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. Just a friendly tip. LMAO :D:P:p

Haha I know how build logs work...but I figured most people just scroll really fast and dont read anything they just want pretty pictures lol! Figured I would just save them scolling...this is just another piece of the puzzle for my current build I figured it would get more attention here an figured it did deserve its own page so thats why I posted and hey if someones wants to make their own...hey can see how I did it and make it even better! Would be cool if something like this catches on :)

Also thanks for the share on facebook...made my day lol!

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. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are!

I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

ok I've been asked a few times how this will be internally wired so here's an idea

Dont know about all amps like this but this ones comes with holes drilled and tapped into the amp so all you need is some screws :) to get the remote turn on I'll solder to the internal side of that...same as speaker lead for the OM-1 :)

here's what I mean

closer look

2014-05-23_13-03-16_5_zps28117d61.jpg

only wires that will come out of the amp are the rgb led's only because I am doing two amps and will use one controller for both...maybe if this was a 10k I could fit the controller into a bigger amp...this set up..wouldnt be woth that much modifying.

also now you can see I've got some progress done on the other 5.0k :) still allot left but its a start!

How are you mounting it upside down? Here's how I did mine:

Some semi-flexi water pipe and brass tube from Lowe's. Bolts and then T-nuts on the underside.

Also, did you wire a switch in there? Or a relay? I could see a relay with the signal from the remote turn-on from the HU, but I didn't see a switch or relay at all in there.

I doubt they will I mean you would tap into these inputs anyway from the outside of the amp sooooI doubt they should mess things up...I stated earlier that this will have an external fuse that I can change out incase of a short, so the guages and amp are protected individually, as far as power consumtion...these meters draw probably less than 5 amps..havent hooked them up and checked for sure but I'm using dual inputs so there should be no problem...should but someone more educated could chime in and back me up.

This is very nice work man. I thought I was doing well when I put a simple plexi back on my 5.0k lol.

Also, did you wire a switch in there? Or a relay? I could see a relay with the signal from the remote turn-on from the HU, but I didn't see a switch or relay at all in there.

umm no each guage has power ground and remote turn on...so all three ground tied to gether run to ground from amp all three positives tied together ran to positive block and all three remote wires tied together ran and soldered to the remote turn on to the amp...if you are refering to the fans they are completely controlled by the TM-1 to kick on at 100 degrees f...if any one doesn't know about the TM-1...definatly do some research...its a bad ass tool ;)

As for mounting the amps..if you notice all the allen head bolts the three middle and three top only srew into the holes I drilled and tapped into the heat heatsink the 4 corner allens go all the way through them amp and will be what hold the amp to the amprack..follow..it will be slightly spaced so it isnt contacting the rack.

But damn dude great looking install! Honestly love the wire organization and obviously love the green SHCA wire....wish I could have done that :( because I love green! The way you spaced it is what most people do and looks fantastic! This is just how I decided..I may shave off the mounting feet entirely for a cleaner look and so its easier to see my gains and such when installing.

DAMN! (O_O)

haha trust me I was drooling slightly when I finished the wrap and started screwing it to the amp...I'll admit kinda excited to have something original ;)
