Just caught up as well and damn.....just jealous of everything, love what's been done here, those are great scores on ONE AMP! can't wait to see once all is hooked up. Those caps made a difference, wow! I like how clean the back looks too, you did a great job man, and the gear you used...... wicked nice man.... wicked nice Awesome setup!! Thanks guys! Time for more updates. I have all 4 amps in and all 8 banks of caps installed and it is playing...time to get caught back up...

mrd6 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 So we'll start off with a bit of suspension work. The rear has been sagging badly ever since I added all the batteries. I bought some new OME HD leafs back in february not realizing they were on backorder everywhere...7 months later they showed up! So swapped those in and replaced the shocks all around. It leveled things out quite nicely, drives much better, and I think and I am really liking the look too. Before: Literally riding on the bump-stops in the rear, I had to squeeze both my fingers in there to take that picture. I don't know why i never took a straight on side shot of the stance but this is what I've got lol And After: My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamminBeats Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 why a 6th? and i mean that in a technical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrd6 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Starting on the turn-on circuit layout. This seemed like it would work well. Built a quick back plate out of 1/4" MDF Gave it a coat of resin, drilled mounting holes. And, after several layers of plasti-dip I attached the terminal strips. Not a lot of connections for now. It is only turning on the volt meter and the 6 amps but I have plans to add some lights, and fans for cooling and maybe another amp so I need all the room to expand.

mrd6 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 why a 6th? and i mean that in a technical sense. I loved watching Yeuy's 4runner build on here and it "inspired" my interest in 6ths. Also, I liked the idea of a unique challenge. But, from a technical standpoint, I saw a 6th order as a way to gain very high efficiency while maintaining respectable bandwidth. My limiting factors in this build would be electrical simply due to the fact that I have only been able to fit 220 amps of alt in it. But, I had no shortage of space (well a bit more would have been nice but still lol). I'm still very much enjoying this. Pics or die! Haha about 50 more to come and videos this weekend... Started work trimming out the rear doors...I have plans to do this up a bit more with some fiberglass trim panels and completely hide all of the amp wires but its low down on the priority list so this will do for now. Masking off for plastidip... Sprayed And then I just fitted some carpet and reinstalled everything on top cleaning up some of the wiring. Amps can cool nicely at shows now too My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrd6 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I bought these cap bars from bumpin4life on here, I was going to have my own made up slightly different but he was selling his and as it turns out they would work for my build perfectly...after some minor adjustments. The red lines are where I needed to cut them. Since space is so tight in the back of the truck I needed to separate the caps into a lower bank of 5 and an upper bank of 3. Lol then I guess skip forward a bit and the bars are cut and the lower bank of 5 is assembled! Starting on the top bank And done, all stacked up. By the way, this took 2+ hours just bolting everything together, pain in the ass lol.

mrd6 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 what carpet is that? Looks good Its one of the unbacked carpets from partsexpress, pretty sure it was only $7 a yard for 54" rolls and yes it is very nice to work and holds up well in lower wear areas.
