Explorer Sport Build: Dual alts, 8 12s, 3400 watts, 154 DB!!!


Recommended Posts

If you thought those gains seemed easy, check this out lol. So i pulled the front 4 woofers out, wired two of the 1700s to .5 each and also braced the box up some more. I put some dowels between the baffles to brace them up. I made plugs for the unused holes and used some weather stripping to seal it up.On to the results....

haha! Screw You! :D

meh... let me re-wire this and throw in some wood.... 3.5 DB gain while in the 150s!!! LOL.

Great job sir. She is coming a long something serious!

I know, I never expected this from this system honestly. But I'm very impressed with how well they take it. The gains will be MUCH harder to get now

modded my voltmeter into the dash, being that my ex is a manual this was relatively easy to do

then i took a dual 0 gauge stinger block and modified it to work on my alt, giving me 2 runs of 1/0 from alt to battery

added dual inputs to both 1700s thanks to Project DB

scored some kick pods on CACO relatively cheap and got them wired up with some Kenwood 5.25 components

i changed my port up again, this time i opened it up some and made it longer. biggest difference i noticed was how much cooler the system seemed to run. woofers wouldnt get stinky as quickly.

it takes power to make power. i went and purchased a new large case gm alt from a local auto electric shop and am fabbing dual alts now. ive got the bracket about halfway complete, just havent had a chance to finish it.

IMAG0644_zps832fc7e4.jpg

looks like enough space...

IMAG0645_zps90a3ca55.jpg

its gonna be a tight squeeze...

IMAG0646_zps73638b51.jpg

and finally a bracket started

i need to add a idler pulley to get sufficient wrap on the alt and ac pump heres my idea

and finally i changed up my bracing in the box 5/8" threaded rod
