Took last Friday off of work since I already had 42 hours in and really didn’t want to spend the whole weekend working on getting that amp in. after a quick nap Thursday I got to the shop around 930 and got started. I’m weird and like working on shit at night haha.
Started off pulling The two 5ks out, then pulled a sub to re wire.
Had to add another set of 5/16’s bolts/t nuts for speaker terminals. So now it will be 1 5k amp per pair of subs wired to .5 ohm instead of 1 5k per 3 subs at .33 ohm. Even though I am adding a 3rd amp doesn’t mean I’m gonna see another 5000 watts. I expect maybe a .5db gain with this setup since I’m wiring up slightly. Main benefit is gonna be longer playtime without the amps getting hot as quick(less strain on them) and just all Around more efficient. Plus wired that low on the 2 amps they didn’t like it when I would roll into bass quickly on the knob.
Went with Jim’s machineworx amp rack this time. Laser cut and powder coated steel brackets to stack the amps. Still used the same wood mount I had before just had to make a new top piece that was 1 1/2” wider for the amps to bolt to on the sides.
Installed and wiring to fuse blocks done!
Idk if it’s me working slow, my ocd, or a combination of both but it was daylight at this point so I called it for now.
