reedal Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Got the AQ 90x4 back today Opened up the box and found this though -__- I hate packing peanuts But! After I got them all cleaned up and out of the crevices of the heat sinks, it looks just like it did before. Like a used amp but I'm excited to hook it back up and have some damn music again!!! Too pumped!! Now I just need my PA's to get here, and I'll be a happy camper Thanks for checking out my little build 1 Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Well I put the not finished door pods in. I threw some paint on them for some color, but I'll sand it all off and finish sanding them smooth. They're pretty rough looking, but I got music again. Duty today so tomorrow when I leave the ship I'll get to work on them again. I love the PA's. Loud, clear, and sharp notes. Thinking about using Velcro to secure the pods to the door panel. Anyone done that before? 1 Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So for Memorial Day, Showtime Electronics gifted me with a $25 credit for being active duty. I did not ask for it, but I appreciated it and their support of the U.S. armed forces, whether it's active duty, veteran, reserves, national guard, or those who have given more than rest to defend our nation. When they sent me the email with the credit, I marked it "read" and left it alone. Today, I decided that since I have an alt that can output a little more power now, and will be running dual alts in the near future, I might as well upgrade my fuses since I only have 250A in the holders. So I bought some 350A fuses for front and back of two runs of SHCA 1/0 OFC wire. Bigger fuses = more power and louder right....? but for real though, just getting it ready ahead of time.

reedal Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 The carbon fiber vinyl wrap for the door pods came in today, might try and get that knocked out after the wife leaves for school. Can't tell in the picture really, but it messes with your depth perception a little, should look decent in the Tahoe, a good color contrast against the door panels I think Pics of the finished product after the work is done Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks man. Im gonna make new pods though. Im not satisfied with them. This fiberglassing is tough to get right. And unfortunately do to their shape, that self-adhesive wrap I bought doesn't stretch over the curvature of the pods, so that's a bust. But, I bought it and have plenty, it'll look great on a sub enclosure Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Came home to find my fuses waiting for me today. Unfortunately that one that doesn't say 350A in white is a 250A. So there was a little mix up when they packaged it I guess, but I've contacted showtime electronics and am awaiting their reply. They've had great customer service so far, so I'm sure that this will take no time at all to be corrected.
