spill the beans meade whats the plan you thinkin 8's?

[HaMSaMMiCH]

I've been wondering, sense you run umpteen amps and processors, what do you do for remote? Remote from HU to relay hooked to constant? Or does the 360 have a remote output?

[qu1cks1lver56]

steve that soldering iron youre using at 0:46 in the vid, where did you get it?

that thing has the best idea for a tip ive ever seen.

progress is lookin good, i need to learn to take my time like you do

I usually use relays but this time i am going to use my remote control box (like the hoopty) to control the amps. They will come on like normal when the deck comes on, but they will also be able to be turned off seperately. I like being able to cut my bass amps off if i know im not beatin down the block like say if im listening to talk radio or something that doesnt require 11 amps to be playing.

What im going to do is, i am going to use a relay that will be triggered when the deck comes on (from its stock remote). That relay will power up the remote box. The4 outputs will be bass amps, mid amp, midrange amp, tweet amp. I also have another one of those so ill actually have 8 outputs that i can control with 2 remotes (future use).

Good shit sir, can't wait to see where you shoehorn in all those amps!

Steve, your builds give me so much motivation to work on my car even when it's not audio related.

Props to you.

spill the beans meade whats the plan you thinkin 8's?

i have 2 door panels i got from a wrecking yard about a year ago...i PLAN on ATTEMPTING to do an 8 with a combo of 6.5's and tweets. Its not going to be as many as the hoopty but it will be the same concept...full door panel mod. Anyway, my plan is to leave my current door panels where they are, speakers and all, and get my system up and running....While its up and running and i see that all is well, i will start my OTHER panels. Once those are done and ready for install, i will just switch them out. This way, i dont have to be down while im working. Great plan huh

This is the PLAN so far and HIGHLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE

I am hoping to do at least:

(2) 4" (A pillars)

(10) 6.5 (doors, kicks)

(2) 8 (doors)

(10+/-) Tweets (doors, kicks, A pillar)

(4) 18's (rear cargo area) <~~~~you knew that already but i had to toss it in to look cool

its a cheap cordless from Radio Shack....takes 4 AA batteries. Its not that great unless the wire is 12awg or lower though. Also, it chews up batteries fairly fast.....i got the tip stuck to one of the speaker wires because i ran outa juice mid/solder Its not bad on fresh batteries though. Takes about 7-10 seconds to get hot enough to solder which isnt bad and it being portable is real nice. I hate setting up my normal soldering iron and "station", waiting 10 minutes, and then doing a little wire......if you have a small job to do the cordless is nice to have. Cools fast too so you can throw it in the tool box right away.

you think other people get stupid, nonsense, douchebag comments during the day, try being me and having it happen 100's of times per week. Lucky for me, the ratio is well over 1000 to 1 on good or friendly comments to negative. With over 2mill views a month, that 1000 to 1 adds up fast and ends up being quite a few negatives but still much more positives, and thats why i still do it.
