ok soo guess I'll start with just some pics of building this...
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if you try anything like this and screw your self up...I'm sure this will void the amp warranty... Idk?
this isn't super hard to do but there is some cash involved in this project so if I or anyone else screws something up that person is responsible for they're self
that being said here's some pics
Some smexy amp guts
This is where I will be tapping into..hard to tell but there are holes already drilled and tapped into the power and ground blocks..found some screws that fit
Will be stealing these to fuse it...yes it will be fused so I can access it from outside the amp easily...gotta be same
now the fun part of coming up with a design heres how that went...first with pencil
Then with sharpie
was off center so I traced this and shifted it slightly with a template
used a hole saw to help with getting the corners evenly
used a 45 degree roughter bit all the way around inside but f'ed up one part I'll fix that with some bondo
Here is an easy way to make a jig for SMD meters just cut round circles...then cut accordingly then flip the side to its flat on the bottom and glue staple...messed this up too kindo hard to judge with my hole saw the bit wandered around and put one closer than the others
Then you can use double sided tape or finishing nails to hold the jig the piece you want cut and use a flush trim bit to trace perfect oulines of the odd shaped meters
then I used a 45 again while the jig was still on there
Testing

Holy hell, that is cherry man, love it. Showing off the guts, color changing LED's and SMD meters...
Haha thanks man! You missing these amps yet?
Thanks again for the sweet deal!

This is pretty badass.
HOLY SHIT... that is very nice craftsmanship
That's beautiful, man. A true work of art.
Thanks guys! always humbling to receive compliments from people on smd because they are from true bass heads who have experience and much more talent than I.... and not just regular people who say " what is that?" "why" "that's cool I guess"
Haha I just laugh and say "because I can, so therefore I did." in my mind though I am thinking...oh yeah well GFY!

this has to be the best ive seen
I hope so! I know SHCA and maybe some other guys are designing custom amp back for these buuuuut mine has guages
The sneak peaks I've seen of their amps are smexy though!
Thanks man! I am happy with it so far!That is pretty sweet.
Bad ass man I admire the work and thought youve put in
Thank you very much, it was a first amp mod for me so yeah took some time to get things they way I wanted them
Awesome MOD!
Can't wait to see it in action.
Yeah I've noticed that some LED controllers are NOISY as well.
Thanks bro! I think it would be cool to do one cut out of aluminium, because it would look cool and also cnc' are perfect
Yeah I'm anxious my self haha..too bad I wont be here for a month!
Those amps are sex.
Agreed which is why I was afraid to take it apart in fear of ruining that sexiness!
Thank you! Again I was hoping to improve not make it uglier haha!Looks great, you made a sexy amp even sexier lol.
awesome looks good. Yea LED controllers seem to be very noisy. put a filtering cap in the postive and it helps greatly.
also helps them not to dim if you have some voltage drop
Thank you man! And I will have to look into that..may have some ?'s for you!
sick
haha agreed!
-
Thanks man, Like I said it's not finished or perfect but you get the idea!
-
Man that IBeam is a pretty cool add on..like you said perfect for open cab...got feel that bump!
-
Looks pretty badass id say!
Lots of fab work and dollars spent on toys, but the result is well worth it..
Funny how the led controller is interfering with your cellphone or camera everytime you changed the colors. LOL
Thanks man..wasn't too hard but yeah time consuming..and yes dollars spent on toys lol!
Yeah I uploaded an earlier vid when this was being built just with the rgb's flashing a bit and same thing...I was like wtf is that noise...oooh haha! Tricky controller
Looks awesome and a very unique idea.
Thanks man I'm very happy with it!

Just thought I would share a little project I've been working on..I've got 2 5.0k's I'm doing this to but this was alot of work so I'll show you the money shot's first then I'll finish the rest with kind of a build log set up but this way you wont have to wait till the end to see the results... your welcome
so kinda hard to tell which was the point but the SMD D'Amore VM-1 OM-1 and TM-1 are behind the plexi I smoked
some lit up pics
soo yeah there are built in fans controlled by the TM-1 and are set to turn on when the inside of the amp reaches 100 degrees
This will all be all internally wired I'm not done this isn't perfect needs some tlc before I'll call it good!!
I'm leaving the contry for a month but just wanted to get this presentable before I left
Soooo yeah if you want to point out any flaws....GFY!
I have lots of pics of this thing being built but I'll post those later here's a small vid of them
Also I couldnt hold the camera power it up to show the led's sweep because we all know thats one of the best parts of these
...couldn't do both and turn the led controller on......... so when both 5.0k's are done I'll post a vid of all 6 meters firing up if you want to check out my current truck build that all of this is going in that is here
dunno if you can tell but I love these things
Lastly Thank you SMD and D'amore engineering for the help
Much appreciated

I think they both look great t5's & t3's but to be honest the t5's with that copper bullet...looked pretty sick with the orange rzr
either way I'm sure it sounds bad ass...soo looks like you added yet another T500.1? sooo T1 10's?
-
Nice work dc..great vid!
-
Man i really wish i had a build that could use these!
-
Nice man! Box is coming along nicely! Looks friggin sweet!

Holy smokes that grill turned out titties!
y u not show us your ways......
damn you and your talent.....makes me sick!
Edit; you posted the vid while I was typing...good stuff grills came out nice..makes those pods look like something you would pay extra for on a rzr except better!
-
Like watching you do stuff and go "oh you do this this and this and boom its done...easy"
then I go to do it............
............F this I'm done!
Looks sick man!..you really do make that look easy although we all know theres allot more to it
-
Got wood?
Yes you do! lol
I made a giant penis.... LOL
Yes you did sir......well done!
on a serious note...this is looking kick ass man...looking forward to every update
-
smd sun flash ftw! looking great! sounds like you gots you a plan!
-
Looking good man! Will look even better all lit up with the dancing lights!
-
Yeah probably p2's I was thinking the t1's would be a bit heavy and under powered, but would still work.
Sorry man wasn't getting on your case for a possible typo just seeing if you were wanting a T1 but looks like you will be going p2's cool beans bro!
2 P2's on a power 500watt in a bandpass sounds sweet man, looking forward to the dash work with possible ipad!
still may need some smd rca's....we will see
-
Looking kick ass Steve! Super envious! I think you mean T1 10's I don't think they make T2 10's but if you wanted to do a trade I got a brand new T1 10 I wouldn't mind trading for some smd rca's haha...seriously though don't have a use for it once I bought it...I do have a use for some smd rca's though!
Again RZR is looking like it's going to JAM!
-
Love this place...humbles me and lets me know I don't know everything, in fact I have barely seen the tip of the ice burg of car audio knowledge from a very far distance! Wouldn't have it any other way!
Cheers! Thank you SMD for all that you do to help the car audio community, you give us sweet tools, great advice, SOTM, and a place we can all collaborate and come up with more ideas!
Again Cheers!

Damnit! Was about to change my answer to a polaris razor or an articat wild cat after seeing all the previous raptor guesses...
Nice man Your going to love it!
i'm already losing sleep and its not even bed time yet.
Haha yeah toys will do that to you! Can't wait to see what kind of mods you do to it
I mean these kind of toys are made to be customized! Iterested to see what you do to it audio wise!

4 door...mainly for off road....
ford 150 raptor?
not sure about this guess because I thought you already had an f-150...but motor trend wrote that this was the least year they were going to be made so that would be smart to get one of the last ones
-
hey Steve you know what you should do......haha jk you got this as always! Fabrication is looking good! Looking forward to seeing all the shca sexiness getting put in!
got my order for all my smd meters today...pretty stoked!
