scooter99 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 This shows the wiring inside the box, nothing special. Looking nice. If I may suggest something, I would get a nut and blot to hold those wires instead of a couple of screws. They may back out and then you'll end up with loose connections and have to get back in there again. Just a suggestion.

Then I managed to get terminal rings that were too small for the bolts that I bought. It sucks not having a "bucket of bolts" like I always did when I lived with my parents. I'm now working on correcting that, all random screws and nuts are thrown into a coffee can. I'll bolt the wires like you suggested before it's all said and done.

scooter99 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I hear you. I used to say forget it I'll just buy new ones, and then realized, I may need something random down the road so I save them all now.

lowcel Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Time for another update, this will show some of the progress I made yesterday. First off, toss the amp rack I built on Sunday, it just wasn't going to do the job. I have no idea why PPI couldn't center the emblems on their amps. Next was try a couple of other layouts. I ended up deciding to angle the PPI's with a small viewing panel. I ordered the polycarbonate lexan for it today. I love how this piece looks. I hate that I'll only be able to see a 1/2" or so of it once I make the cover panel. Next was the sub cover panel. Unfortuantely once I built it I discovered that I had to cut it in half to get in in the vehicle. I only managed to get one side of it vinyled yesterday before it got dark. I'll do the left side this coming weekend. I had to take a picture of the amps last night. I've still got to work on positioning a little but I'm much happier with it than I was with the previous attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Nice progress. That stinks about the logo's not being centered! I think them all lined up straight across with the MS8 looked a bit better. Keep up the good work.

I just have to say that I find it somewhat amusing that every time I think I'm done spending money I end up on Parts Express or Amazon placing another order. So far this week I have ordered the following: 1/4" Polycarbonate lexan 6"x34" 1/4" Polycarbonate lexan 16"x16" (had to meet the minimum $30 order) Six 3/4" neodymium magnets CA glue CA Accelerator ANL fuse holder Cable ties with screw mounts Two NVX RCA cables Two 8 position Terminal blocks Black & Decker Jig Saw Three M6x100mm screws 14 Sq feet KnuKonceptz Kno Knoise deadener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcel Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I just came inside after spending a few hours working in freezing temps, upper teens, low twenties. I did manage to get some work done though. I have to admit, I suck at making trim panels but I'm doing my best. I think once vinyl the pieces tomorrow it will look alright. First off, amp cover panel. To finish it off I used a rabbet bit on the underside to make it easier to wrap and rounded off the amp viewing cutout. I did the cutout 1/4" larger than the lower panel to show off the accent vinyl on the lower piece. I also made the top cover panel to go on top of the sub box. It's not that exciting so I only took one picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
