My Slow exploder build *It's Not dead Yet*


Recommended Posts

Ok here we go. This will maybe be the last bit of enjoying all the spance in the back of the truck. Had to help get my buddies 18's over to local audio shop for recones.

Also got 2 PA 18's in there.

Needless to say he was trying to tell me that it would look pretty nice in my truck. Im not doing it.

So down to business. Time to get the Mechman in. I came up to my job to do it cause it's a little on the cold side and wasnt gonna caught in the rain. So the shop was the spot.

I should of recorded my friends reaction when he saw the difference between the two. He's not into the car audio so this was a whole new thing to him.

And here it is all mounted up.

That one run you see in the back is gonna go from Alt to the back. Im gonna do another run battery to back. Next stop battery.

I got to get some Lexan or something to make a mount to keep it on center console.

Tip for the day of the install. If it looks like a short cut to get the job quicker. Dont do it. Sometimes the short cut might take you longer to do.

OK so i got some beats in the truck, I dont have any pics of running the RCA's and stuff cause i was in the zone and taking pics was the last thing going through my head.

Got the D6500 in the bay. Soon i'll order up some toolmaker terminals for it.

Heres what's getting put in. Airshocks did a good job of keeping it up

Quick morning shot of how it sits. Yes the amp is mounted to the box for now. It'll move once i change up the subs. Planing to put 2 15's in it. The amp should find a better home.

Another small little update. I got my hands on some Deadener. The buzz from the rear hatch was killing me. So after waiting around i saw that CT sounds had the ebay store loaded up with some deals. So i jumped on the 24sq.ft 60mil and got to work

That's all for now. Next stop Headliner and more deadener in the roof.

Well I planned on taking pics as it went on. But I forgot to take lots of them while I was helping with the box.

Getting started

20140807_112121_zpsjivp6l0g.jpg

Boom done just like that.

20140807_144812_zpshkjo7irz.jpg

My first hit, sealed, dash, burp

20140807_150657_zpsvpjothfe.jpg

Then with a little adjustment we squeezed a little bit.

I think I need a little more sauce. After a little more playing and next time I get on the meter will hook up the amm1 and see what kind of power the fl2 is sending and see what it's gonna take to hit the 50. Note to self, Flush trim bit is scary when the bearing blows up.
