Have been planning this for a lil while now. Being busy with school and what not, it has been a long time coming. I finally started the other day though.

Just a heads up: Being in college full time, with a ton of papers coming up soon, this will not be a fast build. Just gonna work on it when I can between class, gf, and other things until its done.

What's going in:

4 DP21"s

4 SAZ-3000d's (new heat sinks)

Maxx-Link

200+ ft. Tsunami Competition 1/0 (5+ 5- runs back)

9 Deka 9a31's (1 up front, 8 in back)

1 DC Power 270 amp alt (for now)

4th order designed by iamamp3pimp

Other misc. things

All in an '03 Expedition XLT

Big thanks to Robin for the design. Since this will be my first big 4th (2nd ever), I'm glad he could help me out with it.

Pics uploading.

Gutting process. And my dad getting the golf cart ready for a sub lol.

I'll be so happy to get that rats nest cleaned up.

Bolting down to where the seats were bolted down to.

Subs

Don't ask, guess I was just bored or something lol.

Amps

Crimping my old 1/0 for redoing my big 3.

I love my new crimpers so much that I decided to hack saw a terminal in half to see how it looks (this one was actually not a very good one compared to my new ring terminals and after having some experience). Ended up hitting my thumb and slicing half way up my thumb nail lol...And sorry, the pic's crappy. But it looks like a solid chunk of copper that's fused together. Hydrolic crimpers ftw.

Deka up front.

Voltmeter

Gonna have to come up with something to cover this at night.

this will be head knockin'. LOTS of pics is a good way to start a build log, SO keep the pictures coming'.

Is the volt meter really THAT bright? Looks like a good start, i've always wanted to try a bandpass enclosure. What alt(s) you runnin?

Tuned in for this!

Test fit for the buss bars on the back battery bank. I kinda just wanted to see how they looked back there too. They will be in a box with a cover when finished.

Thanks to wgsj_fortvalley/PeachtreeCustomz for the front and back buss bars.

Haha ya, I like pics. My gf laughs at me because I will do one or two things then take pics, then do it again lol.

YES it is lol. And I've grown to like BP's since I build my gf one. That was the first one I had ever built, and it was for two 10"s. This will be my second....And it's a DC Power 270 amp, I forget the model number, I got it like two years in that Christmas drawing that they had and am just now getting around to putting it in lol.

Wire

First two runs back, 8 more to go.

I've had my old power wire ran under like that for over a year now with no problems. No drilling through the firewall and stuffing it under carpet ftw.

That's all my progress up to today. Hopefully I'll run a couple more runs back tomorrow depending on when we get back from on the boat.

Since I've never built inside the car before, does anyone have any tips or advice on gluing, screwing, glassing, mounting, etc...?

Here are a couple of previous setups I've had in the Expedition, from earliest to latest.

This was in for a lil while until we put it in my gf's car.

My last setup in my Explorer before I got my Expedition. Sorry about the shittyness, they were taken with a Razor back in the day lol.

Damn, dude! That looks like some pricey shit youve had over the years huh? All JL Audio? Nice setups.

This new build will be sweet. Keep the pics comin!

Ya, all that JL was quite expensive lol. Thankfully I was sponsored by a local shop and got it all at like 40% off, or something like that.

And thanks, I'm looking forward to see how it does. I'm actually out working on it now lol.

already lookin great. i'm tuned .

Here's a pic of the truck itself.

Grommet, it's dirty down there.

Another hole cut and filed down a lil.

Fuse holders will be screwed to the battery rack somewhere, haven't decided exactly where yet.

Gotta find a way to coordinate all the wire when it's all in.

A good chunk of the first roll used.

That's all I got done today.

I didn't get to get started till like 4, there was a "The Universe" marathon on lol. So I only got about an hour or so in between that and working on my gf's car.

wow !!! interesting ...

Don't think you have enough batteries though ... NOT !!! lol great work ...

Thanks.

And I was messing with my dad and gf about the batteries. Once I had them all in I said that I just had to get the other half in. They were both like wtf. I told them that I was gonna do a rack above the ones that are in and get 8 more. I had them going for like 5 minutes lol.

I bet the expressions on their face when you said that was priceless.
