4 DP21 Wall Build

[rmzsuzuki89 10+ year member]

This is my new thread since there have been some changes. I found the width I needed to do a wall and that was my original want, so that's the route I decided to go.

Have been planning this for a lil while now. Being busy with school and what not, it has been a long time coming. I finally started the other day though.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Just a heads up: Being in college full time, with a ton of papers coming up soon, this will not be a fast build. Just gonna work on it when I can between class, gf, and other things until its done.

What's going in:

4 DP21"s

4 SAZ-3000d's (new heat sinks)

Maxx-Link

200+ ft. Tsunami Competition 1/0 (5+ 5- runs back)

9 Deka 9a31's (1 up front, 8 in back)

1 DC Power 290 amp alt (for now)

EDIT: Was going to be a 4th order designed by iamamp3pimp, but I found some more width and decided to design myself a flat wall since it's the first idea that I was wanting to do.

Other misc. things

All in an '03 Expedition XLT

Big thanks to Robin for the design, I may still go with a 4th in the future.

The design

Probably gonna do a couple 2x4's in the port instead of one.

These are some of the color schemes I'm thinking about.

Will match my dust caps lol.

The gear

Gutting process. And my dad getting the golf cart ready for a sub lol.

I'll be so happy to get that rats nest cleaned up.

Bolting down to where the seats were bolted down to.

Crimping my old 1/0 for redoing my big 3.

I love my new crimpers so much that I decided to hack saw a terminal in half to see how it looks (this one was actually not a very good one compared to my new ring terminals and after having some experience). Ended up hitting my thumb and slicing half way up my thumb nail lol...And sorry, the pic's crappy. But it looks like a solid chunk of copper that's fused together. Hydrolic crimpers ftw.

Deka up front.

Voltmeter

Gonna have to come up with something to cover this at night.

Test fit for the buss bars on the back battery bank. I kinda just wanted to see how they looked back there too. They will be in a box with a cover when finished.

Thanks to wgsj_fortvalley/PeachtreeCustomz for the front and back buss bars.

Wire

First two runs back, 8 more to go.

I've had my old power wire ran under like that for over a year now with no problems. No drilling through the firewall and stuffing it under carpet ftw.

Some of the old setups the Expedition has seen.

This was in for a lil while until we put it in my gf's car.

 

[rmzsuzuki89 10+ year member]

My last setup in my Explorer before I got my Expedition. Sorry about the shittyness, they were taken with a Razor back in the day lol.

Here's a pic of the truck itself.

Grommet, it's dirty down there.

Another hole cut and filed down a lil.

Fuse holders will be screwed to the battery rack somewhere, haven't decided exactly where yet.

Gotta find a way to coordinate all the wire when it's all in.

A good chunk of the first roll used.

Since a couple of people wanted to see my crimpers, here they are.

No progress today. After getting home from the track I ended up redoing the inside of one of my bearded dragon enclosures.

Hitting it hard again tomorrow after class hopefully.

Just got done drilling all my holes and putting the grommets in.

There are just 8 of them here. I'll take pics of them all when I finish vacuuming all the metal shavings out.

 

[rmzsuzuki89 10+ year member]

Just finished up for today. Got all of the holes drilled and grommets in, and 3 more runs ran. So just 3 more runs to go, I'm running out of places to send the wire down to under the car lol.

Almost one spool gone, moving to the next spool.

Sending a run down.

How it looks up front as of now, quite messy right now lol.
