I got one dash pod installed yesterday and should have the other one done this morning. Then its picture time. And yes the MID BASS IS EPIC!!!

This picture gives them wheels SOOO MUCH more justice. LOoks clean, jelly bean,haha.

Alot of guys on here have had good luck with DC Power, including myself.

Looks like you are movin' right along. Keep up the awesome work Brother. BTW godam thats alotta power wires.lol.

The box, She lOoks gOod. Pat your self on the back Brother, you kicked its ass.

Looks gOod Brother. Super clean jellybean,haha.

I personally just called him on the phone to discuss my needs, you will get alot farther, alot faster that way. just a thought.

Keep up the good work and keep them pitcure's a comin'.

The rope he has is infact for installing windsheilds. I buy my butyl rope at the local parts store. and yes they are the same thing.

The new ATV tires and wheels just showed up!!!! They are super knobby!!!! pics in a few.

thanks EVERYBODY for the comments!!!!! I definetly try to return the favor.

I wanted to add the reason competors have HUGE banks of batterys is they are trying to get one simotanious BURST OF POWER all at once, not what regular ppl need. Alot of things get carried over to the normal world from competition, but massive battery banks should NOT be one of them. waste of money for the average system.

The reason I personally recommend the HO over bigger or dual batterys "IF" you can afford it. When I installed my D3400 and D1200 in my car with the factory alternator I though it should cure most of the headlight dimming and voltage drop, Well it didn't. After a minute or two of hard playing and the voltage on the dual batterys dropped and could NOT recover until I turned the volumer down and let the factory alt catch up and recharge the batterys. With that being said, the XS Power batterys are VERY FAST at recovering, which is their claim to fame, So they did do that VERY WELL. Now the reason a HO is better is, the batterys can only maintain high voltage for a short time before needing recarged, BUT the HO can maintain high voltage continuosly by its self. Which do you think is better? Now for the math part, If your amplifiers are demanding 2700 watts or 270 amps (amps x 10 = watts) If you have a 270 amp HO alt you in theory don't even need the battery except to start the car. In real time the battery banks are re-inforcement for dymanic peaks. With all that being said, your amps aren't demanding 2700 watts except at full volume, So realisticly at normal listening levels they are drawing alot less So this is why a stock 130 amp alternator is good enough for most ppl. IS because between the 1300 watts the alt is making, the amplifiers are only using what they need from the battery(s) to fill the void. A good battery is always important also, and if your factory atlernator is keeping up except for the very occassional peak the your probably are good investing in a few better batterys first. I think the reason "most" ppl buy batterys is that its usaully cheaper and they can be added as the budget allows, as with the HO alt, its one BIG LUMP all at once. So my personal advice to you, Jaycee is the same you give every body else, watch your voltage after each upgrade and see what really works. If you can only afford the battery right now, then thats better than nothing and you will want to upgrade the batterys sooner or later anyways even if you did get the HO first. If I could go back I would of did the HO first and I bet I would of only needed one good battery under the hood. BTW I have another vehicle with a Powermaster 200 amp alternator and Warn winch, let me tell you Jaycee, When I installed the HO I experimented with NO batterys and used the winch with the headlights on and they never even change brightness just stayed even kill even with no batterys and turning the winch motor on and off, over and over, VERY IMPRESSIVE. You must have POWER to make POWER.

I just got the high's amp wired in. I am using the Rockford fosgate 400.a4 I already had for now. I will post pic's in a few.

What seires of Bilsteins did you get? I have the 5100's on my Xterra and the 5150's on my blazer and I am a Bilstein man for life now.

Box looks good Brother.

Did you get new rims, you lucky dogg.

The door doesn't feel to bad for all the extra weight. They don't really slam like I was worried about. I didn't get the chance to put any power to them yet as I just got done mounting them right before I had to come to work. I will fire them up in the morning, PLUS shouldn't take long to get the dash pods installed. THE MID-BASS SHALL BE EPIC, BABY!!!!!

I will let you guys know what increments are available as options on the x-over when I get switched to 3-way, I am hoping for tomarrow.

here's the x-over settings on the H100

Here's the drivers door with the grill installed. I pulled the drivers pod in more than the passanger pod with the 1/4" bolts, but right now the window just barely catches the back of the specker SO I will have to adjust one more time. from the passanger seat. I should have the dash pods installed in no time!!!!!

Here's the drivers door. Next will be pictures with the grill on.

Here's some with the grill installed, I wish I could run them without,BUT.... Here's with the seat all the way forward. from the drivers seat. More on the way of the drivers door.

more on the way here in a few hours.

I finally concurred the vinyl with the baddass glue and a roller. here's some picture's of the pods mounted with the drivers!!!!! I ran 1/4" bolts through the mounting ring in three places, all the way through the door metal and put a washer and metal lock nut on the inside. the bitch is SOLID. no moving way-so-ever. Its SO SEXY, I couldn't get enough of it!!!!!
