You can really see how badly the paint needs wet sanding and buffing..

Paints fine it's a Crawler !!
Should be able to hear the boogie out here on the west coast !
Nice work as usual!
 
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.
 
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


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 ;)
 
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..
