Nicely done. Now you need to focus on electrical.

That's what I'm working on now.

Deciding what I want to do and where my power transfer will go. Most likely I will be using the same 4/0 I used in the last build. Also I am working on a mock up of the battery racks. I will have 2, one on each side between the frame rail and side steps. It's an extremely tight fit and may take a few designs to achieve what I'm looking for.

I didn't as much time as I wanted to this weekend to finish it up. We did some serious running around. But I did get a few things done on it

Got the speaker wires ran. Little texflex and shrink to make it look good.

I'm using the 6x9's that I use in the garage for tunes.

These boxes still serve double duty for the garage too, that is why I left the spring clips

It's on hold for awhile.

I'm working on getting all I need to do the wiring and battery racks. The wire price isn't too bad, but having your own digital fuse holders made is expensive.

Kind of like that.

These will have Volts and amperage readouts. They will have pewter ends but I am looking into black chrome with a smoked plastic cover.

Who would you have make something like that???

To bad you didn't know a ton of people tht wanted them, they'ed prolly come down in price... Seems like Volume is key..

I do have to order a large quantity of them. I will sell off the rest super cheap.

I'm still working out the details on them. They have a red led display ready however I thing blue will match the rest of the truck better. The silver ends are no problem however the smoked plastic will be extra.

At any rate, It looks like I won't have them in production till around the first of the year. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The work looks great, super neat and nice. Definitely different from what you typically see even from shops!

Looks good.

So I did some thinking out loud today. Was trying to decide what I was going to need for wire so I can order some up. But I need to decide how it is going to enter into the truck and where. 16 subs will eat up a good amount of room in the back so it will really limit on where I can put the amps. I was thinking of dividing them 4 and 4 on the front and rear of the box molded into the box. The front won't be too bad, but the rear may be a pain with the addition of the port. The other idea is to do them under the box. Not the best way to show them off but I was thinking about a pull out tray for the 4 in the rear.

8 HF-2500.1 really don't take up too much room once I laid them out.

At any rate, it's a good amount of wire from the alts to the battery racks and then to the amps. The trick will be figuring out how to feed all 8 amps from the batteries under the truck along the frame rails.
