Ram, 2 18's in A STICKERBOMBED 4th! Vids on last page!

Sorry guys, this quarter at school has seriously got me bogged down with shittons of reading. I don't have much time to get things done on the car.

Anyway, I've got two out of the three runs of Knu through to the back, and I have the AQ 3500 @ 1ohm. Surprisingly my voltage is pretty solid. almost zero dimming, and the Dash voltage gauge doesn't move much at all. I'll try to shoot a video tomorrow of what the system is looking like so far. I'm hoping I have some time this weekend to head out to Blues house to get the box sealed off from the camper shell. Once Christmas break rolls around I should have more time to get the cosmetic side of things in order.

Also, no word from Crescendo. It's seriously starting to piss me off.

Pictures.

Spent 9 hours under the car yesterday troubleshooting a bunch of shit, fixing RCAS, running wire and feverishly trying to get holes drilled for 1/0. (didn't have a unibit large enough)

Peep the pink and yellow wire.

I also installed the batteries I used in the corolla. Im amazed at how well theyre holding up to the 3500.

This is my stock engine block ground. In the fucking way of everything, so I said fuck it and grounded to the alt case instead. Works just as well.

This wire looked cool when it was clean, now it just looks like total shit, oh well. I still love it.

Aaaaaaaand what buiild is complete without an injury, right?

Didn;t think about getting a picture of it, I was too worried about getting inside and cleaning it up. Since I'm retarded when I am trying to work fast, I ended up cutting myself pretty damn deep with my jigsaw. Got about a quarter inch away from hitting a vein on my wrist, which would have probably sent me on a costly trip to the hospital. No health insurance ftw! Hopefully I wont need a tetanus shot.

I'll try to update this thing when anything changes. Bare with me guys!

EDIT: oh yeah also forgot ANOTHER channel went out on me on the MB quart. So it looks like I'll be looking for another 4 channel sometime soon.

Ok, not much of an update, but here's something else.

What the back looks like until I get my battery situation resolved and can start work on cosmetics. Was in the process of dipping the rear camper window.

pillows are part of an experimental sealing off procedure.

something from China.

I'm trying to decide where to put this thing. I want to to be stealth, so having a screen on the windshield is kind of a giveaway.

So here's my first idea. It's a good spot, but I think it's a bit too visible.

If I were to put on the windshield. My other concern is windshield flex. It's probably fuck this little thing to hell and back.

I'm leaning toward this spot. It's kind of hidden, and the little flip down cupholders covers it so I canleave it down when i park the truck. Only issue is peoples feet.

Where the final spot of the radio will be. Easier for me to access and it will be almost unnoticeable with the center console flipped up.

So today I relocated the Headunit to under the seat. Decided against mounting it against the back wall since it flexes too much.

Your install is looking great. Imagine how much easier things would be if we didn't have to account for thieves.
