bcpballer64 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Just read the whole thing across the last hour looks great so far. I need to go to a local junk yard and get some spare interior parts so I can do some custom stuff inside. For your box definitely have more port area the next time around. As far as those rear vents go I think it would make sense to leave them there because in most vehicles the overall score is louder when a window or something is open/down. So in theory that should fall into the same concept. Maybe a more experienced guy can concur or disagree with me on that but that is my .02 on that. Make sure you aren't choking your port by having it too close to the hatch too. Everything else in the car looks real nice though. Do you have any tips/tricks for debadging? My blazer is too run of the mill and I want to change it a little cosmetically. Also did you just wire the leds straight to the + and - of the stock bulb location on those green interior lights?

MrGrey13 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 Awesome build, really like the color choice. Check out partsexpress.com for some cold cathode lights. They have green ones that I have under my dash and they are damn brite!! Cheap too! Just a suggestion, it looks like your alt cable is going to the computer first than aniyher cable from your computer to the battery. If you go straight from the alt to the battery, you may see in increase. Worth trying atleast. i have led's that im going to try out first. but ive seen those ones on there. and i did change up the wires from the alt to go strait to the battery then another just to the fuses. and it gave me a .1-.2 volt increase.

getlocivic Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 oooo i seen that voltage drop down to 12v... i think its time for another battery but on the upside it looks like the hifonics is doing work..
MrGrey13 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Posted December 29, 2011 oooo i seen that voltage drop down to 12v... i think its time for another battery but on the upside it looks like the hifonics is doing work.. i have an xspower 3400 in there right now, its just the alt. if i rev just a little it shoots back up to 14V. and the class i like to run in doesn't allow more than 1 battery.

Socky Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 When you do your next box, make sure you have a 12-16 per cube on port area, because right now, they will open up alot more with a new box with more port area, it maybe bigger through.
