MrSkippyJ Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 And just about done. Good news and bad news. Good news: I can now monitor my voltage. Bad news: My voltage. It's fun trying things I have never tried before and learning what I did wrong and how to do it better in the future. For this, my plan for making the seam between the Lexan and the panel look good didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but it isn't awful. You can also see some of the mounting tabs when the sun hits the Lexan just right. Neither of those are a deal breaker and in the end the VM-1 works and looks pretty good where it is installed. However, learning some more tricks and skills will make jobs like these go from looking decent to looking professional. Live and learn right? Anyway...on to pics!!out of the car, but in the console. The seam is NOT finished here, you can still see the plain silicone. In car, engine OFF. In the car, car ON. Panel is NOT seated all the way, on purpose. It does fit flush however.

MrSkippyJ Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Oh, a bit of the wiring. Put a disconnect thingy so I could still take the panel out if I wanted too.

MrSkippyJ Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks man! I got the trim piece painted, just letting it dry. It's pretty "amateurish" work but it is also the first time I have ever done anything like this at all. I am pretty happy with it and have some better ideas for making it look better next time. That's how I learn anyway, just go and do it!

MrSkippyJ Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Couple of night shots...damn it's cold outside :/ And it is not anywhere as near as bright as the picture makes it seem.

MrSkippyJ Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 i got tired real quick of being able to see through the tint. You could see glue and the mounts though the lexan. So I decided to blast it with some paint except right over the read out and this is what I ended up with...it's not crazy good by any means but it works, is 100% functional and doesn't look like total shit, just partial shit soo many shadows at night... and it's on...this thing is not anywhere nearly as bright as the picture makes it look...

MrSkippyJ Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Finally got around to re-adjusting my gains. I tuned the amp with the DD-1 but had to back the gains down because a T400.4 was a bit much for a single T1652-s component set. Or at least I thought it was. Since then, I have completely redone my front stage and never got around to setting the gains accordingly. So I figured the weather was decent so why not. Went ahead and re-did my sub amp gain since I was re-doing everything anyway. My amps are below the seats and you have to take the seats out to unhook any wires. So I figured why not do a time lapse and see what it looks like. So here it is...kinda boring...kinda not.

MrSkippyJ Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 got some rain the other day, some got into my car, nothing got wet but carpet though. so now my car stinks but I got all the padding out so it can dry and lifted the carpet up so it would dry. Everything inside the car is drying quickly and the thick padding is out in the sun drying. anyway, here is a pick of the rain. It's hard to see but the water is up to my knees. This was after I moved my car, so my car is not in the picture in case you are wondering. You can barely see it, but there it is.

MrSkippyJ Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Added an ipad mount so I didn't have to use the volume knob to scroll through my iPod. I don't have to fiberglass skills to build it into my dash so I bought a mount and it works well. Plus, daytime photo of the VM-1 Also can flip this way F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
