Excursion System Rebuild

any set ETA's on when it should be done?

Our first big show out here is in early February. That is when I would like to have it done. Time weather and money permitting of course.

Ok,

So I have taken the past few days off from building the X to do a little side project I had.

We have an RV that has had a piss poor stereo for awhile now. So it's was time to upgrade a little. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Some of our out of town shows we drag it out to chill and BBQ at shows.

This had to go

I had this laying around so it went in as well as an older navi, An Ipod adapter and a Sirius tuner

Then I decided we needed to have a little tunes for outside.

I just go started on the wiring.

I picked a roll of Shok Wire for the job.

And thats all I have for pics. I had just about all the power wire finished off when I split my head open on one of the open doors and put a 2" gash in muh head. So a handful of stitches later, I don't feel like doing shit for a couple days. So when my head quits pounding, I will get back to this and the X build.

There's no doubt that your RV will be amazing, considering your exceptional work on your X.

That's what I was thinking. It looks nice and it says it has over 4k strands, almost 5k. I bet it can definitely handle some current.

It's CCA, So I would say it's current carrying capabilities are a little less then Copper of the same strand count. However I would feel confident using it in most daily systems. I have about a 40ft run, once I get back into the building spirit i will do some testing to see if there is a power drop in that distance. I doubt it will, but it's a good system to check on with.

The wire itself is some of the most flexible I have worked with.

I've tried to look into shok wire and can't really find anything on the internet, do you have a website or something for it, it does look good.

I'd love to see how this RV turns out, I always thought it would be neat to see what an RV system would be like.

how would you wrap something like that with the changes in height of the door and curves and such?

It's not easy.

That inner curve is a *****.

It takes a really good glue, A good heat guy and a very high quality material.

It also helps to do this during the warmer months, not in the chill like we are //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

I spent a little time on this again today. Finished off the wiring and ran the RCA's

The fuse block was a little disappointing. Sure it looks nice, but the performance sucks. First all all the display has a loose connection so it's displays intermittently. The overall function of it works, so I will leave it for now. The other thing I didn't care for was the blown fuse alarm. So unless you use all 4 fuses or in my case at least have all fuses in, it will beep at you.

I have an idea for the speaker connections that I will have to search out for part tomorrow.
