Nice work as usual!

 

[Outsane]

What will be the first song played?

 

[Wermz]

Thanks broski! Lee, ive often wondered which song will be first. There are a few ways to look at that.

1. Theres going to be lots of test tones to calibrate the DSP and make sure there is no harmonic distortion on signal lines, also for setting crossovers and equalizers, after that adjusting gains on each of the amps. All of that is done with an oscilloscope, so youll never actually hear those test tones.

2. Im tossing around a few songs for the first song played to make sure everything sounds okay. Once all the settings are finalized there are things to consider, like recording quality for instance, and if there is “trash” in the song that could hurt the speakers at full volume.

3. Once EVERYTHING has been adjusted, vetted, and im comfortable to turn it up to 11, heres a couple songs id like to hear.
Ying Yang Twins, Long time.
UGK, How long can it last.
Usher, Climax
The Temptations, Papa was a rollin’ stone.


My ideal playlist contains a lot of older recordings that simply wont be able to play at full volume due to the quality, but they should be plenty loud anyway.

Also youtube will shiit all over me for posting anything copyrighted, so ill have to download license free music to play in the truck in order to post a video.

 

[Wermz]

Im gonna call these wings. Heres wing 1, its sorta wedged in there right now, waiting for paint to dry before i can fully mount it to the box with heavy 90 brackets

 

[Wermz]

I got sub wiring done through the side of the box, secured the extra wire, and installed the final woofer.

 

[Outsane]

Amazing!

You’ll be ready when a rock crawling event also hosts a car stereo competition. Do you run dual, triple, or…. Battery set up?

I have been wondering about the battery and alt setup

I have been wondering about the battery and alt setup

Im ordering 2 XS Power group 34 AGMs, thats about 250 amp hours between them, good for about 2500 watts. I already have a Power Bastard 220a alternator waiting for install. So thats 220amps minus 50 to run the truck, so 170 dedicated to accessories, 1amp/1amp hour=10watts. The math adds up to a charging system that is capable of about 4200watts. Im running 2700watts worth of amps to start with. Ill have space for a third battery if i really need it. I may put a much bigger amp on the subs, thats unlikely, but not impossible

Heres a mid saturday update, with a full weekend of work coming.. stereo video 2 should be up by end of sunday.

 

[Wermz]

 

[Wermz]

With minutes to spare..

 

[Wermz]

Got a little of the wiring done, a bit more to do still.. this is getting real close. Got total system volume and bass knobs installed in a place im comfortable with, along side the epicenter control knob..

 

[Wermz]

bezos dropped off my last few little parts to finish the wiring, fingers crossed itll make some noise this weekend!

 

[Wermz]

Just like the simpsons, i predicted the future..


Fuses are in, 90% of the wiring is complete, plenty of room for amps and speakers, wires tucked in the box bracket and secured!! Dudes this weekend!!!!!

 

[TUNEUP]

Do you know how much flake you used in that paint job?
