Thanks man. 

 

 

 

 

More updates. Crimpers won't be here until Tuesday, which I'm still pissed about... I planned getting my big three and few runs done today...  But good news is, my MechMan elite 370a alt will be here Tuesday. Which I paid for on Wednesday, so that's what I call service! I'm excited. So I'll be busy this week. Next weekend, some wood should be going in :)
 
Also I got my avh-x5500bhs in. It's an amazing unit. No homo. Just on stock speakers, the sound is night and day different. Streaming bluetooth audio is great. CD is even better. I still need yo ground the parking brake line, hook up the "reverse light" wire, backup camera and aux cable lol. I'm really liking it so far. 
 
 
Had to scrap all the dash kit crap. I picked up some metal strapping or plumbers tape. I didn't like how flimsy it was. I found some "J-hook" straps we on wood poles to do cable drops. It about three times as thick, so much more strength. I only took two pics. I was just focused haha. 
 
Kind of temped with wire nuts. Eventually I'll solder and shrink tube it. You can see where I added some bolts to low portion of the opening. Secured in with epoxy. Hopefully they stay in when I unbolt them lol.

I don't feel like build the dash bezel, so mustache tape to cover up the mounting.

oh hell no!!!  I know I did not see wire nuts in that pic.  If you don't wanna solder (I never do) get a pair of these.  Best crimps on the market.

Woooo. More progress. My 10 ton crimpers and 370a MechMan alt came in today :) I'm freaking wore out. Everything took way longer than expected but oh well. Alt works great. Had a battery light for a second but it worked out. Looks like I'm almost charging at 15v. Got Three + and - leads to my front battery. Used that FA 00g wire. Which was a bitch. But it's silver tinned ofc!

 

Dem boxes :)

Might redo the run that's kind of exposed, but it's tight.

One of my pre crimps of the diyma 0ga terminals. They'll probably like 3/0 or 4/0 lol

Austin, I love. Only thing I don't like. I miss having a volume knob lol. But other than than. Damn. It surpasses all my expectations. Definitely worth the price. 

 

Thank you Axe

Is the song box chevy by yelawolf? if so good song choice. part 2 is a lot better in my opinion though. 

On topic, I like this build a lot, looking forward to seeing this pan out.

More updates. 

 

Got 8 runs of 0ga front to back done. Have a few more things I want to do to become more comfortable with it. It was bitch to run on the exhaust side plus the 4wd. Nothing is easy in this mofo. 

 

Getting it stripped down

20130411_205105_zps3703ab64.jpg

 

Foam

20130411_205158_zpsda6b3036.jpg

 

Cutting it open!

20130420_1238161_zpsec13d9c9.jpg

 

Yes, they're as long as they look. 

20130420_133902_zps6e584c89.jpg

 

Ground runs

20130420_154221_zps8d7c8652.jpg

 

One of those runs is strait off the alt.

More to do. Needed to up grade the highs bad. 

20130421_145156_zpsee29d947.jpg

 

Putting the tweeter in the stock location. 

20130421_151723_zps4846fc4d.jpg

 

This was fun. The tweeter wires are the nice blue ones. 

20130421_151731_zps2178f777.jpg

 

The stocks are a little beat up.

20130421_154306_zpse2aacb76.jpg

 

Much better :)

20130421_170240_zps6111cc0a.jpg

 

Got that redneck going. 

20130421_193144_zps7b920995.jpg
