[727Designs]

Well, things are finally coming in for this build so I figured it was time to start a thread. Bought this truck off a buddy of mine for a pretty decent deal, he had a setup in it before so we had already put FatMat throughout, and braced the roof better.

Here's the list of equipment:

-Eclipse CD-3100 HU (On the way)

-Memphis 6x9's in the doors* (Soon to be replaced with some nice components)

-Kenwood KAC-6485 on mids/highs* (Soon to be replaced with a Memphis 4 channel)

-Ascendant Audio Mayhem 15" D1*

-Memphis Mojo MC-2000D*

-Singer 265A alt (On the way)

-2/0 OFC Big 3* (More like big 5, I like extra grounds.

-2 Interstate reman 800CCA batteries in the stock box (Don't have, I get them for about $15 each with a 2 year warranty Lol), 1 Everstart Maxx-49 in toolbox* (Scored it for $50 brand new with warranty since that style is no longer being carried)

-2 runs of B+ 1/0 from front to back (On the way)

-2 runs of - 1/0 from front to back (On the way)

-Toolmaker Dual Inputs (On the way)

-PAC LC-1 (On the way)

* = Already have it

I also ordered a DD-1 to try out on this build and compare head to head with my Fluke O-scope. Will have that review in here as well.

Here are some pics of the progress so far, nothing is in the final stages and will be cleaned up before finished.

Finished:

ALL terminals will be soldered and heatshrunk:

Big 3 and the 2 batteries in the stock box: (Excuse the mess, this will all be redone soon, mostly just a test of fit/function)

Amp:

Sub:

Just a few of the fuse holders: (If anyone is needing some cheap quality fuse holders I highly recommend this place. They are InstallBay holders which look identical to my SoundQuest ones (Cheaper line from Stinger). Paid $7 shipped each for them on Friday evening and they where here by Monday morning!)

That's all for now. Alot more progress in the next few days as things show up. Should have the box knocked out this weekend.

Was thinking sub forward, port up. I'll listen to any advice you'd like to give though

Some more small things came today:

I talked to all of the major companies, and Mike was my clear choice. Best price, best warranty, by far the best customer service. Answered EVERY single question I asked him whether alternator related or not, and did so in a very timely manner. Can't wait for it to come in.

Current setup (Nothing worthy of mentioning. Is sub forward, port side and works very well. I haven't messed with a Ranger much, but in my F150 sub forward port up seemed to work best, figured this would be similar. You have me curious now though. Will definitely look into it further.
