Buck's Exploder build log

[Buck]

you should pickup some raptor 4g just to compare for the lulz

Audiopipe 4 gauge. The ring terminal is 0 gauge audiopipe, then the 4/0 "lug"

I'll help, can't say how good I'll be at it.

[T.I.K.]

How much power can that 4/0 handle?

We're in the same boat then sir. Hell I have plenty to do that I could use some help on. I'm the only one I know around here that is hardcore into audio. I gotta do the big3, run my power wire right, run my rcas right, better ground, finish fiberglassing tweets into the a pillars, figure out what I'm going to do about mids, and I'm sure there is more. Always so much to do and little time to do it though.
One of these days I'm going to get out towards Nashville, I'll hit you up!

In the runs that I have, probably 500+ amps.

Did the big 2- alt pos to bat pos and alt case to bat neg.

These were a bitch to crimp:



Pics of install:









Hmmm, I have a few terminals on this post, no?

[sacsking916]

so how come you didnt fuse the alt to bat? just wondering cause i kept getting mixed sayings from everyone. so to be safe i fused it for my big 3.

[Buck]

Just no need in my mind, but it all depends. Those are not coming off. I could pull a vehicle with that 4/0.

[Buck]

Charging voltage is quite a bit higher, around .3-.4v. I haven't play my system much because the rear hatch panel was off, but from what I can tell that voltage has really made my sub stage sound quite a bit better.

[Buck]

The big "2" I did actually made my system louder. Loud enough where I almost want to turn it down. I guess that slightly higher charging voltage helped out quite a bit.

[Buck]

Ok did some ghetto work on my box. The 2nd baffle isn't flush because the screw heads didn't go all the way into the first baffle, so I had air leaks. For a temp. fix I duct taped around the whole box. It got louder. Then I turned my amps up a little more, and it got A LOT louder, and then my window started making weird noises so every time I roll it down it pops right before it's all the way down.

Lol come on man... just take the screws that are sticking up out of the first baffle. If its glued properly it shouldnt be a problem!

[Buck]

Alright, subs are out, head liner is out. Adding some extra sheet metal to my roof. Pics brahz:

I noticed you said thanks to dave_damage you have that large wire. did he sell you some or? he's owed me money on a refund for a year now and hasn't attempted to pay back unless I constantly pm him.
