252chevyboyz Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I appreciate it man. I can also use all the input I can get. I got the redesigned amp rack built this morning. Everything it is installed and ready for the coat of bedliner to come. The power and ground wires arent quite flexible enough to run them up through the amp rack but once I move my ground to the frame I am going to do my best to atleast get the ground coming up through the amp rack. Yea I have been scanning the internet for any Eastern NC shows and I found a NSPL event in High Point, NC near Charlotte but it was on the 22nd and I didnt find it til yesterday. Ill shoot you the link in a PM. Here is the amp rack I built this morning: **Power and ground arent flexible enough to run up through the amp rack and make such a sharp turn but I will do my best to hide the ground when I relocate it to the frame.** -James - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch0sen Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 looks pretty sweet under the seat there, and having the amp lifted up will help with air flow.

252chevyboyz Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I appreciate it there ch0sen. I dont have very much room under the amp rack maybe about 3/4"of an inch average under it. so I put those spacers under the feet so I hopefully will have room to add a fan. I am still thinking of a way to add the fan in such limited space. The reason I used the 2 different types of wood was because the mdf was 3/4" thick and the particle board was 1/2" thick. With the thinner particle board I had more room to work with height wise. The 1/0 Flex-A-Prene cant make the sharp bend needed to be run up through the amp rack so I am still planning a way to get it running up through the amp rack. Any ideas? Also anyone have any ideas on what to do with the bass knob wire? I am trying to keep from taking my front seat out cause it is a pain to get it in and out. I will post a pic of how I got the bass knob wire run below.

Swan99Hoe Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Zip tie all the slack under the amp rack. My truck has a mat that goes all the way across the floor in the back so I ran mine under that.

252chevyboyz Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thats what I was thinking of trying tomorrow. I guess i'll try it under the amp rack and any other place I can find to see which one looks the cleanest. Mine came with a mat but it had a tear in the middle of it that aggravated me so I had to replace it. Haha yea I know kinda OCD about the little things. Here is the most current video I uploaded to YouTube. Kinda more or less the excursion of the sub. The suspension in the sub is still so tight I imagine not all the xmax is there like it will be with 15-20hrs of playtime on it.

252chevyboyz Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 This is my first attempt at a shirt trick. Not the best but the AQ is indeed moving a little air. - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252chevyboyz Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I appreciate it man. The gain knob was right about 3/4 so I still got a little more power to throw to it while still achieving clean power. Also looking to set my amp with a DD-1 if I could find one in NC. I was surprised when I saw it was moving the shirt though. On your AQ's did you throw full power at them right to start with or did you back off on the power for the first 10hrs or so? - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
