Kram3r's Tahoe Build Log (DC audio)

[c0smo kram3r 0]

Hey guys. Going to go ahead and start up a build thread. This will be our first audio build, so I'm hoping it goes right. It's going to be for a 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 4x4. A little background on the truck: raised 3" with torsion keys, front brush guard, 33" BFG Mud Terrains, PA system, and straight pipes with 5" tips. What's going to be going in it:

Sub:

(1) 18" DC Audio Level 5

Amp:

(1) AudioQue AQ2200D

Rear Battery:

(1) Deaka 9A31

Front Battery:

(1) Yellowtop

Wiring:

Knu flex 60ft of 1/0 power wire (1 full run of pos & neg)

Knu RCAs (I noticed these came in a fancy little box... pretty nice)

Knu 8ga speaker wire

Headunit:

Pioneer AVIC-X910BT

So far all we have done is built the amp/battery enclosure. It goes between the two captain seats in the rear. We're still not quite through with it. Got to carpet it, and we got to put on the top, hinged piece. But some pictures:

If anyone likes this idea and would like my stechup design of it, I'd be more than willing to post it up.

The amp will mound on the left side of the box next to the battery.

Also, we have Khaotik enclosures designing the box right now. So hopefully, they should finish up soon, and we can start up the box build!

BTW, I'm getting 4x8 sheets of 3/4" MDF board from my local wood supplier for $9 a pop! He's got the lowest prices I've ever seen on it.
