ImLow78 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) It was a busy day for me. I had to bite the bullet and run 1/0 to the back of this truck. Once I found the best place to bring this huge cable in the cab I had to move all my RCA's and Speaker wire (WOO HOO). While I was at it I wired up as much of the amp rack until I get the few odds and ends that are in the mail and on their way. Don't rip me to bad on my carpet and vinyl work (This was my first attempt with this and I was try'n to do it the way I thought would turn out the best.) So I'll post all the pictures of this build and give you a time line view. This was the first box with slot ports that I messed up and scraped! Here is the new box with round ports. I separated the box into two enclosures that are right around 4cu. Ft. the ports are 4" round and 18.5" long ( I know they might be long but the good thing is if I have to shorten them I can get a cut-off wheel in the box to cut them down.) On WINids the port length calculator showed that port tunning at 30.73hz. Here it is carpeted. Next is the amp rack that will fit under the rear seat. I didn't get a picture of it after I vinyled it but here is pictures of it installed that shows it finished.

ImLow78 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Here I ripped the dash out to move the speaker wires and RCA cables from the passenger side to the driver side. Running the wire down the side of the dash to the driver side kick panel. Here is one with the parts of the dash in the back seat. LoL Here are the Speaker wires and RCA's ran to the back seat where the amp rack is going to be. Here is where I picked to run the power wire (1/0) to the back seat. I found a spot (Got Lucky) that will be hidden pretty good. I didn't want to take the back seats out but guess what? I had to any ways. (CHIT!!!!) But it turned out good. Here's what it will look like with the seat up. In order to run the wire there I had to break out the big guns due to the spot being double backed with a brace and I could not get the jam nut on the back side of the power wire grommet, so I had to cut out some of the back of the brace. Rear seats going back in. Finished amp rack in and wiring what I can until I get the rest of the stuff to finish this project.

ImLow78 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) are does 15 or 18 ...........but looking good Some old JL 15w0's I had lay'n around in the basement. Pretty much all the equipment I've had for a long time and I was too lazy to install this stuff. well that all changed this weak since I've been unemployed since July of 08 and I just couldn't sit around the house anymore and I needed something to occupy my brain so I pulled my @ss off the couch and said this was the week for the long over due install.

ImLow78 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Where should I ground all this stuff. I have a place where I can clean off the paint on the floorboard that can be hidden and ground there or do I really need to cut another big hole next to the power wire and ground to the frame? (It will be a bigger P.I.T.A but If I have to that's fine its just a little more work.)

ImLow78 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Few more shots of the amp rack on the passenger side. Big 3 and Power wire ran and done. I just have to find some black wire loom to hide this Chity looking Blue wire. Ya guys, I know under the hood is dirty as can be but the hood don't come open that much.

I know this ain't much for a ground pounder but this is what I've had waiting to get installed for what I've had.
