader to turn on the ign, sit back and closer their eyes.

If you have done your job right, you will impress the hell out of the grader, probably impess the hell out of yourself also. 94

Don't forget to time align everything. It makes a huge difference.

I'm sure research time is included in the time requirement so that 25hrs will be a lock in.

I don't know what expectations your school has but I'd document how much time you spent and what info you learned each research session. You're teacher will love you.
