Kangaroux's 99 Pathfinder

[TheUnderFighter 10+ year member]

The volt meter I bought doesn't have a screw it comes pre-calibrated. I compared it with my DMM and it was spot on.
This pathfinder is pretty bare bone when it comes to options. The 97 I had before this was fully loaded but even then all the switches weren't there. I don't know why there are so many, maybe it's just to make it easier in you decide to add something in?

You sure? It looks the like the exact same one I have, that I got cheaps off ebay, like 10 bucks shipped from China? It took me a while, but I did spot a screw on the back, tiny as it is for calibrating.

Yep super cheap and it shipped from Asia. Trust me I looked at the back of it for a while and there are no screws.

Man I swear we have the same one haha. I looked at mine for several days before I found it. I'll try to get pics tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure you have a screw.

Even if there is a screw somewhere it wouldn't make a difference it's already calibrated fine. I had my dmm hooked up to my battery and on the dmm it was bouncing between 12.44 and 12.45, and whenver it bounced my volt meter would switch from 12.4 to 12.5, so it's rounding it off fine

eh fair enough. Mine was a couple tenths off so I was glad to find it.

I was looking at my cheap ebay voltmeter today, it has a small screw adjustment screw on it. I havent installed it yet but if it is off I will adjust it.

Also I found a picture of my TN crimper. It works really good.

Get some work done on your install. I should be done this weekend (I hope) Also I just installed am Autostart system that works great and only cost $30. For you way up there in the frozen North it would be something good to have. Really easy to install actually.

Yeah I need to get a remote starter installed, my 97 had one but unfortunately this one doesn't.

It's hard for me to work on the pathfinder on week days that I have school because the sun sets so early now that I can only work on it for like an hour and a half and then anything beyond that is like pitch black. I got the second speaker adapter cut up and installed today but it got too dark for me to install the speaker itself. When my paypal clears I'll be ordering some wiring from knu so I can at least wire up my speakers.

Going to be picking up some MDF, 1 x 3" and some thin metal sheeting at lowes tomorrow to get some bigger stuff out of the way. Gonna start on my box, the 1 x 3 will be used to make a frame for my false floor (I was going to do 2 x 2's but a 1 x 3 saves me an extra inch of height and the extra width is a nice addition for some added strength). I have around a sheet of 9 ply birch I'm going to use to do the false floor with that I actually picked up for free. As for the metal, that will be put to use on my door panels to seal up the large voids once I order some deadener from Coleman.

Gonna go pick up the wood tomorrow at lowes, was gonna do dowels but I'm just gonna do threaded rod to make it easier for bracing the port. Gonna do a pretty simple design, nothing too fancy. Would love to do some 45's but my table saw has something wrong with the wheel that angles the blade, may need some lubricant or maybe something is broken. Don't know at the moment, maybe I'll figure out the issue tomorrow.

Got the wood today at lowes, not gonna cut it up tonight though cause it's late and I'm tired haha. The cashier was pretty forever alone, though. Told her if the wood didn't fit in the trunk I was gonna go back tomorrow and pick it up. Came back to return the cart, she asked if everything fit fine and I said "Yes, I guess it's my lucky day". As I was leaving I heard her say "YOU TOO" lulz

Really enjoying all the pics of your build, Kangaroux. This gets me even more excited about my stuff that's on its way. Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks. Kinda ***** I haven't had a chance to work on stuff cause of how early the sun sets, though. Gonna start the box tomorrow, if I find enough time I will have it finished my thursday and installed just running temp. off my 2.600. Trading OmegaBunny for his 4.500 so I don't have to worry about getting crossovers, but that should be friday.

Didn't take any pictures today cause I didn't really do that much. However, I got most of the wood cut for my box, double baffle is clamped and drying right now, ran some cheapo RCA's to the back, and got a spot in my firewall to run my power wire. RCA's will be upgraded to some knukonceptz when I order my new power wire. Box *might* be done tomorrow if I find the time, but it's not going to be painted or anything yet. Thinking of doing a gloss black at some point, but before I start doing cosmetic stuff like that I at least want to get everything done first (false floor is another big thing I need to do as well as deadening)
