about to redo my system

[patrick4588]

currently i have a tsunami 4gauge wiring kit with tsunami 4 gauge battery terminals going to a tsunami 2farad capacitor. mtx thunder elite 801d amp and mtx dual 7512 sledgehammer loaded enclosure. also have mtx components in the front doors and coaxials in the back running off a thunder elite 404 amp. pioneer premier 780mp head unit with tsunami rca's. i previously had the car gutted and sold the rear seats and rear carpet and everything. so when i put the system in, i need something to set the subs on. cut this board just to fit in there and keep the subs sitting on something; so dont hate because of it. i know it doesnt fit great, and thats getting changed.




I just swapped all my engine bay grounds to tsunami 4 gauge and tomorrow im ordering 100' of kicker 12gauge speaker wire and a 1/0awg kicker hyper flex wiring kit. also scooped some tsunami 1/0awg battery terminals. the car is getting completely re-wired with speaker wire going into the doors. also going to add a lot more dynamat to the doors and trunk. in the next couple months, im hoping to order a rear seat delete and new audio equipment. im getting an mtx thunder elite 1501d and 2 mtx thunder square 8512s. Then im going to get another optima yellow top to go in the trunk and build a custom box for the subs. Then new carpet is going in.

[patrick4588]

kicker stuff ordered: 1/0awg wiring kit, 2 ch rca's, 4 ch rca's, 12 gauge speaker wire.

[patrick4588]

kicker stuff came in. will get pics soon

[BanginJimmy]

If I would had seen this in time I would have told you to save yourself some cash and order your wiring stuff from knukonceptz. I also have a boatload of speaker wife I would have sold you cheap, along with some 1/0 wire.

[patrick4588]

i work at circuit city so i got it on discount

[BanginJimmy]

that changes things

[patrick4588]

yeah kicker hyper flex on 75% off ftw. haha

[Nex]

hey bro who did the custom board in the trunk? lmk i need one made.

[patrick4588]

you can have mine. lol. it doesnt fit all that great, it was just something to set the subs on. customrearseatdelete.com makes a kit, buts its like 320shipped

[patrick4588]

on a good note, here are some more pictures of the stuff.






comparison of 4 gauge wire and the new 1/0 gauge. pretty huge...

[patrick4588]

today i put the new battery terminals on, ran 4 gauge wire to the starter, alternator, fuse box, and abs relay box. 1/0gauge was ran to the back and i changed all my chassis grounds to 4ga along with one 1/0 ground from the battery to the chassis.

[patrick4588]

[patrick4588]

subs and amp came in. i cant wait to get this stuff put in.

[SRCRX]

NICE, Keep us dated!!

[patrick4588]

tonight i started on the rear seat delete and cutting the boards for the box. i only had about an hour before i ran out of daylight, and i dont have a garage so once its dark, thats it. i didnt take any pics of the boards for the box, but here's a cell phone shot of the progress on the rear seat delete. obviously the boards will be together with no gap and carpeted, but that gives you a general idea

[Silvrmaxx]

very nice. its nice to see something done right... what did you use to make that board for the trunk? i cut mine out of 3/4" MDF. holds up pretty well, then i used some spray adhesive to hold the factory carpet on it.

[Dracc]

nice.. where were you when I needed a 1/0 gauge kit lol.. I paid like 150 just for power wire lol.. but its all done now

[patrick4588]

the final product will be in 1/2 mdf, right now is just a outline

[patrick4588]

put the top on the box, cut out the holes for the subs, and caulked it up tonight.

[terrytowe22]

i got a killer amp that will push the subs hard its a 2600 hifonic amp lmk if ur intrested

[patrick4588]

i got a killer amp for em too. mtx thunder elite 1501d

[patrick4588]

finished building the box today. still need to carpet it and wire it. i belt sanded the edges and its pretty good. its caulked and ready for subs.

[Silvrmaxx]

very nice setup. box looks awesome!!

[Dozier]

Definitely looking like a fun project. I love MTX stuff. My 1872812369'th setup was with 6 MTX thunder 5500 12's and started out with one 1501d, but toasted it. Then stepped into three 801d's. That was a long time ago though. I wanted to chime in to say don't get a yellow top. Buy a kinetik battery. I currently have two for sale for 275 negotiable each. Battery Capacitors from Kinitik come second to none. You won't find a better battery. Hell you could run the whole car off of one 2400, which is what I have. Had three total. Paid about 400 each.

[Silvrmaxx]

why are you going from the mtx 7500 to the 9500?? jus curious

[patrick4588]

i have a severe bass obsession...

[Dozier]

Right on...that is the only way to do it. Bass ftmfw!! Just pulled 4-18" FI BTL subs out of my truck. Was walled off.

[patrick4588]

omg pics please

[patrick4588]

thats ridiculous on so many levels. haha nicely done

[Dozier]

Tore it all out. I still have one more BTL for sale....The amps are all for sale, even the four channel for the speakers. Already sold the mids and highs, and one battery. But have two batts left. It is all in the for sale section. Selling the radio too. Was going to do 16-P3 12's in there, but I am holding off for a little bit right now.

[Nittanys1]

nice work! I have those same couches that you have...man they are SOOOO uncomfortable...

[patrick4588]

those couches are simply to hold parts. lmfao

[Nittanys1]

lol, yeah mine became the basement couches when we got new ones.

[patrick4588]

spray painted the box black just in case the carpet ever tears or anything like that it wont be very visible. also bought the carpet for the box.

[patrick4588]

today i painted the ports and carpeted the box except for the sides (ran out of material). i left a little carpet overhand on the sub holes because it should help seal them up.

[Silvrmaxx]

this ish is gonna be sick!! cant wait to see it when its done! thats a good idea to paint the box in case the carpet tears... just as long as the wood doesnt get scraped it wont show

[patrick4588]

exactly right

[Dozier]

Did you cover the sides?
