Lowroll Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Okay, I was supposed to have updates on sunday but didnt, so ill post them now. For the 20 seconds the fuse held my voltage was still way low. I think I need a ground strap from the bed to the frame. Does anybody have suggestions? this is my first time adding batteries.

Lowroll Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 So the Lowroll is back for another rebuild. Its been a while since iv updated this so here it goes. I built this box, & broke the back out (thanks to decafs beats) Broken mdf & screws sheared off. So it goes in the old box pile. Current beat.....

Lowroll Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yesterday I started teh new box. Routing out the back wall for airspace. every little bit counts. Matted & resined corners. Should be strong. Let me know what you guys think so far!

Lowroll Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 why is the back of the box particle board? Whoa, it is not particle board. Technically it is but its Advantech. We use it at work for subfloors bc its strong as hell & cheap. Im tired of breaking MDF & this stuff is half the price of birch.

uhoh_45 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 for your ground drill a hole and attach it directly to the frame oh and as for you breaking your box your using way to many screws there to close to each other and well mdf likes to crumble when that happens R.I.P!

Lowroll Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 o ok yea i couldn't tell in the pics. how are you breaking the mdf though? Well, the box was sealed & I guess there was just too much pressure in the box & it just broke the mdf out around the screws. for your ground drill a hole and attach it directly to the frameoh and as for you breaking your box your using way to many screws there to close to each other and well mdf likes to crumble when that happens The ground has been changed since those pictures. It now goes to frame but im gonna run 1/0 from the front battery to those in the rear. I always thought a lot of screws was a good thing. In this new box im trying to do it different with 3/4" front & back panels & have the screws run long ways into those panels. Building box after box isnt cheap.
