You planning on running each off a BC2000?

So far the plan is to run them 1ohm each and upgrade to 1/0 OFC and get a couple more diehard batteries and another volt meter

[frogcase2002 393]

Ethos yet?

[antoinez28 62]

Not yet almost here had a set back...

[antoinez28 62]

Just got this next to nothing on craiglist for cheap guest I start install my amps tomorrow too

I have one brand new in the package still. I also have a 16?ton hydraulic crimper. Boy do I love that thing lol.

[Lee Carter 150]

Used a hammer crimper on my suzuki install,  have hydraulic one I am using on the Avalanche.  either will get the job done. 

 

Tuned in for the progress!

[antoinez28 62]

Well nothing yet. I want to buy a hydraulic crimper....but I did try these plastic paint spray did not like it. Real hard to peel the tape off once your finish with the stripe, but it gives me a idea on how I want my paint job to be.

I also did the front and back bumpers

[antoinez28 62]

So today I was working on running an extra run on 1/0 + and running the ground from the battery to the back instead of grounding it in the back so it will be a total of 3 runs of power and 3 runs of ground....so while uninstalling the ground ( under the driver side passenger frame area) I notice that the ground was super corroded just broke right off once I touch it...I guess I should of rubberized that area do to the fact that it would be exposed to moisture...I will post pics once at work ... I'm still learning

[antoinez28 62]

[nadcicle 77]

Yah, closed end connectors from now on. CCA doesn't seem to do well at all with the elements to begin with. I'd look to investing in ofc and getting crimp lugs instead. They have the option of solder or Hydro crimping and will not do this.

[antoinez28 62]

Yeah that's what I'm going to do sell all my cca 1/0 and out it towards some 2/0 ofc...

Just started wiring up the amps so all I have to do is wire the subs and tune...

[Sencheezy 689]

Where are you bringing up the power wire at? I'm trying to figure out how I want to re-wire my tahoe in the future as well.
