2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS IB Trunk Build - RF Fi Infinity Pioneer XS Power MechMan SHCA Knu Gates ...


Recommended Posts

All these updates but no new vid of your system?

All apologies ... I just ordered my last group of "things" I need to make this whole deal complete & where I can feel totally proud of what I have done ... I am still having a slight voltage droop for my liking ... so an AUX BATT is in order ... even after the the 240A MechMan.

Give me just a short bit. Yeah, ... only 900RMS, but these amps are proving to be waaayyy hungrier than I EVER expected. Consider fixed.

I do appreciate you poking your head in though ... I hope you stop back.

Hey!!!

Finally got up the gumption to take two videos yesterday ...

This one I am playing Psyph's "Thrash Hella" ... same as in my first video when I first had the Kicker Comps & ZX amp in ...

I did what I could do to show some "flex" ... not a high-powered system, the 'lil voltage drop problem I have, ... but I think folks will like the eventual trunk shot & what I call "The Dance of The Spiders". :nuts:

... this second one is just of a song I like with what I think is a nice bass note ... "Tom Ford" by Jay-Z ...

Thanks for asking throughout the build for wanting to see vids, etc. If you read the above post or two, you will see a few things I have coming that will help me address that last couple problems I am running into ... Getting near the end of the build is actually exciting for me.

EDIT: FWIW - Above videos recorded with my Samsung Galaxy S3.

Before ...

After ...

c19f7215-ca93-46a8-9422-6471fdc20098_zps

Yup, ... a swap over from breaker to fuse (ANL).

Folks have been questioning my use of breakers since the inception of this build (I have always used them in builds ...), & the debates were never worth the "back 'n forth". The reason for the change is with the higher output MechMan, I needed higher than 200A, & RF did not have a >200A breaker, so I jumped on their fuse holder & 300A ANL fuse offerings ... I have another RF holder & fuse for out back ... gotta protect the cable on both ends, ya know?! :nuts:

Pictured in an above post, I did grab a holder & 300A fuse from SkyHigh ... which, for aesthetics, I am probably going to end up mounting under the hood where I have the RF right now ... then I can put both of the RF's (matching) on the POS in & POS out of the XS Power D975 that will be going in the trunk.

Stupid, F'n OCD ... Ugh! :aggressive:
