Okay so I got more done today. Check it out.

First I compared the 5K to my ZX1000.1 and ZX250.2

Then it's time to get this baby in there! So I started by adding the second hot wire from the alt to the rear battery, and getting all my wires ready around the amp rack.

Then a little soldering. I need a big hydraulic crimper.

And there you have it! Man, I can't even describe how proud of this car I am.

I took a video, here it is. But the damn cameras sound quit working about half way through. :( You can still tell when it's playing

Also, I'll add several more videos to this thread tomorrow when it's daylight, and you can see better, along with a complete walk-thru.

So I guess that will conclude Stage 2 of the Kickin' Cruiser build. All in all I have had a lot of fun building this car and system, as well as sharing as much of it as possible. Thanks again for everyone who has helped me along the way, if it wasn't for you none of this would have happened. My plans are to just enjoy it the way it is now for a while, at least till next spring. Then it will be on to Stage 3, which will be "Becoming the DC Cruiser". But like I say, for now I'm just gonna set back and enjoy what I have. Thanks again for those who followed and complimented my work. You guys keep it fun! :drinks:

That is sweet! Voltage doesn't drop below 13v either. Those Kickers don't know what hit em!

Thanks man. Yeah, its not doing half as bad as I thought it would.

Yesterday I added a ground to the alt case, and another positive run from front to back.

And re-installed my H.O. alt. (I hadn't ever put it back in after being repaired)

Before doing that, it would reach down to high 12's for short moments. Now she really never goes below 13v at all! :clapping:

I am SO happy I got that amp! :yahoo: And your right, the Kickers don't know what to think!

Btw, more demo videos coming today - keep on the lookout!

Hey guys , here are the pics of the ground I added to my alternator yesterday, along with a second run of 1/0 positive to the rear battery. Boring, but I wanted to make sure they were in there.
