All these promises of HQ photos better be worth it.. or else

AWWW just under 2 inches too short. Damn, i wish i would of thought of that... What would have worked perfectly.. I can always make a new one

OH! never thought of that. ill go measure!

Forgot to mention I grounded my RCAs yesterday as well. I think it got rid of the little alt whine I got at what seemed like random times. We will really see if it did anything when I use channels 3&4 on the 100.4. I think those are what made the most noise. That's all for today, thanks for lookin' out guys! comments are appreciated, good or bad. Tips or tricks

Put magnets on the board, figuring they would make it easy to remove if i needed to mess with anything. Nice! Started putting them on the false floor... not going so well... Second one was a bit better. Still not happy with the whole process, so i go grab a couple l brackets and get work done! Finished product. Not going to be the easiest to take out when i need to do something, but i'm satisfied with it. Now i just need to do the sides. Another day!

I know that i can't argue with stupid, so i let it be Can't see much of the amp under there anyways, i mostly want to get rid of the wire mess, and i can't do much about all the wires so ill just cover them up! haha working on it now. Updates later today, hopefully before work!

Should get a night pic. of the lights. Looks clean, I didn't even think that swap could be done. for you!

Ohjay didn't say that, he quoted the video. Makes it seem like he said that, don't think he wants that

What's goin' on?

I know how to wire the two batts together(+ to + fused about 12" from batts on both ends, - to chassis) but where would the cap go, assuming I'm not going to get rid of the cap all together? Would it be between the front and rear batt, or between the rear batt and the amp? If it's between the two batts do you need to put a fuse between the cap and rear batt? I would (already did in my past) ditch the cap. and just run batteries. BUT if you do want to keep it I don't think it would matter where it is, but i would put it after all the batteries before the amp. Without a fuse before/after it. I believe it's too small to worry about fusing around it. They really are SUPER tiny compared to even a small battery.

Did a little work today. Will finish tomorrow. Building a "beauty panel" to cover up the area below my box, hide the wire mess, 100.4 and battery. In the end i want to mount my Xovers and fuse holders to this panel to have a little "flash". Ran out of spray glue, only had 1/2 of a 3/4" side to cover so I'll go get some tomorrow along with some super glue to put magnets in place-what i want to hold the panel on with (ease of removal in case i change/tweak anything). Chose to go with the same color as my box. It looks good mocked up, but i wont post that image 'till tomorrow Side note... Went into town today real quick and on the way home i received another threat. I live outside city limits mind you. I was about 1/4 mile from home, playing my music, when i see some guy running down his driveway. Figured he was running across the road before traffic gets to him, there were a couple cars behind me a ways. He STOPS in the middle of my lane with his hands in the air. As i slow down to figure out what he's doing i turn my music off. He rushes me, leaning in my window complaining about how loud my music is and how the next time i drive by with it on i'm going to get a rock through my window. I didn't say anything and drove off, i was in a rush to get dinner before a movie anyways. Didn't need some dude stalling me any more. This is getting ridiculous, is it only me, or do you guys have this happen to you as well? I was nowhere near town, so i had no idea where this guy was coming from. Middle of the day (~5:00), not in a residential area, and still getting verbally assaulted for my music. I have said before, i understand I'm "loud" but I can't even listen to it at that levels on back roads? This guy had to of been breaking more laws than i was. People tell me i should make police reports when this happens. But i'd rather not deal with all that. Only if anything happens to my car will i go there.

second down on the left had side in the add, it's blue. Nope thats 4awg not 1/0. Thats why I asked The blue 1/0 is not listed My bad, never mind me!

Very nice

Putting in work! What amp?

Thanks. Well, I get one of these thingies under my avatar. Over there, obviously, and they threw in a pair of DC LV2 12s and a 1200 watt DC amp. Pretty cool. Very nice! what are ya' going to do with your new toys?

Congrats, what did you win?

send me the equipment and i'll let ya' know Close run, both great scores. Sundown powa'!

second down on the left had side in the add, it's blue.

Nice idea! Would definitely be handy.

I dont know what alt does go full tilt at idle..

Met with a local guy to show off what we have. He is running 2 DD 3518s on an American bass 175.1. Has 2 Optima batteries, 13 ft^3? tuned to 32 hz. 6" aeros. He is having DC power build a custom 200 amp alt for him which should be here in a couple weeks. Did it all himself, learning as we went i guess. Pretty chill dude, glad to have met someone with nice equipment in town that is as loud/louder than me It went as i thought it would. His lows kicked my ass, but i got him on the higher frequencies... i think. Need to spend more time in his truck and get a feel for everything. So i guess i can't say that i'm louder. Need to listen to a song that i'm used to hearing in my car. compare the two. Have a little look see. I was too excited to get everything on film, my bad! He says everything is for sale, so if you're really interested in anything i can get more info for you. This build is about a month old.

I think i expected more. But then again, i spent more time outside listening than inside. Think we listened to my car more as well. Should try and get him to take me for a cruise around town sometime. He needs more power, waiting on that alt. Voltage issues!

first time hearing an ICON?
