Ya, but I left my camera at my moms. I fail as these build log things...this is like my 4th one haha.

Ok so I have updates. Happening tonight and tomorrow all day Building kicks for Punch 6.5, one tweeter mounted coax, one mounted in A-pillar. Running 0/1 for Sundown SAE1200D Installing 170 amp alt. Big 3 all in 0/1 Testing LED's for gauges, dome lights, courtesy lights etc... Installing front components. Ripping out shitty audiopipe RCA's that were pre-ran when I got the car. Installing Knukonceptz Krystall 4 channel 6 meter RCA's =] Mounting head unit a little more securely (bracket came loose a couple days ago..) Installing SAE1200D Building amp rack under storage compartment (when the 3rd seat folds down, the flap locks) This weekend- Ripping out headliner and re-doing it. Bought a lvl4 xl motor and basket (Thanks DCexplorer, Ordering recone Thursday) Starting box (somewhere around 6-7^3ft at 35ish hz most likely) Box will completely fiberglassed on inside with inch and 3/4 dowl rod support, all corners 45'd with wood, and topped with resin puddle covers. Kerfed port, double layer face, smoothed, sanded and painted. I have a half gallon of black and clear chillin' at the parents house lol. Might as well use it. Ya so I change my mind about what I'm doing with the wagon like I take showers (twice a day) lol. BUT This is final, I already have the 1200D chillin under my bed, and the lvl4 xl should be shipped soon. I started kicks today after work, and I'm working on the wagon non-stop tomorrow since I am off work.

Well... I was going to build a T-line. But Looks likes I gots me an 18' Hahaha. Should ship friday and be here next week my nukka's. I'll give some hints on what it is. Its 18' rated at 1500rms Man I change my mind on my system like I take my contacts out. Every damn night lol. =]

Ya that is a good point, I do need to learn the car a little first. It just sucks going from 2 18's walled of, so 2 8's, then to 2 10's lol...staying at the bottom of the totem pole for now.

Crappy update. Dude couldn't hold the 15's till the end of the month.. =/ So no BIG system for now. I will keep working on the body, and get it ready for primer and paint and what not. Headliner I will probably do next week when I get a day off, I just got a new job so I don't need to request off or anything for a while. Most likely going to order two RE SE 10's next week. I wana try building a T-line pretty bad, and I have a Sundown 1200D sitting in my room doing nothing so why the hell not? It's probably going to be a good while before the 4 15's or 18's come into play, so this is whats going down for now.

Since I'm short of money, and I have materials for the body work I might as well start it.. One rust spot sanded down and ready for filler. First layer on and sanded, I sanded most of it off to see how it stuck in the pits where the rust was eating...stuck in there good. Third coat of filler on. This was right after I put it on, I leveled it with 100 grit and the DA, then 150 and hand smoothed at 220. Then primer to stop the rust from coming back. You can't really see it, since the pics were with my camera phone, but my tape line could have been better. I also didn't have the right tape on hand, so blue painters tape was the pick at hand, so my line is a bit thick, but nothing some spot sanding to smooth it out can't fix when I paint the hole car.

What do you guys think about that trade?? 3 HC2000's for 2 turbostart 16v's and the charger??? straight trade.

It's gonna be a week or two on 15's. I got rent to pay =[ If it was the first of the month I would have all of them. BUT. Opinions... Trade 3 Kinetik HC2000 for 2 Turbostart 16v batts AND the charger for them. STRAIGHT trade, turbostarts are floating at 15.7 apiece. I'm going to be running a dual charging system, 250 amp 18v alt, and a 170 amp 14v alt (already have it). If I get the 2 turbostarts, I can get more powermaster S1000 16v batts from mechman pretty cheap since they came out of a show car. Then get the 250 amp 18v alt from him also later on down the road. The 14v alt will be in the stock location, then the 18v will be in the smog pump location (not required in Arkansas, no inspection) and the only the 18v alt will do is charger the 6 16v batts and run the diablo 8.1 =] The 170 amp alt will run the car, and my mids and high amps. Tell me what you guys think on the trade.. PS - Listened to the 15's today before he takes them out...and man they pound..running on a Cadence Z9 at 1/2 barely flexin'...can't wait to see them movin at 10Kw i have an 83 olds same pully system i have two alternators also except i put the smaller alt at the smog pump and my 350 amp in the factory location i was thinking about where to put my third one my ac still works. i was going to put it right beside my 350 amp and fab a bracket up to hold it. if you know how to take an alt apart u could build your own for cheap with an adjustable reg so if you decide to run 12 volt or 16 volt u can use the same alt. when i say cheap i mean around 290 for 350 reliable amps. u just need to find a core at a junk yard doesnt need to work as you will be replacing almost everything inside it. I was told if you do multiple setups in our type cars (3 v belt system) that you don't need to put do multiple alt brackets unless you even it out. Say you did 3, One in stock, one in smog pump, and one in A/C. So that you have the same belt load. My 18v alt will be in the smog pump, and I'm keeping my A/C once I get a new compressor since this one is locked up.

Got the deck and SAX100.4 wired in. I've already lost the output on the Swiss audio 3 way components that are in the far back C pillars. It's either something with the Crossovers or the RCA's. I'm pretty sure it's the RCA's because they are cheap as shit, and I know my 100.4 is fine. I have a set of Krystal 6 meter 4 channel RCA's on the way from Kunkonceptz. Should be here Wednesday I think. I'll get pics up in the morning, along with the (4) 15's if I pick them up tomorrow.

Double post because I can't sleep. I've decided on a dual charging system consisting of 3 alternators. One 170 amp alt in the stock location for the car, and mid and highs amps to run off of for the 12-14 volt system. Then If possible I will do 2 18v alts in the A/C and smog pump locations to charge a rear battery bank consisting of most likely powermaster 16v batteries that will run the inferno 8.1 ONLY. Time to start saving money =[

Will do, I'm picking the car up tomorrow morning or in the afternoon when I get off work. Hopefully they finished everything up on the car already so all it needed was the carburetor finished and put back on so I can get it in the morning... I'm most likely going to start some body work tomorrow on the passenger side before I take her out of town. The rust on the passenger side is pretty bad unfortunately, although it's only surface rust, so nothing some sanding, filling and primer can't fix. Just ordered some Knukonceptz 4 channel RCA's for my Sundown 100.4 Pics tomorrow!

Updates. So...I put the car in the shop as soon as I got it. Need spark plug wires, carburetor rebuild, and valve cover gaskets. I knew of all these things except the carb when I got the car. It's been in the shop all weekend because he had to order parts for the carb, so I didn't get too do the headliner, and then I got bored and thought too myself "I've never soldered a cd harness before, just crimp caps, lets do it!" Oh ya, Knukonceptz RCA's on the way, and I'll have the (4) RD alpha 15's next week. Pics Getting things ready (I had already butt connected the wires so I had to cut them again) Ground and Switched 12volt wired All that was left of the wire off the fuse on that side So off with it and on with new wire! All done Buttoned up! Keep in mind this is the first thing I've soldered since I did my 0/1 lugs for my wall in the cutlass, and that was with a blow torch and some thick solder. Been a while since I picked up an actual iron.

Wagon + 6 15's = FTMFW! I'll have 4 of them next weekend, then I'll order the other 2 later. Plan is RD Alpha 15's

Well...technically Texas and Arkansas. Lived on Arkansas side for 18 years, and now I'm on the other side..lol Taking the car in for a tune up today, and to check all the fluids, hoses, check for leaks, etc. Like I said I know the compressor is locked up, but an alternator is going there, and it needs spark plugs I'm sure. I'll update this afternoon around 5 when I get off work and pick her up.
