From now on my updates will be formatted somewhat like this due to me rambling on about alot of stuff im trying to perfect but I dont get many responses on how to perfect those thigs. I am a do ithe best the first time not later. But it's no big deal so here is an update.
Here is a list of things I have gotten done for the system so far:
-Added a thinner box for more airspace 5" deep x 30" long x 16" high
-Angled the front of the box on sub side only
-Box volume after bracing displacement and without sub disp is 2.39 cubic feet
-Qtc of .711 will rise to like .73 to .75 at most with sub displacement
-Not sure what the avalanche's displacement is if anyone knows let me know I cant find it anywhere
-Built an amp rack
-added an amplifier ground to the frame instead of the sheet metal
-Had a ground loop fixed, that by grounding the headunit to the frame
-Soldered ring terminals to the 4 gauge wiring and installed that
Some goodies I have gotten
-#2 (not 2/0) welding cable orange hyper flex or whatever its called from welding supply.com I got 40' comes tomorrow.
will that be sufficient to use for the big three as the most power? I will draw total of 1320rms (1000rms to sub and 160rms for each speaker set)thanks
-Received the Arc Audio XXD 4080, speakers and sub getting 80rms sound amazing and get loud but I probably shouldn't do due no enclosure for the components.
-Hopefully tomorrow I will receive my new 4 channel lightning audio rca cable I purchased from someone on
diymobileaudio
-Ordering a 1/0 distribution block so I can run my friends ap 1500d will give the sub 4 to 500ms to one coil
Things I have Left to do:
-Big 3 upgrade with #2 welding cable will do it in 1/0 if 2 gauge welding wire is not sufficient but that is up to everyone here..
-Add a run of that cable to a distro block then to the amps.
-Find best angles for speakers. This has been slowing me down a lot but I had it pretty good the other day and now I messed with something and have to use a lot of t/a.
-Fiberglass the kicks when angles are finalized. This will be the fun part.
-Bondo, sand, primer, and paint enclosures.
-Run 12 gauge speaker wire from individual driver to behind the seat were the amp rack with the crossovers is located.
-Run new 4 channel interconnect cable
-Laminate box in all black
-Paint amp rack or laminate if I have any left
-Buy a used sundown 1200 or 1500d might go with a 500 rms sq monblock amp if it would really matter. Prefer SQ over SPL any day.
-Tune everything.
-Get metered
More pictures tomorrow
