gckless Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Very nice! Have these mods interfered with the sound output of the amp at all? 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. Edit: Nevermind, didn't read that far. Thank you thank you! dude just showing the amps guts is a project in and of it's self!! mounting it upside down makes everything challengin! Soo props to you and everyone else who loves to show amp porn like this lol...mine is slightly R rated..i put some lingerie on mine lol! 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. 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. Yeah man, I think it would look really good if you cut off the mounting feet. Also, even though you have the fans in there, don't forget that the heatsink for the large heat-generating components (the MOSFETs) is the case itself, which those aren't cooling. Basically just saying to make sure you space it enough. But I think you know what you're doing Quote "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

goodvibez Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 /\/\/\/\ I agree from underneath the feet arent that attractive, and yes will also have plenty of fans throughout so theres also will be a tm-1 in my dash that controls fans on the amp rack's got limited space in my crew cab so I'll have amps under the box along the back wall and possibly mounted behind the back seat close to the port we will see Nice work turned out well Thank you sir, I think it looks pretty swell myself! 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 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 BTW forgot to post this up in the log but here's a demo of the fans kicking on and off, not the best quality but I wanted to test it before I put it in just to make sure it was wired and set properly...figured showing it in action wasn't a bad idea iirc the instructions state if you run more than 4 fans to use a relay and I'm running 6 with out one...these are very thin profile small 40mm fans that should be just fine to run off the TM-1..at least in testing they did just fine.

goodvibez Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That is sick. Awesome work Thanks buddy! Cant wait to get it in.... haha! Fuck dude, now I want em' back, LMAO Haha I think the price just went up a bit lol! Side not I'm not sure the duals are going to work...the back wall that these will mount on puts them reeeal close which is going to be hard to get all that wire squeezed inbetween them...didnt realize I dont have the space....So on that note if I cant I'll make sure To send um' back to you ...the inputs not the amps haha!
