My install with pics

[riddla 10+ year member]

Got a tiny bit more done now.

I have nearly completed the install. Ive acquired a set of blue illuminous neon tubes with the inverters included so will hook these up, 1 on top and 1 on bottom to complete & give the finishing effect. Pics will follow shortly.

Ive installed the subwoofers. Ive wired them in parallel to produce 1 ohm stable from my bxi 1606 amp.

More pics to follow.

I also need to set my gains and will purchase an oscilloscope or DMM as you call it. correct me if im wrong.

Just me checking here that all currentis flowing properly. 1st time I plugged the fuses in, there were no problems with anything. No reason why there should have been as I did everything properly

The interior is a complete mess and needs a good tidying after all the crimping wires etc

Things are looking a lot neater now. Just need to make one more cover

Bass box is now in position

Good so far ?

An Oscilloscope and DMM are two different tools, a DMM is much cheaper and is what I would assume you are after. An Oscilloscope displays the voltage as a sine wave whereas a DMM just gives you an average basically. Just so you know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

looks sweet...

get a new battery or an extra battery/ upgrade to a high output alternator... that will fix your voltage problem and the dimming lights...

Hey Riddla, I love it!! The ugly carpet choise actually ended up going pretty good with everything else!

I think it looks great and probably sounds even better.

good job man.

Yer thanx Bterz. It sounds lovely but needs tweaking as I dont know how to set my gains as I have no scope

Where did you order the neons from?

please tell me you used speaker wire to hook the subs up and not that regular wire?

 

[grassroots 10+ year member]

^

what is "regular wire"?

oh and is that really an M? if it is... i personally would not have put that much weight in it but to each his own...

i used the thin wire to hook up in parrallel & the thick wire was the wire that goes to the amp. the thin was just to hook it to parallel ? is this bad or should i change to the same grade wire ?
