Purplehaze Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 dang, imma have to bring my car to you and have some stuff done.. To all: Calm yo tits. To OP: Good work! Very nice for a budget build, although I agree with the poster (too lazy to see who it was) that said stay away from a prefab box, build your own. Keep it up. Thanks guys! I'm going really slow, but making sure everything is right. @imnotmikal- As it turns out, I'm doing exactly that. I returned the P.O.S. box from the web, and had dad pick up a sheet of 3/4" and a sheet of 1/2" MDF. I'm thinking of a few different ideas for the porting, any suggestions? I kinda like the areo ports, but I'm not too familiar with them, or how to calculate for them. Ideas are welcome!!!

Purplehaze Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Okay so I under estimated how much it was gonna take to get this battery in. Had to build a new battery trey, so I also made it to bolt on to the fuse box, and give me a spot for my breakers. It's drying now, and will be installed tomorrow. The trey may be made from plywood, but its covered w/ 1/8" bondo, then sanded, primed, painted, and cleared. It should last. Once I got all the old junk out, I could figure out how to do this.

Chaise Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Man that rear battery placement is awesome. Hell this entire build is awesome for being on a tight budget. I ain't no high roller so I know how sweet it is to get all these new toys after saving up. Definitely looks pro. Keep up the good work. I like the oldschool one..

Purplehaze Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks guys, I'm really proud of it. It means a lot to hear people say I'm doing a good job. I'm really putting a lot of time into it, trying to think ahead, and do everything exactly rt. So thanks again, and stay tuned, I'm getting close now! So today I got my Load Boss alt. in, and finished up all the electrical. Everything works great EXCEPT the Battery Isolator. I'm really disappointed with it, b/c it doesn't seem to want to charge the rear battery. So tomorrow I'm gonna take it out, and start wiring up the amps. It is getting close now for sure! Original alt and belt was still in it! 165K miles aint bad!
