Looks like I get the car back Tuesday from the shop that's building my box. Ill have some pics of there after install when I get it back.

[boostin302]

well this is long over due for a update. just been busy with college , wife and kiddo. that and bumpin the shit of my system.

so here is some more pics. it is done minus mids and highs which will come this coming winter!

here is the box after being built and resined.

1/0 being ran. second battery is behind the passenger seat.

[boostin302]

1/0 under the car, zip tied up out of the way. 2 runs of pos and neg from front battery to second battery

final run of 1/0 under the hood and ready to be trimmed

all 1/0 is soldered. over 30 1/0 soldering connections made

checking for voltage lose.

test fit on the second battery. i used expandable foam to hold the battery still in the battery box since it liked to slide around

[boostin302]

i made my own buss bar. 1/8 steel plate. edges grinded down so they dont cut the wire jacket. these will be replaced this coming winter with alum buss bars

made a fuse bracket that bolts to the power steering fluid resivor. painted it yellow to match the car. holds the 2 fuse holders for the 2 pos runs from front batt to second batt. and the 3rd one is for the alt.

here is the amps. i have one on a rack i made on the side and the other amp is mounted on the sub box with rubber isolaters

checking the Ohm load of the subs with some scrap wire

[boostin302]

if your wondering about the subs, they are 12 inch treo SSX subs. grossly under rated at 2000 watts RMS.

ran the port through the rear deck. port measures out at 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 (outside specs)

i made a cover to go under the rear deck lid cause i didnt like how it looked. i also resin'd the underside of the deck lid cover so it wasnt such a pieace of shit.. i'll be making a new custom one soon out of plywood. the cover also helps seal off the trunk. under the cover is alot of expandable foam

here it is all done before i sealed off the trunk.

[boostin302]

here is the boxed sealed off from the trunk.. i have some cleaning up to do and i'll be replacing the bottem carpet since i got some foam on it. i made a cardboard backing to fit in and foamed over it. the applyed fiberglass resin over the foam to seal it off.

everything up under the hood in place where it should be.

for now i am running a stock alt with the 2 optima yellow tops. at idle i have voltage drops but driving around, its nowhere bad. i usually stay at 13.6 volts. i give all demos at 2k RPM and just enjoy my system.
