Colin - STAPUFT Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Posted June 10, 2012 booked my room in february bro! Same place as '09? I think we will actually be staying on the coast instead of driving back and forth to Picayune. In-Laws got us some free nights with their casino points. If they only have one night for us, then screw it- I will pay for another night. will i have my truck though is the question What is up with it? I know you had transmission issues and some other things. Definitely no fun being without your toy. Been there, done that. 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 June 12, 2012 Author Report Posted June 12, 2012 Holy crap man. Sucks. Hope you get it back going soon. You've had crappy luck with Dodge trucks. Maybe this will be the end of that stuff.... 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 June 15, 2012 Author Report Posted June 15, 2012 Wired in the 4th bass knob cable. Now all four amps work off of the one bass knob. Pictures below (cell phone photos- just so much easier to upload that way...) While doing this I discovered something pretty cool. The bass knob, as it would seem, is not fully a bass boost knob. When the knob is turned about 2/3 the way up, the system plays at the same level as it does with no bass knob at all. The last 1/3d makes it get even louder. This is good. So- if I'm right, it is more of an attenuation knob. So, less worry about clipping and whatnot (even though Things are O-Scoped). On with the pictures: After having them all together with different colors- I really thought about re-doing it all from scratch and use only Blue wire with the lengths all exact for mounting on the amp board... but then I figured- why? Eventually, I will get a nice fiberglass vanity panel up around the back of the box- on the sides and around the Brutus amps. But that is later... And last but not least- a new cooler for Scrapin' the Coast. I do have some more Cool White LEDs and I got some Blue LEDs too- presumably to go hither and thither around the cab- but I dunno if I will do that. It is well lit now for my taste, and the LEDs are crazy bright. We'll see.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Posted June 19, 2012 Alright, I am trying to make this second alternator thing work. I may try to cut it by hand tomorrow with a grinder or band saw if I can find one, but my dad may bring a plasma cutter- that will be tomorrow night or Wednesday at the earliest. This could be a problem- I've got to leave for Scrapin' The Coast on Thursday.... This was NOT as easy as it looks. Sure, cutting a piece of cardboard... easy. But pulling out the AC and all of the hoses was a bear. To do that I had to pull off the doghouse, pull almost all of the bolts from the accessories on the front of the motor, wires, radiator hoses, on and on- even had to pull a valve cover off to get one of the AC bolts out. The joys of Astros. Oh yeah, and put it all back in. FYI- this is another GM CS-130 small case alternator. I rebuilt this one with a "220 Amp" kit and put an overdrive pulley on it just like the other one. However- this CS-130 is not off of an Astro. I'm not quite sure what it came off of to be honest. The "ears" on the front of this alternator are different than ones for Astros. Looks like this belt will be about an inch too long. Hopefully all will go well, and I should be able to source a shorter one from an autoparts store in my town. 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.
