New work boots, 13 double wide. Like wearing hooker heels.

I also free aired the 18 on saz2500 @1ohm. Just on battery power, no gain, I can tell these subs are going to be nasty :) I can't wait.

Here's a small update. Pulled the stock battery to drop my D3400 in. Had to mod the battery tray. Pain in the ass using dremel cutting wheels lol. Repainted it. I went to start my big three and just getting ready to start running wire in general. Well couldn't find my hammer, roommate moved it and didn't tell me. Took almost an hour to find. I was pissed. I ended up breaking my hammer crimper once I found it. Got one crimp.... I didn't like the diyma 0ga terminals really... I also pulled the front differential actuator while the battery was out, to hopefully find my 4wd issue and I did.



Stock :(

Decent size difference.

Modding the tray

20130326_191626_zps624a85fd.jpg


Took way too long with a dremel tool...

20130326_191647_zps5cb23ee7.jpg


Nice fit :)

20130326_202006_zps0228db95.jpg


That's why it won't lock in :(

I got under the truck, cleaned/scraped the frame treated with the rust/paint shit and it looks way fawking better. Painted the receiver hitch, tail pipe and bomb canned the finder wells. I can say it looks way better. Still gotta do the spare tire mount and get the whole truck painted but oh well.



yuk

Fender flares and all that jazz too....




Saturday, I should be able to get the HU in finally. Just going to cut up the factory dash bezel for now. Spent my extra monies on ordering an mechman elite 370a alt.


10 ton crimpers should be here tomorrow. So back to wiring :)


Next weekend the blazer should be getting some wood.

More updates. Crimpers won't be here until Tuesday, which I'm still pissed about... I planned getting my big three and few runs done today... But good news is, my MechMan elite 370a alt will be here Tuesday. Which I paid for on Wednesday, so that's what I call service! I'm excited. So I'll be busy this week. Next weekend, some wood should be going in :)


Also I got my avh-x5500bhs in. It's an amazing unit. No homo. Just on stock speakers, the sound is night and day different. Streaming bluetooth audio is great. CD is even better. I still need yo ground the parking brake line, hook up the "reverse light" wire, backup camera and aux cable lol. I'm really liking it so far.



Had to scrap all the dash kit crap. I picked up some metal strapping or plumbers tape. I didn't like how flimsy it was. I found some "J-hook" straps we on wood poles to do cable drops. It about three times as thick, so much more strength. I only took two pics. I was just focused haha.


Kind of temped with wire nuts. Eventually I'll solder and shrink tube it. You can see where I added some bolts to low portion of the opening. Secured in with epoxy. Hopefully they stay in when I unbolt them lol.

I don't feel like build the dash bezel, so mustache tape to cover up the mounting.

Woooo. More progress. My 10 ton crimpers and 370a MechMan alt came in today :) I'm freaking wore out. Everything took way longer than expected but oh well. Alt works great. Had a battery light for a second but it worked out. Looks like I'm almost charging at 15v. Got Three + and - leads to my front battery. Used that FA 00g wire. Which was a bitch. But it's silver tinned ofc!


Dem boxes :)

Zip ties ftw!

20130409_211305_zps8274bf27.jpg


Might redo the run that's kind of exposed, but it's tight.

20130409_211315_zps85a4def6.jpg


One of my pre crimps of the diyma 0ga terminals. They'll probably like 3/0 or 4/0 lol

20130409_214802_zpsb7739a0f.jpg


Hard to tell, but it's serious.

20130409_215021_zps38eb3284.jpg

More updates.


Got 8 runs of 0ga front to back done. Have a few more things I want to do to become more comfortable with it. It was bitch to run on the exhaust side plus the 4wd. Nothing is easy in this mofo.


Getting it stripped down

20130411_205105_zps3703ab64.jpg


Foam

20130411_205158_zpsda6b3036.jpg


Cutting it open!

20130420_1238161_zpsec13d9c9.jpg


Yes, they're as long as they look.

20130420_133902_zps6e584c89.jpg


Ground runs

20130420_154221_zps8d7c8652.jpg


One of those runs is strait off the alt.

20130420_192658_zpsa6b0137f.jpg


20130420_192723_zpsf905ecac.jpg


Missing the inner fender well on this side well splash part of it... Soooo, KOB zip ties and mustache tape it is.

20130420_192646_zpse23acea9.jpg


Yes it looks horrible right now.

More to do. Needed to up grade the highs bad.

20130421_145156_zpsee29d947.jpg


Putting the tweeter in the stock location.

20130421_151723_zps4846fc4d.jpg


This was fun. The tweeter wires are the nice blue ones.

20130421_151731_zps2178f777.jpg


The stocks are a little beat up.

20130421_154306_zpse2aacb76.jpg


Much better :)

20130421_170240_zps6111cc0a.jpg


Got that redneck going.

20130421_193144_zps7b920995.jpg


And some redneck rappin :)

20130421_205522_zps8ff74f59.jpg


I'm loving how the comps sound so far!
