ahh youth, everything was cool and looking to be a very strong and nice build then you pull out the 14 year old boys dreams of splatter paint.

The splatter paint is cool //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'd gotten nothing but compliments on it until you, so you can go fuck yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Anyways....

Ceiling is in, although there is a gap. I'll fill it in with spray foam

Got half the bus bars done. Will install the last three tomorrow at work

splatter paint was maybe cool in the late 80's early 90's.

Looking good man. I'm thoroughly impressed! It's cool seeing someone make **** early on and progress so far. Don't cut any corners and keep it coming! And I say that as a person who has the barest of installs currently lol.

Thanks. Trying to keep good attention to detail with this build.

I hope to be really loud at low frequencies this time, lol

Roof looks stout. Sounds like you did it very similar to ours, which if it is, it won't budge at all. Our roof is just stupid strong.

are you securing the bus bars? did you decide not to directly mount them to the battery rails or? wire issues? idk

Yeah, I hope it holds up. If not, I'm screwed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

They are extremely secure. The monster cable jacket is stiff at that length and they are far enough apart that they wouldn't be able to touch even if bent.

The bars would've needed to be twice as wide if I wanted to bolt them directly to the bars. I already had the wire cut/crimped/shrink-wrapped too

There was a huuuuuuuge slug on my driveway this morning, haha

Still had a few connections to complete when I took the picture, but I now have the battery bank wired up with bus bars:

Got the inside of the wall painted:

Did some wiring under the hood. Thanks to @nkrell11; for the battery terminals

Got my new DC power 300 amp alternator in thanks to @yotabass1; . I now have a 370 amp large case Singer hairpin, 300 amp large case Excessive Amperage conventional, 300 amp large case DC power conventional, and the stock alt for now. My US Alternators 390 amp large case hairpin is still being built, and I'm going to give them a call after I post this. :toetap:

Got the amps spaced so from the back it looks like one solid block. I think it looks good :shrug:

Started wiring them up using whatever color wire worked, haha

Looks good man you definitely needed 8 spots.

Yep, it'll be perfect when I get the fourth high-output alternator in!

Holy moly bro! I need to hear this machine when you get it up and running (but from a loooonnnnngggg way away!) I would like to see it in person if you don't mind. I live in Buffalo, about 10 east of Springfield.

Why not just skip ahead to the part where you tear this down and buy all new equipment again?
