goodvibez Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 ok soo guess I'll start with just some pics of building this... DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if you try anything like this and screw your self up...I'm sure this will void the amp warranty... Idk? this isn't super hard to do but there is some cash involved in this project so if I or anyone else screws something up that person is responsible for they're self that being said here's some pics Some smexy amp guts This is where I will be tapping into..hard to tell but there are holes already drilled and tapped into the power and ground blocks..found some screws that fit Will be stealing these to fuse it...yes it will be fused so I can access it from outside the amp easily...gotta be same now the fun part of coming up with a design heres how that went...first with pencil Then with sharpie was off center so I traced this and shifted it slightly with a template used a hole saw to help with getting the corners evenly used a 45 degree roughter bit all the way around inside but f'ed up one part I'll fix that with some bondo Here is an easy way to make a jig for SMD meters just cut round circles...then cut accordingly then flip the side to its flat on the bottom and glue staple...messed this up too kindo hard to judge with my hole saw the bit wandered around and put one closer than the others Then you can use double sided tape or finishing nails to hold the jig the piece you want cut and use a flush trim bit to trace perfect oulines of the odd shaped meters then I used a 45 again while the jig was still on there Testing 1 Quote Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.

goodvibez Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Did some 45 action on the plexi a little flame polish still a little rough..but it works Now I hot glued all the fans in which imho should be just fine Then started soldering all the wires to the tm-1 then I just cut a window out and decided to use a smoked plexi cover little bondo to touch up some areas, was debating on wrapping or painting so wanted a smooth finish Then drilled and tapped holes in the amp for the bolts to hold it down the outside 4 bolts go all the way though no theads to bolt the amp down to my amp rack btw...was very uncomfortable drilling holes in the external heatsinks. here's how I smoked the plexi basically used some night shades pain to black out the outsides then pulled the tape and didi a few light coats to make the guages less noticeable but still very visible when lit up 1 Quote Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.

goodvibez Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 LOVE IT LOVE IT!! very nice!!! Well thank you sir! To get a compliment from you is very humbling! Means allot glad you like it! Thanks for taking care of me when it came to getting these guages! Now all I need are my smd stickers for the plexi and it will be that much closer! I think its going to really finish it off here's a few more pics of the state it's in That's all for now, still need to finish up getting the wiring all internal(all except the led's) some decals and then sync it up with the DD-1 so it will beam red when it's clipping...that will be a challenge getting the gains set and having to get to the guage to adjust it....but not impossible...Should be back the middle of next month to finish this and the other amp up stay tuned Quote Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.

meade916 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 too bad you aren't as good at posting pics as you are at modding an amp...hint: when posting build pics you start at the beginning of the build and work your way to the finished product.

goodvibez Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 awesome project. really like the smoked plexi Thanks man..just used a can of "night shades" But I made sure to paint the backside because if you put almost any paint on the front of plexi it just makes it look like there was dust under the paint because the paint doesnt settle into pores like it would with most matereials...at lest that's what I found Amazing. I want one. Well I just showed you how to build it...get to it man haha Holy hell, that is cherry man, love it. Showing off the guts, color changing LED's and SMD meters... Haha thanks man! You missing these amps yet? Thanks again for the sweet deal! Haha, some day when I am on a big boy level I'll run big boy amps, lol. Some day..... Yeah because running two Rockford Fosgate T2500.1-bdcp's isn't big...is in my opinion..obviously that was what I was going to run before these...not to mention you have three of those amps lol!
