scooter99 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 hi scoot!!! how are you? your mom? it's all ok now? I'm doing well actually. I'm headed out to see her today. First time in a week. It's not all ok really, but it's on the road to there. That's about all I can say. Things are getting better! Thanks for asking! PAC module or maybe snafu can whip something up. Actually I'll probably just pick up an Axxess Universal one. It's pretty easy to work with! Thanks!

scooter99 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Ok guys. So I went to Home Depot after bootcamp this morning and picked up a couple things. I got a Rabbeting bit for the router, and a couple small sheets of 1/4"(approx) acrylic. I'm going to finish breakfast, and get out and see if I can get this amp rack put together before the Niner game starts! Hopefully I can do that! Hopefully pics up later!

scooter99 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well as depressed as I am cause my Niners lost, I'm going to update anyway! Here we go! I managed to get some work done today. I know I was working on the tablet and some other stuff a while back and I decided to try and switch gears a bit to get this thing moving along. I decided I needed to get the trunk done before I go any further in the front. So I went out today and got that started. I started to redo the rear deck amp rack. If you will recall I was building the old one already and that was before I switched from the LRx amps to the Hertz HDP amps. Basically I used the same rack I already started, but I removed the front panel, and put in a new one which I had to kerf so that it would go along the curve of the base. Next I had to make the cover panel, and some templates, etc. I'll let the pics do the talking. Here goes! Here we have the 3 amps (2 HDP4's and an HDP5), the birch precut from the last build, and some other tools. Here you can see I had to lay out the amps. Then it was time to cover them up so I could start the process of making templates etc. Decided to change it up cause it really effected the outlining with the tape. Got my trusty rigid jigsaw out to cut the templates out. I was originally going to use a rabbeting bit with the router, but after looking at it, and thinking about it, it wasn't going to work. These amps step up in the middle and then there are some other reasons it just wasn't going to work. So, jigsaw it is!

scooter99 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I thought these were going to be a problem. They angle out, the bottom or base is wider than the top of the amp. But as you will see later, it doesn't effect it at all. HDP5 HDP4 Lets get the rack altered and built. This was the front piece I had to remove and replace to go out to the curved edge. Right now it's straight as a rectangle. The middle HDP5 amp won't fit this way! Need more room!

scooter99 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Got it on, and now it's time to trim up the cover panel. First I needed to router trim it, but this won't matter much later. You'll see. Trim bit Not really happy with that joint, but I know it this will need some finishing so I'll take care of that then. Trimmed up! Now that I've got that done, it was time to do some templates. Rabbeting bit My jigsaw cut templates, these need to be smaller, which is where the rabbeting bit comes into play. Cut out. New template on top, old on the bottom. Now using those templates, I put a flush trim bit in, and cut my new final templates for the bottom layer of the cover. PERFECT FIT! Beautiful, I couldn't be happier! This is the HDP4 Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
