Going to do some post catching up here:

My XS Power Batteries came in today! People have been asking for a "How to add a secondary battery" for awhile so now I finally have a project to show it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Anyone guess what is in the small package?

NEW Video Build Log! In this one I start sound treatment on the trunk, rear deck, and finish the rear doors.

I have finished fabricating and installing the battery rack! I built a small enclosure for an XS Power XP950 battery. The enclosure is mounted to a base board which is secured to the vehicle via an OEM bolt location and carriage bolt. Check out how I built it step by step in the latest build log video!

Here are some sneak peek pictures of what to expect in the next video where I'll start wiring.

I now have the XS Power D1200 Installed! It was a little bit more than your average swap. I had to come up with a new way to mount the battery in the engine compartment. Check out the video to see how!

Here is an update! Wiring is complete!

looking good so far, appreciate how in depth you go for those of us who like to learn new stuff along the way.

That's one **** setup.

Question.. I've never actually met someone who bothers with a signal processor. Why use one?

works magic. The absolute best thing for sound quality, soundstage and imaging.

Maybe I need to hear a properly staged and imaged setup to see how much difference there is. Good comps on a single amp or a couple sets run active and a solid substage has always satisfied me.

Used to think that too until I got into some world class SQ cars. Clean sound is the very basic step, there's a whole nother world to experience with soundstage and imaging that really brings music to life.

I'm planning to attend an SQ comp in Concord on the 26th of this month and demo some real SQ setups . Hopefully it'll give me a good starting point.

The shop hosting recommened I enter just to get a feel for where my setup is at. Thinking that's a good idea.

Nice work on the videos Mark. I always enjoy watching them and have been improving my installs ever since I started watching you. Thanks for all the work that goes into them.
