[SojiaRaggs9000]

This is my UBL for my 08 Chrysler 300. Any comments or questions please post them HERE.

First off thank you for taking a look at my thread, Hopefully you like what you see. OK so I have a 2008 Chrysler 300 Limited which I bought back in December of 2011. Here are a few pics of it at the dealership









It has a really nice tan leather interior with a light wood grain.









Then came the mods. tasteful, not over the top. Its not 100% done yet but Im going for a beefy / sporty look. All I lack is a SRT 8 front lip, trunk lip and AAC Halos. MAYBE some stripes. The mods consist of: Grip Grille with a custom modded 2010 Chrysler 300 "s" Wing Emblem (silver Chrysler ribbons rather than the OEM gold ones, 20" Chrome Challenger rims, Chrome Handles, Chrome Mirrors, Darker window tint. Custom mandrel bent dual exhaust consisting of 1 FlowMaster Super 40 and 2 4" chrome resonated tips.

New video on post #18. Enjoy!!

A few minor mods where added. WeatherTech FloorLiner floor mats. These things are great. I live in west Texas... dust, dirt rocks and all kinds of wild shit get tracked into my car on a daily basis. These mats help protect my carpet as well and make clean up a snap. Not to mention these mats looks great as well. There are only 2 down sides... One, they only come in 3 colors (Beige , Light Grey and Black). And Two, they cost $99 per set (pair)

Anyway, I finally got my car back and my build kicked up again. Im going for more of a SQL build this time around. The setup is one DC XL m2 10" on a DC 2.0k (1 ohm final load) It has an 8 speaker bose factory system ,u-connect and sirrus radio. That being said, I didn't want to mess with the factory speakers just yet. Add a RF BLD (3Sixty.2) to beable to add the sub stage for now. Anyway, this is what I came up with;



The reason for the baffle being that way is so that it can be flush mounted to the mini-wall. Which will seal it all off from the trunk area. Here are the specs: (inches)

Volume
12" H * 10" W * 29.5" D = 1.44618³ ft

Port
10.5" H * 2" W = 21in² with a port length of 33.625" (which is about 33hz)

Sub will only get rated power @ 1 ohm off the DC 2.0k so with the Volume of 1.44618³ ft - .13402³ ft of 45s and port displacement - .18³ ft of sub displacement. The sub should be seeing 1.13216³ ft after displacement.

Sorry that I didn't take any pics of actual "building" but I got in the zone and didn't stop. Plus my camera was with my relatives that when on vacation BUT it turned out better than I expected.
Upgraded all the stock wires with Knu Flex 1/0. I need to upgrade the stock battery eventually.





Added a run of Knu Flex 1/0 from the alt to the battery.





I found a stock grommet that allowed me access to the engine bay.






Haha finally got my DC XL m2 10" with all the fixin's in. Rusty even signed it for me. I can't wait to slap it in!!. Took these pics whith my cell phone while at work. I'll take better ones when I post my build log

So I got my DC 2.0k in finally. It looks sick!





I added a plexi glass back to the DC 2.0K.






I then added holes for air flow.






Then I added 2 PC fans to the plexi-glass back for even more airflow.

I was going to go this route with the trunk but I eneded up not liking the over all look. Plus Noobtastic inspired me with his plexi-glass back in his build

I also scratched the red port idea.

This ended up being a much better route. It gave the trunk some much needed sex appeal.





Added a plexiglass back, drilled holes and added 2 70 mm fans for better airflow.



The left fuse goes from the XS D3100 to the DC 2.0k. The right fuse goes from the XS D3100 to stock battery. (I even left room for dual inputs in the future)



With the way I mounted the XS D3100 I can still gain access to the stock battery with ease.




And now the box which is sealed off from the trunk. I hate rattling trunks. (the flash makes the carpet's color more dramatic than it really is)









Here are some pics without flash in the sun light.





Oh yeah and here is what it looks like behind the trunk wall. there is another wall right behind it with 2 x 4's spacing it apart. the amp fits right in between them 2 x 4's. I recycled a 1/4" "pecans for sale" sign to make my trunk wall.. its good wood so sue me haha.....

I added factory trunk carpet to the trunk lid. Makes it 100 times better in my opinion.

Here is a quick Video, in the begining it also shows how the amp fans work. They turn off and onn with the turn of a key.

Well, Here is a bit of an update. ( Sorry for the lousy iphone pics. Ill get better one when the camera is charged. )

I ditched the DC 2.0k and replaced it with a DC 3.5k with dual inputs. Re-did the trunk wall and added Plexiglas backing to the DC 3.5k. I also added cooling fans to the wall. Mainly because I couldn't fit any fans on the DC 3.5k itself. Took out my Factory 750cca battery and but my XS D3100 in its place. As well as adding five Exide deep cycle batteries (same tech as optima just different patents)

How the trunk usally looks with my tool kit in it



without tool kit



amp guts shots




Fuse holders for the positive dual inputs leads ( close to amp )



negative and positive dual inputs (leading to the battery bank below)



cooling fans



I didn't pull any punches this time around electrical wise. haha....... As you can see I added five Exide spiral tech deep cycle batteries (same tech as optima, just different patents). Each negative and positive has two 1/0 leads going to and from each post. I beat the spare tire area flat and Great Stuff foamed them into place. That black thing in between the bottom to batteries is a piece of leather. The negative and positive there are kinda close so I just put it there "just in case".



The black wire on the Positive side of the XS D3100 is the 1/0 Knukonceptz running to the alternator. The light red one next to that is the factory 1/0 that also runs to the front of the car and splits off before the alternator. ( Don't worry about that black tape lol.. its just temporary.. The D3100 sits a little high its just for safety. I'm working on something more permanent.)



The battery bank starts at the top right hand Exide battery (positive and negative are rand from that battery to the D3100) and ends at the bottom right battery which is also where the amp dual inputs are as well. ( I didn't fuse any of the batteries due to them being so close.. That should be fine yeah? Or should I at least fuse near the D3100 and the Exide?) There are two fuses on the alternator lol... Don't worry.





I also replaced my Stock alternator with a MechMan 240a alternator. According to the testing paper it does "142a at low rpm speeds and 252a at high rpm speeds." I could defiantly tell the difference as soon as I started the vehicle. The alternator on my 300 is on the bottom.. No worries, I have a car lift at work at my disposal muhahahahaha.







Also when I was re-doing the system I locked myself out of my trunk.... So I had to kick the front side of the box to get into the trunk and pop the trunk lid. Which in turn broke and I had to redo the front side of the box and the mini-wall. I'll get pictures of it later today. It needs to be re-sealed but I ran out of great stuff. Ill re-do that this weekend. Either way the single DC 10" m2 XL defiantly gets down. Quite a bit difference in loudness as well.

OK peeps here is a W.I.P. Update!! ( I'll Update as I go. )

We'll I got my hood in and been working on it. Got the custom eyelids moulded onto the hood. Did a little reshaping and test fitting last night. Seems to be coming along smoothly.

During the first test fit their was quite a bit off. So I had to sand down a bit on the eyelids.

Then I popped it on the hood to do a tad bit of test fitting. every thing line up pretty nicely after that.

Then I slapped some more kitty hair on the back of the eyelids to add strength. Now to let that dry and sand it later today.

Im one of them type of people that over think things a lot.. lol. I have to have it perfect and I have to know how what it will look like haha.

Thay being said I got a small update tonight. Did some more work on the eyelids.

I got on the sander a bit too much on the passanger side. Thats' ok. fiberglass and resine to the rescue!!

Looks ugly at the moment but don't you worry it will come around

NOW for the Driver's side. Damn near perfect if I do say so myself.

Did some more sanding, trimming and smoothing out over the weekend. I think I got it pretty smooth haha. only issuse I noticed was the corner near the eye on the left needs smoothed out.

OK so yesterday after a little more smoothing things out... I cleaned the bottom side off and Degreased/DEwaxed it. Then ran a terry cloth over it to prep for paint!

PAINT!! OH Snap... its on. Painted just the bottom side. Will do the top side today after work.

And while I was at it I also painted some of my under the hood bling... haha...

strut mount covers

Modded Infinity G35 engine cover... its gunna look sick with its 100% done. It had an oil fill hole that didn't line up to my 3.5L but I took care of that by filling it in. I also filled in the Infinity emblem. Im still debating over paint the "v6 3.5" torch red or gloss black. Also Im debating over painting the raised section of the cover black. Keep in mind, the hash marks will be torch red. What are your guys thoughts??

sexy all coolant tank!!
