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.

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

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

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

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

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.
