dionysus Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 By the time I got the plastic off and the metal cleaned, the temperature was about 42 degrees F. Wayy too cold to work with deadener and kind of too cold for me to be working outside in general lol. So looking like 60 degrees tomorrow with all day sun, then I can park her in the sun and get to work! Doing both the outer and inner metal layers anyway, which will take some time and it was getting late. Took my left over time to start er up, get some heat and flush mount my voltage meter. 14.4 with no subs running, headlights on. Stays at around 14.7 while driving without lights on and 13.8-13.9 at full tilt, lights on. Was pleasantly surprised with my voltages! There is a small metal tab behind the meter that stops it from clipping all the way in. As you can see, the top right is out just a little bit. Will bend the tab slightly, tuck the parking brake and meter wires in better and clean my dirty console tomorrow lol. That's where I was going to mount mine too but I think im switching amp companies so I don't want to cut into it yet (I have a CT1400.1, the voltage meter is built into the bass knob) I like how yours looks there Build log link, (Slow Build) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183469-dionysuss-02-eddie-bauer-explorer-slow-budget-build-sundown-4-chan-guts-pg-4/ Team AB son!

They're seriously under rated amps too, dynoed at like 2380RMS @1ohm I believe it was, maybe it was .5 The test was done by Steve himself so i'm sure it's easy to find the video.

AstoSoup Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lol yepp, my theme is going to be orange and black, with the l.e.d's red. Orange wire and red l.e.d components are hard to find, everyone is into blue! My amp lights up blue and clashes too, thankfully the amp is on it's way out soon when I add the second 15! Build will slow down for a short period over the holidays, as they will consume all of the extra cash I need for a good amp/amps. Subs are on credit, so the second 15 is on the way.... Wood for box and amp will be after Christmas though for sure. Going to focus on sound deadening, mid/highs and electrical right now.
