Noobtastic14 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Liquid Cooling system update for the build log: With the Floor removed, the water system sits in front of the spare tire and under the back of the subwoofer box. The tube on the left is hot water entering from the woofers, to the right is the water being pumped out and down to the radiator. The hose in front shows me how low the water level is View of the radiator, radiator fan, and feed tube from the pump above. The radiator sits at an angle and does not sit below the exhuast/body but it does sit just below the plastic The radiator is sold as a dirtbike radiator, so it comes with a protective grill. Its also inside of the rear tire and out of the direct dirt/water/rock spray. The woofers are wrapped in 7ft of copper piping and coated in Heat conductive silicone. To keep its shape and contact with the motor, its wrapped in stretchy rubber tape and a few plastic zip ties. I measure the motors with the shown traditional thermometers and use the IR thermometer for measuring temp within the gap.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 So field testing the wall has had a nice positive result. The show on Saturday was pretty brutal for heat and it was affecting all the equipment as well as the people. I did some demoing and then measured Ambient outside temp: 97*F Ambient box temp: 110*F Woofer Motor inside the pole: 125*F Woofer motor outside the pole: 115*F Copper tube (water temp): 100*F I took a break and sat in the AC and played two games of boom beach (5-7min) and then rechecked the temps Ambient outside temp: 97*F Ambient box temp: 110*F Woofer Motor inside the pole: 115*F Woofer motor outside the pole: 105*F Copper tube (water temp): 100*F Ideally 110 degrees is where I'm comfortable playing them at demo outputs and the cooling setup shows that on a very hot day the water will bring the woofers back to safe levels just minutes after I finish demoing. The initial positive results are giving me more motivation to address the heat issue on the amps. I'm currently wired very low and create an awful lot of heat back there. Thanks for looking. -Drew *BTW with all the hot gear she did 153.4 I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I ended up with some serious voltage drop towards the end of the show last weekend. At the time I attributed it to a hot stretchy belt combined with an alt that was running 30 degrees higher than average. Turns out- My quarter inch angle iron bracket broke!! I'm looking into places to get it welded back up and maybe a bit of an extra support welded in or something. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Phew! Luckily the car was only down for a few days. I had a local shop weld together the bracket as well as welding in a support to reinforce the joint in the future. Also, I lowered the belt tension a bit. I had a bit of belt squeal and tightened BOTH belts when really it was only the small alt belt that needed adjusting. The result was an excessive pressure on the bracket that caused the crack (or so I'm assuming.) Either way- its back up and running! I think August 15 is the next show... -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks! Yes this is exactly how the cooling system on your car works, its just a much smaller scale. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Today's number's- Started at 113*F 10 minute drive to Chipotle at about 80% output 103*F on arrival 105*F when we left and (after another 10 minute drive at ~80% output) 97* when we got back to the house. With nothing but heat from the sun and heat from the amps the subwoofers dropped 16 degrees with liquid cooling. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
