Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Very cool build man, I'd like to check this thing out if you take it to Scrapin the coast this year Thanks much, I appreciate it. I plan on being there! You are more than welcome to hit me up and check it out. I don't know if I will even go in the lanes this year; it is always a wicked disappointment every time I do. It isn't like the old girl is setting any records... lol. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

skittlesRgood Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 what are the specs on those diodes? If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 what are the specs on those diodes? I can't remember. They are decent size, but that isn't the point with a diode. All diodes will drop voltage by 0.7 volts across them. The only real reason to get a "bigger" diode is for durability / longevity. Looking good! Thanks much! I think I am down to adding batteries and making a fiberglass panel for the back. ...well- down to that on the stereo at least. The rest of the van is another story. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

I'll be on the car show side of things didn't really build my system to meter, just something cool to have and enjoy my music on. But I already want more so maybe 2014 I'll be in the audio end of things haha.

It might- only one way to know, really. That is some serious draw to melt the post off! haha! I had my positive terminal on my battery get HOT once- that was before the dual alts though. I had been cranking on it for a while too. I did something and just happened to put my hand on the battery post- and Woah! haha. Yeah... things that make you realize that there may be a problem. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Some more LEDs. Not done yet, but here is the night shot. I made some panels that block direct view of the leds... so, I get the glow without the glare. More LEDs to come a bit later on. Spring is just around the corner! **EDIT** My wife just looked at this pic and said "It kind of looks like Stitch. ...you know, from Lilo & Stitch cartoon?" ...yeah, nice. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 HYPER LEDs bringing the heat. Soon. I plan on putting a string under either running board. I should have a bit left over. Not sure if I want to put the extra under the front or back to do an all around deal or not. I guess it will depend on how it turns out under the running boards. I'm going to wire a toggle switch in for the exterior lights. I'm also going to wire them into my door lights so when I open the door or turn on the interior lights, the lights under the running board come on. I will just have to put a diode in there so when I turn the exterior lights on the interior lights won't come on too. And if I can find a place to put some of these inside the van where the strips won't be too noticeable, I will wire it into the factory interior lights. Make it daylight when I open the doors! 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I put the LEDs from HYPER on the van over 2 months ago, but didn't put up any pics.... I got some 3M double sided adhesive tape for the LEDs. Here are the LEDs with their new sticky backing- cut to length. Just for giggles, I added some to my Aquarium lighting. The LEDs on the top are from an auto parts store. The crazy bright ones are the ones from HYPER LED. Solderless connections to the LED Strips. And here are SOME of them. I still have to do front and back and maybe some other lights under it here and there.... The plan is to have the van floating on a bright cloud of marshmallowy goodness.... This shot it isn't really dusky dark yet.... It is hard to really describe how bright these are. Here is is getting darker out... Notice how the HYPER 6000k HIDs make the regular H3 fogs look like dog poop. lol And dark out- Like I said, there is more work with the LEDs coming. Right now I have them on a defeatable switch that is tied into the door / interior lights. I may do an over-ride thing of sorts where I can throw a switch and make them come on (but not the interior lights) and have a defeatable switch that can enable them to come on when I open the doors. Talk about "puddle lights" - psh... forget about it. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
