Daily Driver Lumina

[sefugi 166]

Replaced my daily driver with a '96 Lumina(my pawpaw car as my son calls it), but I got a good deal and I needed some decent transpo for back and forth to work. Seems everyone in my family has a nice ride but Dad. Oh well, my time will come. Not doing anything crazy here, just some simple tunes to make my commute to work a little more enjoyable. This has been done on the cheap with some simple stuff, but will give the guys my son keeps attracting an idea what they can do without breaking the bank. Some of this install has already started and hope to have it all completed by the end of the week. Beginning pics uploading now...

It would be cool to let your son do the install for you

[sefugi 166]

OK so to start with here is the car lot at my house. The Lumina, T-bird, and in the center is what I'm working towards old square body Blazer.

I'd like that, but he has so much stuff going on right now I wouldn't get to enjoy it for months.

Got my subs and enclosure from Don Ganso when he sold his items from this build.

Have wanted some SA-8's since I saw them being used here on the forum.

They were just as they were new, Thanks Don Ganso!

Sweet, something about sa8s I just love.

I new they were pretty beefy, but you just don't know till you get one in your hands.

Yep, I just imagine an sa12 on a 8" basket. Sa12s were pretty beefy and stiff suspension

I used a peice of the 1/0 welding cable that I have for the power feed to the rear and the rest of the Big 3 I used some leftovers from my son's build. Don't want to get to deep into what I've been collecting for the Blazer build. The 150 amp breaker is all I had available at the time to use for fusing, if it holds up ok and if not I'll replace it with something else. So the Big 3 is done and rca's are all run. I'll be getting the amp rack set up tommorow, if time permits.

You have been so good to others and I am really happy to see you doing something selfish for a change. Tuned in for your progress tho I really doubt you and simple will coexist for very long. HaHa

All that said I wanna see that Blazer build go down.

quick work on the lumina man... looks good so far. I second Lance about your version of "simple" ...

Simple will have to work for this project, wife has been watching pretty close lately and as you stated I want the Blazer build to go down. And I want it to go down without the BS the wife can dish out when she finds out what I plan to do with it.

Beleive me this will be simple, I just need some tunes and transportation while I focus on the real Sefugi Project. Of course I'm sure I'll be playing with a few other things in the process!

She has the feeling now, she has come and looked over my shoulder twice in the last ten minutes.

Used a peice of mdf and some carpet I had left over from the FlyBoy S10. Got the amps somewhat spaced out like I wanted. I'm using a Sundown SAE-1200 recently reworked at dB-r for the subs and a Pheonix Gold V745 for the mids & highs.

[sefugi 166]

Completed all the wiring on the amp rack so it can be mounted. Installed a relay for remote for the amps, just always have liked using a relay for the remote wire. Will be feeding the power and the ground from the back of the amp plate through studs to the amp mount side.

Looking great sefugi! Sundown ftw!!!

I think I am going to patiently wait for the Sundown Z v.3 to go into production then I will have Sundown goodness as well

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Looking Good Mang!!

I always use a relay too. For less than $2, why not.

Thanks! This will be my intro to "using" Sundown products even though I have a stack of Sundown in the garage waiting.

Nice clean install as always. I like your idea to use studs to go through.
