[BOSS]

Damn man, I like the attention to detail

that's some crazy amperage, where did you pick up the brackets?

B

 

[thehoe92]

I swear I've seen this build before..
maybe I skipped over it but I didn't see what you plan on running for subs and amps.
either way everything is looking great so far
solder job looks clean as hell bro!

it was made by Dom at Iraggi

thanks, i have more pics of it gutted, putting the second skin down, running the rca
s, speaker wire and of the head unit but they're on an SD card and my laptop won;t read it

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

as for subs im probably gonna go with BTL's again cause i have one of the old 3 slugs in the caddy and love it as for amps im leaning towards the AQ3500's

 

[thehoe92]

god I love the 3 slug BTL's haha!
just something about the newer ones that don't look right
killer just picked up one in fact

have you looked into sundown by any chance?

can't wait to see some videos

 

[flashlight_65]

it'll be awhile before any vids lol. i agree with you about the new btl's they look like ufo's under the baskets but they made a good thing better so i'll stick with what i know. as for the sundowns i haven't really looked to much lately i did when they first came out but with the AQ's being underrated like they are and for the price they're pretty tempting

 

[NoPh33rRaCiNg]

looks clean bud

 

[flashlight_65]

thanks, hopefully I'll be stationed out in Bangor Washington by the end of the year

 

[matt14]

Damn, lookin good. Do you have anything else planned for mids and highs

 

[killer20072001]

Those alts are sexy, and that fuse block is badass. Where do I get one?

As thehoe92 said i just one of the BTL's. The box build starts tomarrow. WOOT

 

[Tahoewhat]

Looks, sounds like crazy build, but looking forward to pics..

 

[dy_lon]

Awesome idea for the fuse block. Im going to look into building a similar fuse block, but for my lighting!

 

[BlackLac]

4 alternators!

 

[flashlight_65]

i got some old pics that i didnt get to put cause my sd card reader shit the bed on my laptop.

some equipment
100' 1/0 kolossus flex and 8g, fuses and a ton of ring terminals

buss bars i drilled out but the metal is too thin so i got some 3/4" thick on the way

 

[NoPh33rRaCiNg]

Shoot if you come out here I want to hear this for sure. Question though, where'd you get your ring terminals from? I got a guy on CA and CACO with some but if you've got another source that maybe is cheaper lemme know.

 

[flashlight_65]

thank you, i already have the infinity kappas for the doors but still undecided about the a-pillars and kick panels (maybe cdt or rainbow comps) as for power an rf t600.4 for the infinity's and a t400.4 for the others

As thehoe92 said i just one of the BTL's. The box build starts tomarrow. WOOT

i built the fuse block using an old pelican case, grommets, spray painted some framing brackets and some nuts,bolts and lock washers. good luck on your build

 

[flashlight_65]

anyone have experience using sketch up? if you guys can help me out im thinking subs up port back with the slot kerfed and centered the max dimensions are 48w x 21h x 22d for 10 cubes tuned to 32hz. any help wou;d be appreciated

 

[flashlight_65]

Well the box is built. Now I'm working on a new build for the next step

built it in my room

getting the kerf lined up

making it strong

rounding over the corners

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Seperating the chambers

cutout the holes and test fit

Filled in the screw holes, sanded, glassed/45'ed all the corners

sprayed the port with splatter paint

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Wrapped and ready to load. Just needs some finishing touches
4.75 cubes after displacement tuned around 32hz

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

What do you guys think for a temp box and first time kerfing wood? I think it cane out all right.

 

[mrtrill]

camp lejeune....damn thrill seekers!!!
lol...im sittin up here lookin @ all those wires n stuff,
its not even mines & im cringing.

great diy though, sum of yall b gettin to it!


by the way...how much amperage does a stock altenator put out??
mines is starting to lose it...I have 2 yellowtops and it was puttin out a steady 14 volts with a 3000 rms draw,
now even without any of the 3 amps installed, that sucker will drop down to 9 volts.
