Punkey's Build Log

[Punkeyboozter 19]

Ok Guys,

Its been going on for a while, but I though it was time to put up some pictures. Just to let you guys know I dont have my own garage and most things have been imported. The problem is good gear are either redicilously exspensive or not availeble at all.

First Ill start with my old setup then move on to the work in progress.

Here she is in my garage.

Below was how it was before. (no comments lol) It is far from perfect hence the change. It played fairly clean, and loud ..mind you it was a bit peaky though.

Dont mind the words in the window. The pic was taken of our local forum after one of the meetups

More pics coming soon...

Managed to get a good deal on SP so my frnd helped me out. He cant speak a word of english but he knows his chit. And he cuts the roundest circles with a jig that I have ever seen EVER..

doors getting prepped at the same place.

here I started ripping things out in no particilar order.

here is an old pic of the gear that was in the car

an old VS new Pic

more pics coming soon cos I've been skimping of work to get things done over the festive season.

Thanks Ohio Gen and Guss for being the only people willing to help me from halfway around the word

Fuses that cost more then any one in their right mind should pay.

what batteries do you plan on running?

[Punkeyboozter 19]

what batteries do you plan on running?

here we dont get much choice, they dont even do optima down here any more. I will probably run something like a EFX. the biggest I can fit under the hood and another one of the same size for the boot. They are rated around 100 Ah should be enough right>?

any-way here are some more pics.

Here is a mock up of the box. This pic was taken last weak so I have made some changes and adjustments. notice the size of the box compared to the Booot. ...That just meens one thing

A sperm

Look at him; looking at me. Pain in the ass to get it in-and out of there ...no jokes.

Nice, I think those old Lanzar's were the ZED built models.

Looks killer

Nice, I think those old Lanzar's were the ZED built models.

so I have heard. they sound really nice and puts out the power, my only problem is that the 2000D is rated at 2000RMS but only comes with 4 guage terminals, needless to say that I made the ends on the cable a little black. Sold it just last week to fund the current project.

Im keeping the 200x4 though

[Punkeyboozter 19]

Looks killer

thanks guys. New pics coming soon

[Punkeyboozter 19]

as mentioned before the box is too big and need to be partially build in the car which meens I have to spray it piece-piece, I have some can skill

got these the other day OEM, not sure why but these things dont seem to last for me

*@#$%@#$

[Punkeyboozter 19]

Little update,

After numerous test fits and lots of cursing, it turned out that I can actually put the box in the trunk but its a long and painfull process.

how do you guys like my speaker terminals ....overkill sure; copper all-thread using size 12 nuts sweee

sligtly off next to the port, but i think it turned out all right seeing that I build it in the trunk for a large part of it. FYI if it was 1mm bigger it wouldnt fit ...so im as happy as a pig in sh!t

She aint completely done yet but its getting close

cables and accessories ordered..........check

subs ordered.........check How do you like $937.50 for 2 loaded BL's shipped?

Crazy I know, better be worth it, but that is the price you have to pay for living on a Island. Maybe this will give you an idea on the price of the other items.

[Punkeyboozter 19]

still dont know if this is a good idea and might have to move it later

here is she as it stands now. Just waiting for the subs to be delivered.

Just warning you man..

ya thx for the warning. actually the tint is pretty dark and at night you cant see it...during the day its covered up. I live in one of the safest places and arnt really too worried about the amp getting stolen. The law is very strict around here. What I am concerned about is the heat. Even thought the whole car is boiling when I park in the sun I am still worried about heat damage? will the heat actually harm the amp there?

Good looking setup so far. I really like the tweeter pods

Tint should help hiding the amp. I think it will suffer a bit from heat because it's more exposed to sunlight. Just be careful with it and it should handle it.

[Punkeyboozter 19]

Thanks guys for the motivation and input.....but the more I think about it the more I want to move the amp; sure its nice and out of the way, cable runs are nice and short etc...but im really worried about the sun couldnt touch the amp today.

Now I know its not good to mount the amp on the box but what If I double sided-tape here down?? should be enough to absorb most of the damaging vibrasions I think?

What do u guys think?

thanks, the guy that makes them do a really good job, but they come at a price. I can place you in contact with the creator should you so wish

Ok changed the the stock bat out for an Varta AGM ultra saw an idle voltage increase of .1-.2 volts. Dealership only had one so I will be picking up the second one later today.

Managed to do some cabling and installed one sub before it started raining. Those BL 12's are heavy buggers(certainly a two man job to install it when the sub is facing to the rear).

More pics to follow soon

!!! The end is near !!!
