    sonotube lol

    Sonotube is the shit. Just dont let it get wet, It will fall apart. Putting a layer of fiberglass over and in it would be a good idea if you go that rout.

    Ask a plumber in your area the name of the major materials supplier near you. Home depot type stores only carry a fraction of the available sizes you can purchase. They will have or be able to get bigger sizes of PVC for sure. If you want something lighter than schedule 40 ask if you can purchase foam core PVC. Much lighter and easier to cut.

    A rectangle or square port would work well but a round one will look perty.

    I havent messed with these kinds of boxes so I cant comment on the design. Most of the boxes I have seen in hatchbacks are sub up though. Spin the box 360 deg to see where it meters better.

  12. Enter the Fuse Rating

    The run from the front battery to the rear bank should have a fuse on both ends, period.

    The 2 runs from the 2nd alt to the rear should be fused at the rear bank, period. I have read and seen people fusing and not fusing at the alt up front. If you want to be absolutely safe and protect the alternator use the fuses.

    Runs from the rear batteries to your amps should be fused at the batteries, period.

    I hate to add this on you. If im reading right your batteries are spread out around the back of your truck. If they were in a bank and secured together a buss bar would be the best way to connect them. If you were just wiring them together not using fuses would be OK. But if your running 6' of 1/0 to connect them because their on opposite sides of the truck I would fuse both ends of the cable. One crack in the wire jacket or any short to the chassis in that cable could mean by by truck.

    Keep the main alt wired to the starter battery and wire the second alt to the rear bank. If your doing 3 runs to the rear run one from the front battery to the rear and the other 2 from the second alt to the rear. I skipped the multiple wires and am just running 3/0 to the rear in mine. 300 amp fuses on each run should be fine. Im also grounding my alts to the frame in the front and running 3 grounds from my rear bank to the frame in the rear.

    As for the amps, the fuse rating is usually recommended by the manufacturer.

    Just to power that setup properly will set you back $3500 -$4000 easily if you plan to use 6 SAZ 3500's in the future. 2 G's for a quad alt setup, 1 G for a battery bank of cheap batteries add $1000 if you want something like XS power. Then the cabling, fusing, buss bars, terminals etc. There is almost half your funds right there and this is where you should start to be honest. No sense in buying subs, amps and building anything until the platform for your build is setup. I found this out doing the build Im doing right now so Im just telling you what I just learned. Im only running 1/3 the wattage your planning on running too.

    I wound up pulling out stuff I installed previously to add bigger better electrical that would handle what I wanted to do. Now I'll have enough juice to power my setup easily and have room left to upgrade when its time to do it.

    Firstly: They are delicious.

    Secondly: They are Swiss! Which means that they are like precise, utilitarian, and probably blond.

    Thirdly: They are Freakin' Cake

    Lastly: that is in a handy snacklet of a Roll!!!

    OM NOM NOM NOM!!!

    This man speaks the truth. I could down a box of these without even trying. A cup of Swiss Miss hot chocolate and a box of Swiss Rolls FTW.

    The fudge rounds are tasty as well.

  19. New Milwaukee Panel Saw for my shop!

    Delta w/ 50" Biesemeyer fence. :good::D

    This is mandatory. I do prefer Powermatic table saws to Delta. Delta makes very nice equipment but I loved my 10" Powermatic 66.

    My old setup but had a stationary out feed table behind it. Covered the table surface with Formica so the stock would slide over it easily.

    Look into a Biesemeyer fence setup for your chop box as well. Sliding pre-set stops and straight as an arrow rests. Was one of the best investments I made in my old shop. If your doing dust collection look into the Biesemeyer over head collector and guard for the table saw as well. It floats over the blade and never gets in the way of the work. You can easily pull it up and out of the way if you want.

    Wish I lived out your way Steve. I could hook you up proper in no time. That panel saw is a nice item as well.
