Well I totally re did my cap bank and amp wiring hope I never have to to that again.

Also going to try a different ohm load on the subs. Quentin should have the parts out when he has some available time.

The final layout... For today anyway. As I stated, the entire bank is reconfigured. Hoping it's more efficient for the amps to pull from.

Turned the amps to work better with the new configuration and hid most of the wires this way.

Ironically no, but sound deadener is.

And for me, above the window line either.

Covering up the vents I've gained a few tenths.

I've seen judges take a vehicle apart to make sure it is up to specs (so to speak) if there is a discrepancy.

many years ago, but it has been done.

Been busting ass on this truck doing testing and trying new things.

I have my first show since Oct. 2012 coming up this weekend. Going to attempt a few WR runs. Most importantly I get to see my good Homie BigJon. It's been a while!

Had to put a little cover on the bed to protect the goodies from getting wet if it rains.IMAG0870_zpsh2nwnllu.jpg

Nice to see this project hitting the goals you set. Like your previous SPL build this is gong to be a fun ride to see where this goes.

I still feel like there is more potential.

Suppose o should post my best so far before more changes are made. Little higher than I led on in previous posts.

Ethos doing work!

Clamping 4400 clean, or almost clean watts to each sub, no sweat.

Are you still having issues with the B2s making power? Ive really been looking at switching to the zero.7's but if they don't do as well as expected, it might not be worth it.

B2 amps are finicky and require a vary very low input voltage. Tbat problem is solved. It kept going into protect.
