naaa it's just rangers just have this retarded like step right at the back of the cab. so im gonna bassically build a shelf so that the box will have a flat surface to sit on. and plus it'll give me something to kind of make my amp rack off of.

though im still unsure how im gonna secure my box so it doesn't move forward. suggestions anyone??

anyways not sure if im gonna work on this or my box tomorrow but im hoping to get some stuff done.

also im in a dilemma right now. i have 0Ga running to the back but it's not ofc wire and so i wanna replace it before i start getting to my system i want in the future and the PA880 only can fit the 4Ga. so im thinking i might try to do the big 3 with the cca 0Ga for not just so i have something to help with my grounds and what not.

but i was wondering if that seems like a good idea or not. doing a big 3 with cca wire.

thanks again revoofrustler! so glad to have an amp again. :nuts:

anyways, so today i mainly tried to concentrate on cleaning up my truck some to get ready for the new system and also to put the amp in.

so here's a couple pics of how the wiring was before.

WP_001931.jpg

the old 4Ga ground. (and yes i know it sucks)

WP_001932.jpg

the old 0Ga ground. and im planning on taking all the 0Ga out and doing the big three with it.

WP_001934.jpg

and then i cleaned up that mess of wires that was under my seat before. thank you zip ties!

WP_001935.jpg

so here's a little ground terminal that cam with the amp. i like the whole allen screw design and idk. i looks cool. so i decided to use it. (the screws i had)

WP_001937.jpg

i decided on putting the ground right in between the back seat mount and where the floor pan rises.

WP_001936.jpg

used a drill with a wire brush and got to bare metal

WP_001938.jpg

first screw about to go in!

WP_001939.jpg

well while drilling the second hole i broke my drill bit...

WP_001941.jpg

and actually i just said screw it im almost there and tried finishing it with the rest of the bit and broke it again :P

so i looked under my truck and found out i had drilled threw but it was like right on top of a cross beam and so it caught that and broke it.

and for the life of me i couldn't get the bit out and the screw wouldn't go in nice on the hole anyways so i decided to drill another one.

anyways here's the bottom of my truck.

WP_001942.jpg

WP_001946.jpg

and new hole drilled/

WP_001948.jpg

i hate cutting off a really good crimp :( but oh well.

WP_001953.jpg

got the wire in! sorry for it being upside down.

WP_001954.jpg

WP_001955.jpg

anyways got everything hooked up. at least for now. this is temporary!

WP_001958.jpg

WP_001956.jpg

anyways, i took a video of the 8" going at it and i would post it right now but my internet is being really slow right now so it's still uploading and i'll post it in a bit

Nice job cleanin up all the wire! Also, I put some screws and aluminum spacers in the box with the amp. If you build a wood "floor" to mount the amp to, you could use those screws and spacers to get a really good amount of airflow all around the amp. Lookin forward to the video! By the way, what do you have it wired to with the 8?
