I agree x2. Awesome build, I'm going to use the perfection here and transfer it to my 04 cavvy. And hopefully do some sort of father/son project won't be near as nice because neither of us have any experience doing installs, but I am going to gleen as much knowledge from the ssa forums and people like you to help with my build.

Thanks for all the great detail, time, and elbow greese!

Thanks so much for the kudos!!! I think it's great you & your Dad want to do a build together, just try your best to lay out a plan and then execute with patience.

You guys are not that far a away from us, if you need some type of help let us know maybe we can get together. :fing34:

Yeah, sure I'd love to meet-up and see some nicer builds. I've never been able to see an actual system installed and it'd be great to see yours. My build wont be near as nice as your's but I would like a 1/2 decent build. Something to take with me to college and pop the trunk and not be ashamed. :fing34:

This build was awesome to read through. Worth losing sleep over before class in the a.m. :sleepwerd4: Everything looks so nice. I really liked the substage install and the clean wiring. I need to make the hour drive over to p-cola and have you hook me up with a nice wiring install :).

Again, great job on the entire project! You guys have a real talent for it.

Nice build for sure couple of things I would suggest is I didnt see the alternator output but in the back for 5000 ish watts I would have done a larger bank and in the build process put in tabs so you could maintain the bank in back easily without having to tear it apart at all.

Well I'm guess that's it... Couldn't you make it fly or something? :morepower1:

GREAT job and "Awesome car"... Maybe that's a good name for it? The Awesome Car?

Seriously though, amazing build and glad you had a great time!

Major props to ya! :fing34:

Sorry for the slow responces....Have had a lot on my plate lately.

Thanks, have run into a little problem before I was able to get a walk around vid....

Thanks, we did upgrade the alt. from the factory 75 amp to a 150. The bat. bank is easily accessable by folding down the back seat with no tear down.
