Even properly soldered, the mechanical bond that crimping allows is still needed. Terminals are cheap enough to buy in bulk, a solder joint isnt as good if its not crimped. But we all do it different ways, I just do it how I was taught in my ICAR classes.

Crimp, solder then heatshrink. Its the best way to do it. If its done right it will never come apart. And it looks great!

Anyone having problems with the pics? They seem to be working fine for some and not for others...they come up on multiple computers for me, even while logged out.

Thanks for the compliments. The pics seem to be showing up fine for everyone else, they are hosted by google so they should be good. I will get pics of the amp as soon as it shows up. Hopefully I can get a video the same day!

Forgot to add, its still not done yet, I will hopefully be painting the box within the next week or so. The sundown should be here on friday?? And the wiring doesn't really look like that, I took that pic while I was taking out all the old wiring. All pictures were taken with my blackberry, so they aren't hi res. More pictures and a video to come when its all finished.... A big thanks to Ken for making it happen, he definitely put a lot of time into this.

New set up is a huge upgrade from the old one... 1/0 Front to back, including the big 3. It's mostly routed under the truck and out of the way. HU is Pioneer DEH-P6500, Mids are JL Audio C5-650 they are very musical and sound great on any type of music. (no i dont swing from JL's nuts like some) Mids are powered by an MTX and are getting around 100rms. I am looking to get a better amp for them and another set of components to keep up with the lows. Subs are custom built by Ken, the Nor Cal Sundown Rep aka Forevrbumpin. Hopefully he can chime in with a little more info about them. The subs are currently running off an Infinity 611a, way underpowered but it still sounds great. I ordered a Sundown SAE-1200D, and can't wait till it gets here to really wake the subs up

gogojjt k, thanks, steven...i was looking for some more technical advice, not a jackass comment from a douchebag like you. if i wanted to be cool, i would put on a pink shirt, pop my collar and jack off to gay porn like you do. i was looking for it to be functional and i happen to like the old school ways, as i am oldschool and dont want my little red button to just glow, i want it to start my car moron. once again thanks, thanks for wasting my time.

Damn that's alot of man to fit in the trunk lol Kinda makes me want to get a full size sedan just for a system. We have a gutted crown vic cop car at work and the trunk is huge. Plenty of room for bass. Oh and we did the same thing, we had one of the new guys get in the back seat and shut the door on him...haha

I have an 08 Yam R6, I don't suggest getting a 600 or 1000 if you don't feel confident. They are easy to ride once they get moving. But going slow, parking lots u-turns are where you will run into problems with a sportbike. If that Yam 250 is street legal that would be a great choice. Kawasucky also has a 250 ninja that would be great also. The 08-09s, I think changed the styling alot and it looks more like the Gizzer 600 and 1000s. That Gizzer styled 250 or the Yam 250 will handle better then a 600 and 10x better then a 1000. They are lightweight and have a good amount of power. If I came across one i'd love to pick one up, they are a blast to ride. A cruiser such as a harley is also an option if you like the sound of wet farts Yamaha makes a warrior, it would be a great cruiser. It will eat harleys all day and look great doing it. Yes I am biased... Regardless what you end up riding, take the MSF class. It really can save your life.

She ran the red light? what a dumb bitch. I've almost got taken out a few times on my MC by assholes running lights and it sucks. Good that you made it out safe, it could've been worse. Good job getting the plate and vin num

Nice vid. That's a crazy ass setup

Who is "they" ?? Welcome MatzexD you came to to right site to learn a lot about car audio! Ignore people who post rude comments, and enjoy the site!

What is this turps you speak of? I'm going to have to guess...alcohol? I don't think turpentine is drinkable. But I have seen people drink mouthwash so I guess you never know lol

Sorry about you're wreck. People drive crazy in the rain but it keeps us busy at work so its all good! I do bodywork for a living. Even from a pic like that there is clearly frame damage. You can order as many parts as you want but chances are, nothing will fit or line up untill that structural damage is repaired. That is indeed a trans or power steering cooler that is sticking out. If it isnt kinked or damaged you should be able to move it back into place. The hard lines connect to rubber hoses so it is somewhat flexible. Insurance is prob going to total that tho...

That looks great Ray. Did they have the boot available in that length? I plan on using windshield urethane to seal mine. And bedliner on the box.
