[QUOTE="ExplsvCookie257, post: 7111122, member: 624778"] 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 [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0052-1.jpg[/IMG] -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 [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0062.jpg[/IMG] -added an amplifier ground to the frame instead of the sheet metal [IMG]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z103/explsvcookei257/IMAG0054.jpg[/IMG] -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 [/QUOTE]
