scooter99 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Posted June 25, 2012 Looking better than a lot of 'finished' setups. X2 Looks great!... for a ford logo (; Haha I was waiting for that! But seriously, nice job Scotty! I like the silver, that was a good touch. And the logo looks sweet too! I'm excited for you to get it playing! Thanks guys! Ya I figured it was coming too! I wish I could take a day off this week and get it playing! I'm excited for it too! But it's gonna have to wait. Its a busy enough summer already with vacations and days off and I don't wanna push my luck at work. I need to pick up some hardware, a few bolts and nuts and washers for the sub wire mounts, and longer Allen head bolts for the battery. I pretty much have everything else here so its just a matter of getting it done. Thanks guys, looking forward to more by the weekend! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 So I stopped at depot last night and picked up the hardware for the box. I'm gonna see about getting it finished up tonight and hopefully get it all playing by the weekend! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build

scooter99 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Posted June 30, 2012 Ok so I have some pics, but I'm gonna wait to post em all up. I do have a concern though. I thought these subs were dual 4ohm and so I wired them up in series/parallel to get a 4ohm load. I didn't want to wire to a 1ohm load and run 2500 watts to these subs. This amp will do 1000 watts at 4ohms. But after wiring them up, and getting out the dmm, I'm getting a 1.7 - 1.8 ohm reading on the meter. Does this mean I have dual 2 ohm subs? It's fine, cause I'm still gonna be running 1700 watts at 2ohms and I think these were rated at 600watts rms, if I recall skyhighaudio telling me correctly. But I don't recall 100%. What do you guys think? I'll see about getting it all finished and ready to put in the truck tomorrow night. Still have all the wires to run in the truck. But it's getting close to being ready to go in. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build

scooter99 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 Here's some updates. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but when does that ever happen!? Right!? But I wanted to get this whole thing done and ready to be installed in the truck this week, leaving only the rca's, ground, power, remote, and speaker wires to be ran, and the head unit to be swapped and do that on Wednesday, I'm off for the 4th holiday. But I'm not so sure that's gonna happen. I had a crazy busy weekend and the time that I thought maybe I could squeeze in a couple more hours last night but what we thought was going to be a couple hour day turned into a full day. Didn't get home till 11:30 last night. Today we traveled again! But, here's what I did get done! I started Friday night since I got off early and my wife had the kids. I did have the dogs and they needed some play time as well as I needed some work time. So I drug everything out back from the side of the house and decided I'd do two things at once. It was pretty warm so I got my mister fan I made, and my misters going on the patio. Now that comfort was achieved, it was time to get busy! I decided to get started with the amps! I was only going to run the 1.2500D but I decided that the 4.500 would do well in the cabin. It would also give me some more power to my speaker boxes I made for outside. So I started laying those out! 4.500 1.2500D Fuse holder that came with it. I decided to center the amps off the subs and the logo. They actually flow pretty well I think. Now using the same threaded inserts, I mounted them up. Now that the amps were mounted and ready to go, it was time to get busy on the subs. Got out the hardware I needed and bought last week, so I could get those wired up. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 God wouldn't this look so sexy! If I only had the room to do this! So I got to wiring them up! Positive to negative from one coil to the next! Then positive and negative out. I found these the other day when getting my hardware, and thought they'd be perfect for this. So I picked them up. One for positive, and one for negative. Now let's get em attached. I used some washers with rubber attached to them. This was on the inside and out, to help seal it up. Then I got my pig tail made for the amp. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
