New system plans for Christmas

[blueflamed03]

Just received great news!!!

It looks like the sub was finished, tested, cleaned and packed today, but missed the 3:30 UPS last pick up. Its on the pallet to ship on our first pick up tomorrow.
By tomorrow night at about 8pm Pacific time it will show movement through the system.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thanks,

Well I just checked the shipping status and it says it is scheduled to arrive on Monday! Only bad thing is I have to F!@#ING WORK! till 11 pm. Lol oh well at least I'm off Tuesday, so I can go around and test it out. Also, arriving tomorrow is my Big 3 gear, and voltage meter! I can get that stuff done on the weekend, just in time for the BTL =) I'm so happy! Just to give a quick little shout out to FI. Scott from Fi Car Audio is a really cool guy, he answered some questions, and helped me out a lot. They have great service and they don't ******** their shipping times and stuff. Just letting you guys know I had a good experience with Fi and would highly recommend them. Time to hit the sack!

Hey what did you buy for the Big 3? Just a couple feet of 0g? And where did you get it?

Hey what did you buy for the Big 3? Just a couple feet of 0g? And where did you get it?

It's called darvex.com, they got a bunch of really cool stuff. I ordered 20 ft. just to be on the safe side lol, I bought a 10 pack of ring terminals, a mini ANL fuse holder, fuses, some 5 ft. of 10 gauge speaker wire, and the voltage meter. I think thats all I got. The site is pretty good on prices. Quick shipping to TN, I think I ordered Monday and it should be here today any minute now. The only thing I forgot was the top battery terminals, but I'll go by AutoZone or Advanced Auto Parts and pick those up.

Your using the mini anl fuse holder & fuses for the big 3? Or are you just using power wire?

That darvex site is a little expensive. Cheapest 0g wire I see on there is $2.95/ft, KnuKonceptz.com sells 1/0g for $1.75/ft: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?category=KLMX Kable

I just wish I could find a big 3 upgrade kit for our hoes. Would make things much easier IMO.

I hear ya on that big 3 kit, this is my first time **** it so hopefully it won't be too bad. I installed the volt meter and I'll have some pics of it tonight so you guys can see it.

Just a quick pic from my phone, but here it is. It's bright as hell! makes my other blues look really dim, but they really arent.

Hard to hook up? What happens to the stock volt meter?

Hard to hook up? What happens to the stock volt meter?

As far as I've seen is it doesn't effect the stock one. And hooking it up was pretty easy, you only have 3 wires: remote, ground, and power. hooked it up through the radio harness. The only bad thing about it is if I want the whole dash to come off a again, Ill have to disconnect those wires. I need to make something so it's detachable like everthing else. Any suggestions?

 

[BlackedOutHoe]

i might just have to order one!

 

[xX Mavr1ck Xx]

They send you mounting screws or you can use double sided tape they give you too. Then just drill a hole for the wires in one of the open spots on your dash. I wish mine was where the 4x4 switch is at, but oh well. The wires arent long at all, so you should have it in the same general area as me, or you can buy some longer wire. I just went the easy way lol.

Hey guys I was looking at this alternator and wondering if this is good enough for what I'm getting. Also will it directly bolt on to where the old one was?

Well today I was a little bored and I ran my power wire a little bit better, and think I'm moving my ground. I'll show where my ground was, and I guess I should do it to the frame, but I dont have enough ground wire for that. Will the ground I have now be good? Also mounted the amp on the box, and ran the speaker wire from amp to inside the box. Just some boring stuff... Heres some pics

Amp mounted

What the wires look like on the inside

Heres where the power wire is ran

Where is comes out and here is where my ground question is
