Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c

that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it

if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain

Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..............go fuck yourself lol

I'm liking how that temp box came out. I definitely wouldn't have the patience to do that.

Thank you. Welcome to the thread that never ends.

Favorite build on smd bro. Looks good

Wow, thanks bro!

Def looks good, and as far as pics? I don't have problems with em. They all show up for me.

Thanks. Ya they're hit and miss when it happens. But I also went through and deleted a ton of old pics, so maybe they'll work now. It seemed to move faster on the actual site after I did it. Time will tell.

Well, don't forget there's a lot of talk and deciding, and I'm going to's and stuff like that. But I do get a little carried away with the pics sometimes when I do get to work on it.

Not sure how much I can get done today, but we'll have to see where the day takes me. I have a birthday party for my best friends son's 9th birthday today, and my daughters are coming with me. That's from 1-4. I have some stuff to do this morning. So that leaves the evening. Not sure how much I'll be able to break out and do. So it's looking more and more like the weekend is done for me. I'm gonna see if I can get my brother over here before the party and see if he can help me lift the box in the truck. If I can get that done, I can do some wiring this week, little bits at a time.

Stay tuned! BTW, going back and looking at the pics, I'm still very happy about how the battery tray worked out! VERY HAPPY! Would be ecstatic if I would've welded it and made it out of metal!

Little parts update for you guys. I bought a new steering box, power steering pump, and a fuel filter today. Should be here this week. Not audio related, but this thing is gonna drive like a dream after next weekend! Can't wait!

Nothing is getting done today. Wish I could, but I'm zapped! Been in the heat all day with the kids and I simply have no energy for anything! I'll see about getting some stuff done this week.

That's all!

Looks amazing dude. Those little remote turn on strips are sick huh? where did you find the relay diagram?? And what exactly does your relay do? Relays confuse me.

They're just barrier strips and I used bridge connectors to connect them all, then soldered connectors on the wires. I've got a shit ton of these barrier strips laying around from other builds. I love them, they really tidy up the wiring! Imagine how big it's gonna have to be when I have 7 amps in here, and other things to run off the remote!

The relay diagram I got on google, but you can go to the12volt.com and they have a ton of wiring diagrams and stuff there. Great place to learn electronics and electrical etc. LOTS of vehicle specific diagrams and alarm diagrams and all kinds of stuff. Easy to get lost on that site! LOL! I'm going to be using it to do the alarm and remote start on the truck. Gotta get working on that so noone violates my masterpiece!

A relay can do thousands of things, depending on how you wire it up. This on in particular, is boosting the remote voltage for the remote wire off the deck. That way, i'm not trying to run a bunch of things off a small voltage wire. Instead it takes it and boosts it, and I can run multiple things. It's gonna get tricky when I get all the amps in there cause I've never ran a system that large before. I may have to do two or three different relays to make it work. Anyone wanna enlighten me on that I'd be much appreciative!

So I was talking to my lovely this morning and telling her I was going to try and get my brother over here to help me get the box in the truck. He lives way across the other side of town and isn't always that reliable. Anyway, she shocked the hell out of me and said, "well why don't I try and help you. Not sure I can be much help but I can at least try. You've been working hard on that thing and I'd hate for something to happen to it"! So after picking my lower jaw up off the ground from shock, I gladly accepted her help! So that bitch is going in the truck tonight!

I'm also going to head on over to harbor freight and pick up a rivet nut tool so I can neatly attach it to the wall. I'm also going to use this for other things too, the door panels, the back wall panel when it's done, the center console, and probably the center roof mount.................whoops did I let that out? :peepwall" So anyway, I'm going to get one of those cause it'll come in good use for me. <~~~~~is that even a complete sentence! It must be Monday!

I'm also going to seriously look into a welder as well. I'm going to really need it soon for other parts of the truck. I need to do new side bars for the truck, or lower the current bars with brackets, and I need to make a new battery box at some point to replace my wooden one, I'll need to make battery boxes for under the truck, I'll at some point be seriously trying to do a dual alternator set up and need to do brackets for that, I'll have to replace my exhaust soon (want duals that terminate and drop down below the bed, not out of the back or sides), and I would love nothing more then to be able to make a nice beefy bumper for front and back! That would be SICK!! So I need to learn to weld, so that's getting bumped up on the list for sure!

Looking for a nice bed shell for an 8' bed which are not always easy to find on craigslist. If I can get that, I'd love to eliminate the truck box all together and just do a sub enclosure instead of a sub enclosure inside the tool box.

I'm just rambling things off now. So hopefully I'll get some pics taken tonight. Much more to come very soon! This should be playing, if I have anything to say about it, tomorrow night, latest Wednesday night!

:roflmao:

It's all good.

Hey guys, here's the deal! Truck box sub enclosure starts in 2 - 4 weeks. I leave for my river trip on the 25th, and I don't come home till the 2nd. Gonna get some wood picked up and stockpiled between now and then. When I get back, one of those weekends, 4th & 5th are open, and then I have a softball tournament on the 11th and 12th, then I'm free. So somewhere in there this thing is starting! Been talking with a few folks, much more knowledgeable than I am, and this will be the final design!

View from the cabin, like if you were looking out the rear window.

Port view - the little black dots btw, are threaded rods. I have another thought in mind for bracing but I need to see how it would work first.

Upper side view

Rear view, looking from the bed toward the cabin.

Amp Rack at this point will still go on either side of the port. I may see about putting them somewhere else, but I have time to think about that.

So what do you guys think?
