Chickens 2002 Caddy, The Hoopty 8 18" Fi Btl + Rockford Fosgate (2) T15k Amps! UPDATES! IPAD AIR 2 In Dash page 335

small update:

Friday i went and chilled at Chickens pad after work and didnt do anything. Saturday i went to the Grass Valley show, I drank beer afterwards and chilled out again So i only worked today but i put a long day in 55 pics, may not SEEM like much but it was a lot of work.

first thing is first. The amps draw a ton of current during warm up so i want one of the remotes to be switchable from up front so he can warm one up at a time. Its just easier on the electrical system especially if its idling during warm up. I also am running wires so i can turn the PowerMaster charger on from up front that way he can plug it in and THEN hit the switch (for those concerned with the plug location) I also ran some extra wire just in case for the future so i can just tap in if i need to rather than run new wires. Im planning for expansion

Had lots of bare metal to cover and the stock plastic will come in handy....but only after i butcher the hell out of it

You cant just do trim in this situation without some sort of support...time to frame it out. As you can see its all plumb and level (well you cant see the bubble but trust me on that)

Ugly as HELL right? just wait take notes its a pretty cool way to find difficult curves, just hash it together. Overlap it, tape it together whatever you gotta do....pull it out and then trace it clean. See the next 2 pics...

I spent a ton of time on the wiring so i wanted to show it a little. There will be a plexi glass window in this spot on both sides. The 3sixty is barely in the window but at least i can see the light and tell what mode its in. I had no choice, the legnth of the RCA's and the fact its already done made it where i cant move it up more. Its fine it will be a suttle little view- thru anyway....

Ok time to deal with the PowerMaster charger. I wanted both windows to be in the same spot left to right........i didnt want a window down low on the left, and up top on the right so it was time to break out the butcher knife again. I had to peal the sticker off to gain access to the screws holding the circuit board to the case.

Time to extend the wires......everything is soldered and heatshrunk. I extended the on/off switch wires to the front. I will probably drop a stinger volt meter where the power switch hole is. The digits fit perfect back there, too bad the one i have stopped working.

Had to make some brackets to hold the face to the wall. I had some Stainless layin around so i made up a few. They worked perfect.

the left side will match the right on the next set of updates. The window on the driver side will show the status of the charger along with a shot of the buss bars.......im clockin out for the night though, it was a long day.
