ok i spent the day gettin the PC itself dialed in, configuring COM ports for the 7 USB devices that are plugged in was a pain but it all works great!! I got the Navi and the OBD II Scanner working........also, since the built in DVD player (on the PC) is buried i decided to grab a External DVD player. I wanted to mount it in the dash but its just a little too deep......besides the console doesnt have any more room once the Alpine gets here. Anyway its accessable INSIDE the center console now. It will only be used probably........ummm never Its there in case programs need to be installed and stuff like that. Anyway here is the pics.

First thing first, the external DVD player needs A/C power to run.........so i grabbed a cigarette lighter power inverter i had layin around (brand new in package, nver used). I ripped it apart, hard wired it, and dedicated it just to the player......

I used EVERY USB port on the computer as well as all slots on a 4 port hub.......definitly lots goin on under the console

There is the actual PC DEEP inside the console I had to straight BUTCHER the hell out of the guts to get that thing in there

got the Navigation working........its so damn sweet. Lots of options on it. For some reason in only took this pic though.

Also, there is still plastic film on the screen.........u can see it pealing a little on the bottom corner. I wont take that off till im done of course.

You going to get Oki working on it or what?

[meade916 0]

heres what i got today......Alpine 9986 and a few AI net Items to make the Ipod and computer feed into the deck. It works so damn good!!

[meade916 0]

FINALLY got to route the RCA, Remote and Cat 5 cable to the console!! (coming from the rear and strung under the truck up into the cabin). Feels good to get that done!

Steve, whats keeping the subs from working in that video, like what do you have left before you let those wang?

[meade916 0]

thanks!!

Grim: ummmm i think the neighbors are holding the bass back not the system :D

the bass works i just couldnt let it rip at the time i was filming. That was the first time though i have ever had mids/highs and bass at the same time (even though the mids and highs were a 10" and a 4" coaxle on the floor lol)

i had to test the deck and all those wires i just ran from the back......make sure the right signals were coming from the right wires. Its starting to get complicated now that the 3sixty is in full use since there is all kinds of different stuff going on and that is BEFORE i start tuning

[Grim 0]

Ahhh i see, good choice on that one lol.

I just hadnt seem them run yet and thought maybe there was still work to be done before you ran the bass..

I have to say this setup is amazing. I thought that from the beginning but now...i dont even know what to say, its just beautiful work. I really like to see people do what you do to keep it clean. I thought i was the only one who was that anal about my wiring jobs.

[meade916 0]

if you look close enough, you will see i do have some test-run vids with the 8 18's......

It was rainin, it was pourin but this old man wasnt snorin.......i was out there workin

here is todays update. Oh ya, the weather out here in cali made short work of my RF banners.....damn!!

[meade916 0]

how bout this for a stealthy Bass knob.......what WAS and still APPEARS to be a cigarette lighter is now something entirely different

[meade916 0]

the gaps were big so i needed some sort of backer for the Flex Filler

i decided to use some plastic from earlier "butchery" This give me something solid to toss the mud onto instead of "free-Airing" it or using duct tape (which works too but i wanted something more solid here).

AFter cleaning it, Some plastic prep was applied.....

[meade916 0]

ive had enough for today, tomorrow, MORE sanding

[coobies5 43]

looks wicked

and the bass knob on the cigarette adapter....thats pretty unique

[meade916 0]

just a little sanding tonite nothing too exciting.....i still have more to do but my hands are raw. These two pieces are sanded to 600 so they are gettin real smooth

next i need to finish the dash piece sanding and then shoot them. Probably gloss black. Then i can move on to other stuff.....

[KickinAudio 5]

that bass knob is pimp!! Very creative Steve
