fuse question
ABXX49 replied to smashedz28's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
How long is the wire you're fusing and what gauge is it? -
I got the left side of the front done. I have to go to work now, but will finish the right side and the top panels tonight. Pics to come soon!
-
Awesome install man! You've got talent!
-
Going to pull some old case fans and get my front panel done until my new fans come in.
-
You'll be fine. Assuming he didn't prod it hard enough to bend it..lol. Now had he done that while it was playing music, you could have rocked the coil and had some serious issues. **Take your hand on the cone and press down firmly enough to compress the suspension a LITTLE. Listed and see if you hear any rubbing sounds coming from the coil against the pole piece or magnet.
-
Looking good! You're going to be loud. Just out of curiosity, why did you end up using the PAP WMDS?
-
Battery. Within the first 18" of wire, a fuse. Wire back to distro block. Fust IMMEDIATELY after the distro block. Then to the amps. You'll need 2 sets of RCA cables. You've got the right idea.
-
After those are glued down, I'm cutting a hole in the top large enough to put the amps in. Then I'm building another panel to cover that which will be held down with magnets. EDIT: Spelling error.
-
Note to all box builders: Never throw away your scraps! I've made this ENTIRE thing out of scraps I had left over from my entertainment center. The top, as seen above, is four separate pieces that are all cut to the same size. They'll be held down by Titebond and brad nails with a common support beam running all the way across the back on the bottom of the overhang.
-
Okay, got a little more done today. These pieces are NOT glued down. I need to wait for my fans before I glue anymore.
-
It might be tough to find one like mine used. Luckily, m5 had one used. I'll have reviews on EVERYTHING once the whole system is done.
-
I haven't. I need to get the floor done and the amps mounted first. I can't use those speakers without the amplifiers and I can't use the amplifiers with out the new HU it. And I can't have music until I have the amps in if I put the new HU in...lol So it's going to be a big all at once thing once the floor gets done.
-
Thanks Jay, I've been watching yours too! I've got some really neat stuff planned for this one, so make sure you don't turn your head!
-
Well the fans and magnets won't be here for 5-10 days, and I can't do anything until then.
-
Ugh. I want a Leviathon so bad..
-
**Just ordered some Neo magnets and 4 fans.
-
Okay, here is the start of my amp rack/false floor. Titebond, clamps, and brad nails. You need NOTHING more.
-
It's rough, like I said. I've already made a few changes in the first few steps
-
Started the false floor tonight. We'll see how far I get. I'll make sure I have pictures up tonight for you whores.

Looking for a good front stage

You're probably not going to want to purchase prefab kick panels either. You'll want to glass them. -
Getting license soon, any random ideas for stereo setup and design
ABXX49 replied to gadgeteer123's topic in Off Topic
How about taking your rears and moving them to the front on a custom baffle. That way you'll have the larger, louder speakers in the front and you can finally ditch the rears. -
Here is a little Sketch-Up I did tonight. It's really rough, but it's the general idea of what I have planned. I want to hide my equipment as much as possible. I did a little thinking and searching and found a temperature controller for a PC that I'm going to wiring in with a relay. The holes in the front of the rack will house PC fans that will only run when it reaches a certain temperature.
-
I'd shy away from that one. If you want a quality unit, you'll have to pay for a quality unit. That's something you're not going to want to cheap out on.

Looking good man! Keep going strong!
