April 25, 201114 yr Author very nice start!! Might I suggest putting a radius around the outside of those ports!! just use a router bit, us a 1/2 or 3/4 radius bit and if you don't have one don't worry about it! and i love how you tossed out the back seats! lol yep don't need those I have a stereo system now! lol!was going to but couldnt find my roundover bit for the router Gotta get some steel and L brackets and secure that battery down, that string won't do shit if your in an accident.I like how you used that wood to make the floor level, super simple, yet I don't think I would have ever thought about that going to get my brother to fab some up at work for me so thatll be fixed in the next couple of days. and yeah it seem like the only way to be able to easy sucure the box to the truck.looks good, how do you like that battery?battery is good when you have it on an electrical that can charge it.
April 25, 201114 yr Your build isn't lookin bad at all! The work on the box is fantastic and the output of the XCON's is going to surprise you on that SAE-1200. My only problem is with your ground there ^^^. First rule is the paint needs to be removed under any ground, but you should really look into grounding down on a heavier point on the floor of the cab, or take the ground through a hole straight to the frame of the truck. Grounds are the most important connection on an amplifier, the better the ground the better it will perform. Keep up the great work!!

Keep up the great work!!thank you very much on the head up, i will try and find a better ground. i think i was just being lazy lol. but i need not to slack on that.Did you make your own terminals, as well? :drink40:what do you mean terminals??
April 25, 201114 yr the metal pieces that is put on the end of the wire to battery terminals, grounds, etc. that need a bolt to be put through to secure them.
April 25, 201114 yr I hope to hear this build. I was going to do a similar set up, but now I am not sure.
April 25, 201114 yr Author the metal pieces that is put on the end of the wire to battery terminals, grounds, etc. that need a bolt to be put through to secure them.oh no, i bought them off a guy on ca.com a while ago.I hope to hear this build. I was going to do a similar set up, but now I am not sure.well once this gets done im all up for a demo, i was just down in your neck of the woods two weekends ago.
