Bring on the updates!!lol, iak!measure, cut, strip, crimp, soder, heat shrink.........repeat ! lolWith 40 to do I'm sure there will be more "repeats"!honestly bro, all 40 should not be used, but they are 10 packs, i always help out other local installs, so a few extra on hand is welcomed.the big three,(i always do 4), will be done in dual runs, so under the hood alone....block to frame ground = 4alt to frame ground = 4alt to battery positive = 4 battery to frame ground = 4battery negative going to rear = 2battery positive going to rear = 2 (the 4 in-line, anl fuse holders will not need ring terminals)there is 20 of those bad boys right there!then there is a trunk full too!coming out of the rear in-line, anl fuse holders going into the batteries positive = 2 battery 1 positive to battery 2 positive = 4coming out of battery positive into (3) circuit breakers = 6 *(3 amps)*coming out of circuit breaker going into amp positive = 3negatives coming from front battery into negative battery 1 =2battery 1 negative to battery2 negative =4 negative to amps from batteries = 3negative to chassis from batteries = 8 (preferance to be grounded in rear also still being pondered)thats 24 in the trunk .....i have 12 in the shed and 40 on the way... repeat*repeat*repeat* ................... lol
August 14, 201114 yr Author Sweet ride. Unwanted foam leakage sucks, I feel you pain.Figure out the front stage plans?What's up with the icon pamphlets? Team SSA?i am unofficially part of Team SSA....I rep them often on our local cruise strip and local shows.... for two years now, educating the masses! lolno, just informing folks of a sound alternative to some gear choices. i chose not to fully pursue the membership, until i have fully installed the Xcons.i have displayed the pamplet with three of the four SSA series subs for quite a while...Mark and Aaron know i am always representing them proudly.just on me to take the final steps.front stage, probably going to be in phases, as in trial and error basis.i think i am either tone def, or have picky taste,loli need loud, well i mean two 18" xcons behind my head, need loud enough to keep up nicely...i do not like harsh highs... and i love mid bass that can hit tight lil jabs to the kidneys and belch out vocals that tear right through the bass and still carry clarity......the doors and kicks are not truly 'ready' and waiting for custom upgrades....so here is my piss poor and hopelessly fail proof plan...start with equipment i can get close to what i think i like, slowly modding the areas needed to accomidate accordingly.....i think it will be a challenge for me to nail it the first few attempts, when i do, then i will fully coomit to the finished look.yes that means raw mdf and ruff glass projects for a short while, lolany input on acetone for foam leaks removal without harming the paint too much? jcthanks for the compliment!
August 14, 201114 yr Author If I have to count past 20, I'm out of fingers and toes!!lmao, iak brother....ha ha, the grandson has to help me out, he is the lil foreman on the job! gotta keep me on the right path.
August 14, 201114 yr It hurt to let those batts go but I know they'll be put to good use ........and the fact that they go to my lil brotha is what puts a smile on my face
August 14, 201114 yr As far as the foam on the paint, I would try to buff it out with a light cutting compound. You may need to re apply some clear coat then buff again.Based on your tastes a big 8"-12" midbass driver in each door along with a couple fullrange drivers (no dedicated tweeters) in the dash corners or a-pillars should make you happy
August 14, 201114 yr Boy bro, you got a lot of work ahead of you. If there's anything I might be able to do to help from all the way down here, just let me know! :drink40:
August 14, 201114 yr Lol man I think I used about 30 on my truck... But I have those bussbars and like 5 batts..Those terminals get used up quick!!Propane and solder lol
