Jat40 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 As far as power, I indeed will be relying heavly on the alts to supply the power needed, only using 2 D3100s right now. The plan is to add 2 additional D3100s, mounted in the spare tire well, first of next year. The budget for this build has been meet. I hooked up with Rob @ DCP and using this configure should work for know. Using the external regulator means all 4 alts will act as 1 single unit. I tell yea, it nails you to the windshield right now. I'm working on additional pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jat40 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 OK. So I installed 3/4" MDF to the underside of the rear roof using G glue and attached 1 3/4' to the cross member of the roof line. Then, using curved 1.5" MDF, was able to get the flatness needed. Then, one more solid section of 3/4" to finish off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jat40 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Here are photos of the box. I lost a few during an upload last month, so I don't have as many as I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jat40 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 OK. So we have the 1500.4 mounted to the front of the box. 2 of the T4Ks mount upside down and the other 2 mount side to side at an angle. I know, some of you don't like windows covered like that, but really, with a box this size, who needs to see out, right. Any way, here are some additional photos. Here are some test fit pics.

Jat40 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Looks like you have done this before, lol Yea. I installed for about 15 years, mid 80's through the late 90's. For me, I have nothing but respect for audio installers. It is a tough job. For me, I found it was a better hobby than a career. I'm 40 now and this build about killed me. I don't know how I ever did it in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
