armykyle1 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Starting battery 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.

armykyle1 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 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 Took way too long with a dremel tool... Nice fit That's why it won't lock in I'm feeling my motivation come back lol.

armykyle1 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 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.

armykyle1 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 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.

armykyle1 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 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 couple goodies Received in less than a week! mmmmmm Bam! Top notch packaging Hmmmm It's a big bitch. Bigger than I thought. Big ole dies Old weak alt Beef Meh pic TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armykyle1 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 More meh Zip ties ftw! Might redo the run that's kind of exposed, but it's tight. One of my pre crimps of the diyma 0ga terminals. They'll probably like 3/0 or 4/0 lol Hard to tell, but it's serious. Them grounds. Plumbing. Not too bad. Down below! I like it. Success.

armykyle1 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I love the way it looks. I'm still shocked I went to a double din. But I'm definitely loving it.

armykyle1 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 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 Foam Cutting it open! Yes, they're as long as they look. Ground runs One of those runs is strait off the alt. Missing the inner fender well on this side well splash part of it... Soooo, KOB zip ties and mustache tape it is. Yes it looks horrible right now.

armykyle1 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 More to do. Needed to up grade the highs bad. Putting the tweeter in the stock location. This was fun. The tweeter wires are the nice blue ones. The stocks are a little beat up. Much better Got that redneck going. And some redneck rappin I'm loving how the comps sound so far!
