Gold Member Username: Wolf_houndPhoenix, AZ Post Number: 1359 Registered: Sep-05 | U know what would of looked nice? If you went with black carpet with a green port like the color of the stickers. And what happened to the rubber outing that goes on the sub? imo it would of looked much better. |
|
Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 712 Registered: Sep-05 | Thanks for the idea Julian. I wish I would have heard or thought of that before I had my box built. As far as the rubber, I have it, just forgot to put them back on for the pics. |

Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 754 Registered: Sep-05 | Okay updates. I haven't been able to do much. Baseball, baseball and more baseball. I have hooked up the 4 channel amp, ran all of the speaker wires and the RCAs. I also discovered that I needed to add a fourth toggle switch. Why? Becasue if I didn't the only time I would have music is when the bass was on and that wouldn't work for all of the time. So, I made a new faceplate for my toggle switch box. I used thick plexi. That is in and all hooked up. I also began working on getting the new plexi in for the amp rack. Next month I am hoping to order my new box. It will be black carpeting with a green port. Pics:  New faceplate with black plastic I didn't use  New faceplate plexi with black plastic  New faceplate plexi  New faceplate plexi with black plastic  New faceplate plexi with black plastic & toggles  Again  New faceplate plexi glued  New faceplate plexi painted  New toggle box with all 4 toggles mounted  Again  Old plexi taken out  Old plexi on new plexi |

Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 757 Registered: Sep-05 | 6/09/2011 Okay, first of all, I really meant to answer/respond before this, but I went to jail for 10 days. PLEASE DO NOT ask why, it is very personal. Anyway, I have been home since monday and have been busy. First of all, I finalized the wire cleanup. I have also built a rack for my 4 channel amp. It will be leaned against the back of the sub box. Speaking of sub boxes, I am still trying to decide what to do, order or build myself. I am leaning towards building myself because of cost. I got my new HO alternator back in and I have put my high heat split wire looming on all of my big 3 and amp wires. I am also going to put "Riddle Me This" on the inside of my trunk lid with the green neon wire. Now, the pics:  Wire mess cleaned up complete  Again  New amp rack for 4 channel amp  Again  Once more  And with the amp on it  Green lights for new amp rack  Again  One more  With amp  HO alternator back in  Big 3 with protection  amp wiring with protection    6/10/2011 Finished the new amp rack. Pics:         So, other than the sawdust, staples to be painted and a little more paint, this is done. I'm going to bed, I'm beat! |

Silver Member Username: MystrePemberville, Ohio USA Post Number: 770 Registered: Sep-05 | AWESOME! Except for some cosmetic things. The box is covering up the plexi, the other amp rack is not fitting like I wanted. Just petty stuff that I will work out. As far as the subs, WOW! It's like riding a roller coaster, when your done, your like phew! LOL |
