maybe you've said it before, but I can't remember. where do you get your copper from?

Metals Supermarket.  There may be a place to get it a bit cheaper, but Metals Supermarket lets you buy in literally any amount, small or large, and has copper for 40% of the cost of Amazon copper.  That 7" long piece of steel that we used for the alt bracket cost $9 since I didnt need any more than that.  Its nice for hobbyists.

Looks like there's one in Richmond (I see youre in VA), but also check for any metal supply place.

Yeah man, sick. Your bus layout with the 150's, great idea. Keep on with the pics...I'm taking notes 

Thanks man, dont let the 150s fool you tho, we're running only 4/0 so there will be a bunch of 300A fuses in there... along with some capssss... :peepwall:

The Sonic took centerstage before the holidays, so we put the Jeep on hold temporarily.  Now for updates

Amp rack is coming along

Quick mockup

Preliminary testing with the IMSG says the port is tuned to 32Hz.  LOL, a bit low for a 4th order, but we're gonna break em in and then decide the final port length/tuning once everything is loosened up.

A lot more coming, we're trying to have Shadow ready for show season.

Time to get this infrastructure under the hood in order.

Had to trim some plastic from the ECU block to fit the dual G34 battery tray

Got the 'back' bracket installed for the large case GM modular case alternator

28082606419_7852136a9e_b.jpg

Made a mistake on the dimensions, but that ok since we just used a countersunk bolt to make sure its flush on the face

28082603209_cacf6d382d_b.jpg

Here you can see the overlap on the countersunk bolt in this pic

Making cuts on the front bracket

28082600589_d53638c00d_b.jpg

Here's a view of both brackets

Battery-alternator-engine ground... using 4/0

39862504411_5e7a3c6e05_b.jpg

Theres some washers acting as spacers so that the lug will fit well

39152253254_813855c1c1_b.jpg

The alt is mounted facing backward, here's a view.  The belt was lined up perfect

Tapping some copper for engine-bay-battery awesomeness

39862514941_83df4f68ac_b.jpg

Working around this design.  Had an opportunity with a D3400 and a D3400R.  Really digging how minimal we can do the fuse block with reverse batteries.

New chassis-battery ground (4/0)

Oh shit

39152257164_ee7f02e1c0_b.jpg

Positive on top with fuses running down.  Negative/Ground on the lower terminal.  Reallly tight fit with 4/0

39152249794_de07fb2508_b.jpg

Keeping these cuts classy

39862499471_7d60ec287d_b.jpg

Ran out of lugs for the Positive Alt-Battery run, so we threw some 1/0 in there for this week.  Updates to follow

Drilling and countersinking

Taping off the glue areas on the underside of the amp rack so we can paint the inside of the rack

The internal lead for the speaker output was sitting on the FETs.  Added a few zip ties so that the actual wire jacket isnt touching anything

Hauling ass now...  More painting this week and glue this weekend.  Once all that is dry we can install this thing and see how it sounds.
