This is the first time i've ever had a CA build that i kinda wish i didnt start haha. After a couple back to back all nighters doing homework and studying, you dont really wanna go out to the garage and work on a truck.

Little update while im on the forums though. The paint took a LONG time to dry last night, its getting pretty cold here. Everything is painted up now.

Now i have to:

-Mount the sub in

-Put the beauty panel on

-Seal up the bed

-Put the amp rack in

-Put the amps/batteries/LED's/voltmeter/toggle switches in

-wire it all up!

The goal for today is to get all the panels in along with the sub. If i have the time, i'll throw the batteries in. the amps will be going in last.

Try to ignore the disgusting amount of sawdust in the truck/on EVERYTHING right now. It'll all be cleaned up, and the new camera seems to like to pick up all those little particles.

Bunch of progress today, but it got dark, so i didnt put the amps/batteries in yet.

All sealed up.

These are million-color LED strips put just behind the beauty panel. I'm rather curious to see how they perform.

moreso than last time. With the amps mounted like this, the seats can be used, AND be folded all the way down flat as in the pictures (they wouldnt do that with the amps under the seats)

Gawd, tell me about it, lol.

Im doing my best to get it done this weekend, because i have a couple busy weeks ahead of me starting monday.

 

[Supergumby5000 5,000+ posts]

I dont have class until 3PM tomorrow, so i am going to try to get everything done in the morning.

Lots of little wiring tidbits to do though, so i probably wont finish.

Need to:

-put big batteries in the bed of the truck

-put smaller battery up front, build a battery holder for it

-mount up two toggle switchs, mount up voltage meter, wire switches

-fix a ground on my HU (small alternator whine, i think its the culprit)

-mount and wire the amps

-tune the amps
