Here is where it gets fun, and you may learn something about cutting odd angled side pieces like these on a table saw This is the angle i need to cut at 16.4 degrees, I need 2 of these for the sides, sure you could free hand them with the table saw and hopefully dont get any kickback or use a jigsaw or circular saw but how smooth the cut ends up could vary significantly So first up I had to duplicate the same angle on my other side piece Notice the gap in between the wood pieces and the saw fence, no way to use a fence for a straight cut like that unless..... Grab yourself some double sided tape, Im using 3M because its readily available at a store, but you can order much cheaper and thinner template tape as well Pealed off the top of the tape and stuck one side piece to a square piece of scrap wood (it must be a straight piece of scrap) I lined up my drawn on line with the edge of the wood Next I stuck the second side piece on to the scrap piece of wood What this will do is give me a straight edge to ride along the fence to cut the angles nice straight and true Now both side pieces are cut at the same time Pry the cut panels off the scrap wood and of coarse check to make sure both are cut evenly from side to side Now its time to start assembling the side pieces to the bottom that I already assembled Now I can go and attach the front angled piece I always spread my glue evenly with my finger after applying it to the wood this way I dont have to rely on pressure to spread it 100% Turn the enclosure over and now its time to do the back panel Now all sides and bottom are assembled I will use a flush trim router bit to cut out the middle hump on both sides of the panel once the glue has dried which I didnt feel like doing last night Just cutting out the speaker holes and putting the top panel on

Just unboxed my new XS Power Intellisupply. It's a charger or a small power supply! Check out the first pics here. I will post more when i use it. Seems legit so far though!

I can finally see behind me! You don't think of this stuff when you think "off road"....at least i didn't. But man, with a seatbelt and a helmet on, it is REALLY hard to turn your neck and look back. When you are smashing up a trail or over a dune you don't wanna take your eye's off the "road" so to speak. So i finally got my mirrors! I got a 3 panel "wink" mirror for the rear view. All three individual mirrors on it pivot so i can put them exactly where i want. It's high enough where i can see over the intercooler but just wasn't enough. So i got the side mirrors today and slapped them on. Yes i know, not mind blowing, exciting, but this is all part of my build log. And yes, i am excited The FUNNEST part of owning a RZR is all the shit you can buy for them! AFTERMARKET FTW! So while i was waiting for the mirrors to get here, i took off for a little ride. Slapped some beat by a train and took a pic. heavy duty too! not cheap flimsy shit! So naked with no mirrors this is an uninterrupted build log (UBL) no talk, except my own, JUST pictures! please click here to leave a comment or join the discussion http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187017-polaris-rzr-4-900-sound-system-install-done-page-12-62614-rockford-fosgate-door-wrap-ninja-pic-page-13/ thanks!

All thats left is find some scrap wire laying around for speaker wire, hopefully I have enough! Top panel cut Marking lines for the mids and tweets Speaker holes cut Top panel glued and nailed on Keeping things square really makes those seams look nice Rounded over most the exterior edges Transmission hump routered out Had to notch out the top tweeter holes a little due to the angle on the top Also had to do a little itty bit on the bottom tweeter holes Finally time to test fit the speakers I guess it looks alright and should work for now

Well damn, that's a nice trick for the angled pieces.

Its fucking nice as hell..... i really dig it. Fan cooled, quiet. I have it mounted in the blazer, plug dangles out the gas door, pull up home, plug it in every night.

60 amp jus cause

the recovery mode is why im looking into it

It has a recovery mode. The wired display is cool as fuck, as im mounting mine in the vehicle to stay. It think it has some sort of battery temp sensor of some sort also. Im stoked to work with it, and see what its all about.
