They can also be bought at pretty much any Office Max/Depot or store that sells drafting and art supplies.

bump! any updates Meade??

Ok guys, as you know, this isnt JUST a system install, i am doing lots more stuff beside that.....the last few weekends have been dialing in the Air system on this ride. I replaced all the PAIN in the ass bags (rear was hard as hell) and also the pumps. Pics will tell all.....(oh ya, the spinners are gone...i still havent washed it and took a pic of it laid out but i will tomorrow)

Moved my wire racks to my work area.....freed up some space in the garage

Spinners come off.....revealing a 24" Oasis Gothic, just like mine but no center cap....all one piece.

I THINK these were due to be replaced

I love laying on my back under 3 tons of metal, amp, battery and subwoofer (and wood ) I love it so much ive spent 6 days like this changing bags and running wires. Im STILL not done!

At least the front bags werent so bad, i would rather saw my arm off then do the rears again.....

Some new pumps......i have one of these in the honda and it fills VERY fast and has a 200lb rating as opposed to the 170 on the last pumps.....this thing should fill up EASILY twice as fast, maybe more

Time to take out the old ViAir 450's........first i had to move the rear tank out of the way. The smaller pumps wouldnt come out and the new BIGGER ones werent about to go back in if i didnt do that....

Ok we have a slight problem.....time to come up with a solution.

Out with the other 450..

Pumps first......then when im done i will tap in with the ever reliable Nitrogen bottle.....for those times when he wants to hit a few switches and not have the compressor come on.....sucks when you have to wait on compressors, although i am using the fast pumps now (big reds) its still nice to have the bottle

Well here is my solution to the problem with the pumps being to big for their "rack".....a little steel a drill, and a welder is always a good thing to have layin around.

These should do.....they are little extensions that give the feet of the compressors something to sit on. A few welds to the original rack and i should be in business...

I had to make this because as you can see the bolts are so close to the edge they will get all sideways if i torque them down.....so these are little "spacers" for lack of a better word. Worked GREAT and they dont have a gangsta lean now

also managed to run RCA, Cat5, and Remote wires under the truck and into the front cabin....protected by black tape and a strategic run, shouldnt be a problem....

Everything is soldered in this ride, even the small terminals for the remote wires and small positive/negatives from other accesories.

i made a nice hole in the front to bring the wires up thru.....and over to whatever deck i pick out. Thats all for later though..

a sneak-peak at the mids/highs....all Rockford.

6 sets of Power 6.5 (T162 S)

2 Sets of Power 5 1/4 (T152 S)

2 (4 if i can) Shallow Mount Rockford P3 10's

cant wait to see the baggin vid's

Ok time to wire up the new pumps...yes even the 4, 8, and 10 ga wire (off the pumps) is all soldered just like every terminal in the rest of the system.....

Heres a good spot for the Solenoid!

Here is the 4ga headin out to the pumps

all i had was a 300 amp fuse layin around, ill probably drop that down to 100 or so this week when i order-up some stuff

.....all that bags and bling is cool but dont forget whats inside

& bags too?!!! I Love you man...
