nope, we had the T15k for the subs originally........we bought the second cuz we wanted a matching mids/high amp. I am splitting the amps into left and right though.......this way they both share the load when the subs start demanding juice instead of one amp struggling while the other cruises on tweeters LOL. Basicly one amp is left (subs, midbass, midrange, tweet) the other is right (subs midbass midrange and tweet). it sounds spectacular and its still flat on the 3sixty.2 sounds like an outdoor concert, it just screams! Im about to make a short vid to show you guys......gimme' a few

just now clockin out for the evening......all the mids/highs are OFFICIALLY HOOKED UP!!! They sound INCREDIBLE!!! Vids tomorrow for sure!! if you want to know how much power i am using total, here it is. Mids/tweets hooked up @ .67 ohms. my guess is that is around 3,000 per channel. Im using 2 channels for those. So 6,000 watts. Midbass is hooked up @ 1 ohm. That is 2000 watts per channel. So 4,000 watts. subs are hooked up @ .5 ohms per channel...That is full power 3750 per channel.....so 15,000 watts. totals: 10,000 on mids/highs 15,000 on subs. do i have enough mids and highs to handle 10k, probably not.........but ive got so much headroom its crazy and these things SCREAM!!! Sounds clean as a motha#$%cka too!! Dont forget not only are these the biggest car amps out there, according to the "powercube" results, this is also one of the cleanest amps out there too wiring madness part 2

New 2008 BTL Video.... A little preview
No the sub isnt playing yet, i only have 2. The other 2 get here monday and i WILL make a vid of them moving........this is just a video perspective of what they look like instead of the pics i posted. It looks bigger in the video i think. Anyway its a little something i tossed together so you can see another view of it.

So i jam home as fast as i can only to be greeted with 2 subs. i guess im not playin with them tonite. ill post pics in a few, im eatin lunch frustrated....if i knew only 2 were comin i wouldnt have kissed the bosses ass to leave and run 3 stoplights to get home..

easier said then done.....1db is major at this level. I just want it to sound killer as a package (mids highs etc), look good, and with the bonus that it can do that 160 if need be. this is not a db-dragster......its 2.5-3db louder then my tahoe and the owner (chicken) wont even sit in that so i think he will be happy

i dont know....i dont care. I touched a '60 and added a ton of mids/highs to go with it.....im happy with it the way it is

time for some Hush Mat Ok i used foam inserts to keep the 10's and 6.5's from mixing......the 6.5 foam pads were a pain in the ass and were not lettin me sink the speakers in as deep as i wanted so i took them out. The 10" pod is still there and i think thats all ill really need anyway...

that is only HALF of the wiring, from the distribution to the inputs. I still have all the outputs to wire up....

OK i spent some time during the week running crossover wires from the distribution blocks. Today, i got the armrests back from being dyed to match the suede. I layed 2 layers of Hushmat before i got started. The Passenger door, i am happy to say, is 100% done Here is just some of the weeks "labor". OH ya, did i mention the seats are out for Leather and Suede? This is the last time you will see them tan. Slowly but surely all the tan and brown inside the hoopty will be gone

worked on the driver door today.......everything is X2 in this truck, always gotta be a right and a left side to everything and since its so much damn work, i feel i can post pics of the other side, even though its exactly like the other side i also managed to get the wiring harness on the panel. Wires cut to length, tweeter wires soldered and heat shrunk. Mid wires go directly into the speaker terminals so no need to solder. Anyway the back of the panel isnt as clean as the front.......its all business back there LOL. a close up to show the texture of the material. Now can you see the beauty in the Molex Plugs Soon, i will plug it in and call it done......hassle free just waiting on the armrests and window button housing.....being dyed to match the graphite grey inserts. Probably next week when i get back from Florida

bottom glassed in as well.........i would say its pretty solid now This is how i am turning 4ga mids and high wire into speaker wire for the doors (i know its not necessary but its a long run to the back by the amps and it looks cleaner back there then 50 16ga speaker wires jammed into the T15k terminals ) a couple shots of the door again to end the evenings pics
