Father and Son Project: 2002 Yukon - Rockford Fosgate Sound System Install - ROUND 2 - NEW Amp Rack installed - FIRED UP! page 23


Recommended Posts

I am a HUGE RF fan, so this build is killer IMO! May not be the loudest, most extravagant build of the month, but without a doubt the cleanest and my personal fav! Love the location of that amp rack, keeps it squeaky clean :) I would do something with that factory subwoofer in the side panel, maybe a mid bass? Either way, awesome work and great to see your son shares your passion!

A midbass that far back would most likely get drowned out by the subs. If not it would be pulling the sound stage back which does t help for the sound quality.

Could be a great place for an extra battery though. Just needs some fab work.

Time to move up front and get the electrical squared away. Did i have to put an XS Power battery in a system this small? Probably not. But it's principalities involved here. So why not. A D3400 fits PERFECTLY in the stock location. With the side post adapters, it's just lovely. Available @ http://www.wccaraudio.com of course (cheap plug :D). I also slapped on a billet aluminum cover because i have several collecting dust on my shelves. I like the way it looks and so does Antheny.

XS Power D3400 FTW.

Side Post Adapters work really well. Leave the stock stuff where it is and just add on as i please to the top. Perfect!

Here is a shot of his ride for those that don't know. My old Oasis 24's with some plasti-dip over the chrome for a nice black on black look.

Yes, eventually we will drop it a few inches. One thing at a time please (because i know SOMEONE will say something). We only have 2 hands :D Give it time.

Time for the Big-Three and a 1/0 run to the amp rack. We used XS Power OFC 1/0. We are using Skyhigh 12ga and RF 16ga Speaker wire for the other cables. We are using a Skyhigh Audio ANL fuse holder and Skyhigh Terminals/heat shrink.

To answer your question before you ask...there is no immediate plans for a High Output alternator. I have several in my "boneyard" and i think one or 2 might still be good. That is an option for later. But for now, just a RF punch 1000.1 and 300x2 really won't bother this stock 100a alternator IMO. If it does, we will for sure swap out but i just don't think it is necessary at this time. I'm not against it though! we might! just wait and see.
Also, the ANL fuse holder is on the other side of the factory electrical panel. For some reason there is no picture of it. It isn't put together yet anyway since we are not done running the 1/0 at this time. I won't put the fuse in until it's time to fire it up. It's just a fuse, nothing you haven't seen before :D

We needed a place to put a few Rockford Fosgate distribution blocks. I didn't wanna just screw them to the carpet. So i had this old piece of bent acrylic on the shelf from an old project...decided to use it. Found a great spot. First i had to touch it up with some paint because it had some scratches.

Some fresh paint and a RF decal. Should look sharp. :)

After thoroughly scraping the paint off with a wire wheel, we fastened the ground cable.

That is it for today. RCA's and actual wire from the blocks to the amplifiers tomorrow.

Looking simple sick. I love the black plate with the RF decal for the power and ground distribution blocks. My 23 yrs son and i sat down to go thru this build and he was amazed how great it looked. So you could say we had father, son time watching your father-son build.
