Small update!

Steve did as he said he would and hooked me up with a free jug of Sunflash and a free 4 place ANL SMD fuse holder!!! No pics. but it came only a couple days after he said he would send it and provided me with tracking. People this nice still exist in car audio? :shok: I have been paying it forward by giving car audio equipment away locally. :good:

Got my Mechman alt back....well as far as I can tell it appears they sent me a new one?!.... :shok: I can't say for sure but inspecting it in my hands in my kitchen...the thing is flawless enough to go in a glass case and be on display...don't think it was mine or ever hooked up. Super fucking happy for great CS!!!!! Will be installing it when i get off work in a few hours.

I plan on swapping out the Lanzar's to CT Sounds component sets for rear fill running off Rockford Fosgate power series amplifier(s).

I am keeping my substage the same for now (at least until spring, maybe longer). if I can get more of the same sub amps as I have now I will be changing it up, not sure to what yet though. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207654-wtb-dc-audio-50k-all-black/

NEXT step, I plan on adding some super/ultras caps to my electrical, without taking anything away from it. This will be happening very soon, and there will be pics. to follow as I plan on changing around my set up just a tiny bit to make it look better...hopefully. so electrical will consist of

2 charging systems, stereo side ONLY...

1 Mechman 370 Elite (6 phase hairpin)

1 XS Power D3400 (under hood)

8 XS Power XP3000's (in rear by amps)

X number of cap banks in rear by amps

3 runs of 2/0 OFC front to back

supplying 2 DC 5k's, 1 RF T600-4, 1 RF T400-4, 1 RF T600-2

No my door panels aren't done yet to house my 2 sets of PPI 3 ways. I have to glue the cap back on my PAC LC-1 knob also^^^

Voltage used to hit a wall when i got to battery resting (13.0) but now it just goes into 11's at idle.  No change from the electrical this past summer/fall etc.... Oh well.  it was below zero this day but vehicle was warmed up.

Cut some scrap MDF in basement just to throw these in to see how they sounded.  they sound decent but aren't very loud.  Partly I think because they are behind you, down low, and off axis.  oh well, for rear fill it is whatever...LMAO

Very impressed with the builds you've had. I can't believe I haven't been through this fi x build yet man. Shit, I actually feel bad I haven't seen this yet lol

 

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the sunflash...

I found that song randomly on spotify. That song slams! And also looking forward to seeing what you do with the sunflash. I have looked at getting some as well to experiment a little more with fiber glassing. 

Cant wait to see how this build goes!

Thanks!  Yea, I have been using Sunflash since either 2013 or 2014 and it works really good.  I really need to do SOMETHING with it and get some sound back in front of me.....Hopefully this spring.

I used to be everywhere, but I got tired of trying to give advice just to have some noob come in and shit all over a sound opinion. I've neglected some awesome threads. Time to get back in.

 

But I do like your build a lot. I can see myself going in the same direction.

Well February is here so it's time to think about doing some new stuff for spring....I still love this set up but I bought another DC Audio 5.0K and am still looking for another! ??

I never pulled the trigger on the ultra/super caps because I couldn't justify spending hundreds more dollars on electrical on a daily ground pounder that didn't matter and was "good enough" already as I thought it would just be money wasted and not well spent but going from 10k+ RMS on substage to 20k+ RMS I think it's time!!

I wanted to go back to 18" but can't justify changing out subs considering how much all brands cost these days ?? so I might just change current configuration but not sure yet...

Definitely gonna continue to use the same RF mids/highs amps but DEFINITELY need to get some speakers in front of me and/or door panels done because this jimmy rigged rear stage only is, pardon my language, fucking stupid!  (and annoying).

 

Not much else to report at this time, won't be anything hugely different so meh...boring ass, half ass, rebuild (if you can call it that)  ?
