Awesome build. I'm loving the vinyl and leds. Did you make a circle jig for your router or buy one?

Thank you. I purchased the Jasper circle jig.

Today was rough, I had to heat up the electrical tape every time I used it.

The good news, my drink stayed cold. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Hope everyone isn't getting sick of my updates, here is today's progress.

Here's a short video if it works.



Next I started working on the flux capacitor.

Another short video.

I worked on the car for six or seven hours today and feel like I got very little accomplished.

I color coded all of the speaker wires.

I then wrapped them in techflex and color coded those.

Next I made a box to match the flux capacitor to house the speaker connections and the SMD fan controller.

This picture shows the terminal box, it also shows that I covered the flux capacitor and added acrylic.

Next job was attaching the grounds. This is prior to techflex.

So many wires and so much tech flex...

How do you like those PPI comps?

Install looks great....put a beaty board just in front where the tailgate locks and it'll look like a pro did it.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to listen to the speakers yet. Hopefully I get everything playing this coming weekend.

I wasn't able to get much done today. I worked a little while prior to going to the nursing home to visit my mother in law. I'll be doing that quite a bit over the next few days then probably her funeral next week. So, if I can manage to get a few hours in on the stereo I'll consider it a small victory.

Today I managed to run the power wire, the RCA's and the driver's side speaker wires. I also temporarily ran some old scrap wire on the passenger side since I ran out of new wire. I'll be replacing that next weekend.

Pretty power wire techflexed.

It runs through a rubber boot that was already there.

Next were the RCA's. Three sets all in split techflex running down the driver's side.

I'm going to try it out with no rear fill first to see how I like it so I only have two sets of RCA's hooked up.

Speaker wires all with their own special color tape so I can identify them.

Running down the driver's side.

Welp, that's it until tomorrow.

Ha, I'm about as far from pro as you can get. I just watch a lot of videos and ask lots of questions. Thank you though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Let me know if you get bored and I'll drive out to you and you can do my install for me.

I managed to get everything hooked up today and I finally got to hear it. It's going to take a good bit of tuning but I'm just happy it's playing.

First off, the speaker connections. The red and clear wires will be replaced with blue and black wires once they show up.

A comparison between the Alpine Type R 6's that I removed and the PPI's that I replaced them with.

Midrange and Tweeters hooked up and installed.

Door speakers hooked up and installed. More sound deadening and MDF speaker rings will be among the first upgrades.

I'm not sure if this will help any but it certainly won't hurt anything.

All back together.

How's this for an ugly tune?

I managed to get a couple of little jobs done today. I wired up the SMD temperature gauge / fan controller. I also wired up the led's.

I placed the temperature sensor near the P1000.1 amp.



I also cleaned up the wiring up some in the amp rack.
