      My mac os was being updated so that I could update my new iPhone so I had nothing yesterday. I'll get some up today. The doors were just a beast and hand making your own battery terminals because they needed to be custom was just a long long process. The back door 6.5 mid bass is too large and will hit my window so we have more to figure out about that. The main problem was figuring out what the local audio shop did on my first install. Just crap everywhere.

  2. Build log updated for anyone who's interested.

  3. Realized you can work allllll day and have very little to show for it. Few pics coming within the hour. Nothing major today.

      I did the same thing. LOL. Spent half the day and all I did was put in a battery...

    2. Nates_Veloster

      Nates_Veloster

      We spent ALL day and the battery isn't finished. There are all kinds of weird wires that connect to the factory battery so we had to modify and fit everything. We have it figured out but need a few more things

  4. XS battery on front isn't a plug-n-play. Sucks. Modifying factory wires in the rain, hoping they don't void my warranty. WEATHER SUCKS!

  5. Never done terminals before. What should I get (material) to make these?

    1. Chris Hammer

      Sorry. I forgot there are a ton of different ways to take what I meant. I was talking about sub box terminals. I went with stainless

  6. I really wanna pull an all nighter and get this puppy started. I need a garage or a shop. :)

      Facebook - add 'project db' and send them a message. He hit me right back. I loved the Toolmaker stuff and tried to get his first but he's just so busy he took too long to respond and I just want to get my stuff and fill this rebuild.

  18. FINALLY figured out an amp rack idea. Tired of talking. Ready to just rip stuff out and start rebuild.
