July 8, 200916 yr Author alright well i just installed the voltmeter and i have to say i like it. nice display and really easy to figure out.... installing it was a pain but i'll get to that later.. but i have like 15+ pics to put up later but i don't have time right now.. i have a football thing so i will put them up when i'm in for the night.. someone please acknowledge lol.. leave me some posts so i don't feel like this is sort of pointless
July 9, 200916 yr Author ok so today i got out of work early and had some time to install my voltmeter.. it went pretty well but still took me a bit... haha it took me soooooo long to find a good ground it was ridiculousi did a clean job but need to put away some more wires and solder the remote wire once i wire up my amp.. anyways here it istell me what you guys think Edited July 9, 200916 yr by mbarber25
July 9, 200916 yr Author good location to mount the meterthanks.. i wanted it near the HU but it would of been sloppy and a pain to find a ground and a place to hide the wires.. i drilled right through those button patches or whatever i forget what they're called
July 10, 200916 yr Author is that wire mashed in there? looks good other than that. good numbers there.yea that's the wiring i mentioned.. will be fixed eventually
July 10, 200916 yr Author alright another thing checked offbig 3here's some pics...positivealternatorabove the radiatori wanted to take more but the wiring blends in with everything because its gray and there's not much out in the open anyways
July 10, 200916 yr Niceeee.Everything is coming in next week. Dynamat. Knu 1/0. And btl will be making a build log!Keep puttin pics up!
July 10, 200916 yr Author so i need some opinionsbut first here's a couple more picsdynamat i installed a couple months back when my last setup was still functional lolneed some on the top leftunderneath the liner behind the rear seats---boy was that part fun same place
July 10, 200916 yr good job man, would you like to do my trunk (just playing), enjoying the build so far
July 10, 200916 yr Author Niceeee.Everything is coming in next week. Dynamat. Knu 1/0. And btl will be making a build log!Keep puttin pics up!has your tracking status changed at all?
July 10, 200916 yr Author oh and here's some more dynamat i forgot about but these pictures also refer to the opinions i want and needwhere you see the tape measure is where i was thinking of mounting my amp (Sundown SAZ-2000D).. i also came up with the idea to cut out a decent size peice of MDF about an inch longer and wider than the amp on all sides and gthen wrapping the MDF in carpet or painting it. i would mount the MDF to the seats so that they are permantely together instead of folidng down in seperate sections. i already measured it all up and i have enough roomi was going to mount the amp on the box but it's a little too sketchy for me so i came up with this instead. i believe this is the safest spot before putting the amp in the cabin with me haha- first i want functionality, then style is secondi think this a pretty good idea.. what do you guys think?just gotta make sure its mounted perfectly so it fits nicely between the hatch to the trunkamp dimensions: between 21"-22" longbetween 10"-11" wide2.25" talloverload me with responses i know it's not big dave's but humor me
July 10, 200916 yr or just go to home depot and buy a black shelf board like i did (it will save you the time cutting and painting), works out just the same. I have my board holding my two amps for my mids & tweeters
